The fuser unit has a pape sensor. If, for some reason, the sensor is stuck, the printer will read a paper jam. Open the rear door and inspect the paper sensor located in the fuser assembly. See if it came out of it's original position or if there is something blocking it from moving freely. Good luck.

22 Paper Jam Lexmark OptraLx+

Check the rear of the printer, there is a flip down panel that exposes the fuser exit and redrive assbly (delivers the paper to the exit rollers). The paper sensors are little black plastic flags that swing in and out of optical sensors.

To access possible paper jams areas, please click the link http://bit.ly/jtehCY and then go to page 69.

The manual shows the path the paper travels through the printer and the options. The path varies depending on the paper source and paper exit selection (output bin). The jam areas are also shown on the pages.

Paper jam due to water condensation in fuser unit Optra C710

The problem is that you have paper that contains too much moisture. (I bet it's been in the printer for a long time and has absorbed moisture form the atmosphere.. has it been rainy lately? When the moist paper gets heated in the fuser, the excess moisture turns to steam which then condenses back to water
on paper guides etc. Your diagnosis that the water is causing the jam is correct.. Try using some dry paper and it should be fine.

Optra 2450 error 241

24X Paper Jam message displays, Paper jammed over the Pass
Thru Sensor. (The printer displays the value of X for the paper tray
where the error occurs. Example: 241 is a Paper Jam Tray 1)

That is a quote directly from the service manual. You have a paper jam, or some tiny bits of paper stuck over the pass thru sensor. Remove debris and clean out to fix your problem.

Thanks and please take a moment to rate as fixya.

202 pam jam

usually it means that a sensor in your fuser is bad. If you have a P.M. Kit replaced the fuser and clean the printer.

but before you do, make sure that you have cleared all jams, including in the fuser.

Its probably time for a Preventive Maintanence

I need help.

If your priter is showing a 241 paper jam and the paper stops in the paper tray or lower front, then you can replace the pick rollers to fix this problem. If the paper stops in the middle, then check to make sure the sensor flag in the middle left of the printer is clean and in place. If the jam is in the back of the printer then check the fuser rollers to make sure that they are rolling when the printer starts to print, check the exit sensors on the fuser, there are usually two flags, one on each side of the fuser. If there is no paper stuck in the printer, then make sure that all sensor flags are up and not stuck halfway down. Or check for dust in the sensors.
