Paper will not feed

If you are getting a jam and there is no paper visible then a likely cause is a false jam that is caused when the paper is not picked up from the tray at the start of printing. Send a print job and listen closely. If you can hear the pickup rollers turning but no paper is being pulled into the printer then either the rollers are dirty or are worn and need to be replaced. Trying printing from a different tray or the manual feed tray to eliminate a fault with a different component on the printer.

There may be an obstruction inside the printer. Try this....remove the paper from the paper tray and put paper in the handfeed tray (front of the machine) If it feeds from that tray it means that the feed rollers in the bottom cassette are worn.

Try two things:

Fan the paper before placing in the tray.

Raise the humidity in the room to at least 40% to avoid electrostatic sticking of the paper. Store paper in 40% humidity area.

please check after you load paper on the paper tray and push it into the machine, should hear a click sound, if you don't hear that sound, that means you need to buy a new printer and that's no way to fix.
If you are able to hear a click, then please try to clean up your printer and check all paper loading rolls. if so, please replace it.

Hi,

Check side ADF grips are correctly setup, paper tray is not mis-aligned, remove if poss, and replace to check.

check you printer's properties paper size is set correct for the paper used,

open the back door check for loose particles or paper,
remove slowly.

4 x Feed rollers in the back, revolve and clean with distilled water.
wait till dry, try printing again

Disconnect the power cord from the product.
Press and hold # and 3 while reconnecting the power cord.
When reset displays, release both buttons.
Try printing again.

Hope this helps
Regards.

1. Take out paper tray 1.
2. Remove any jammed sheets of paper you find there.
3. Once you have done this, reinstall the paper tray and try printing again.
   Note: You may receive a message informing you that another sheet of paper is jammed elsewhere in the printer. If so, please open the front door and remove the toner cartridge. Also open the rear door of the printer (and the duplex option if a duplex unit is installed). Remove any and all jammed sheets of paper you find. Then try printing again.
4. If the printer jams again with a 241 Paper Jam error message, look to see if it has tried to feed a sheet of paper out of the tray.
   

just check to see if there is any obstructions were the paper is going through, unplug printer cables, press power button for 20 seconds without any cables connected, it will refresh printer memory, connect cables back,try photocopy, if nogo, printer fualty

Hi.
Check for a paper jam inside the paper feeder... There's something blocking the path that is why the 3-beep is activated. Also put lubricant to the head's round-bar, gears and levers.

Goodluck... Fixya me...

You have a very tiny paper jam that you have missed. You need to use a torch and tweezers and get right inside and look thoroughly and down behind in paper feed area. You will find a very small piece of paper somewhere broken off and jammed or a foreign object. Your scanning problem could be corrupted driver. Go to manufacturers site and download updated driver for your model. Uninstall printer completely before reinstalling new driver. Good luck
