Paper jam when copying

Hi,

Please clear out the paper jam by removing the tray and removing any pieces of paper stuck in the printer. You can also open up the back of the printer and remove paper as well. Then, try to print on both-sides again. If your printer has multiple trays, try switching the source tray prior to printing.

Thank you.

3. Push down on two tabs to release the tray 1 panel.
4. Remove the jammed sheet by pulling it straight out.
5. Push up on two tabs to replace the tray 1 panel.

If the Jam is in Tray 2:
1. Pull out tray 2 and place it on a flat surface.
2. Remove the jammed sheet by pulling it straight out.
3. Replace tray 2.
4. Press OK to continue printing.

If the Jam is in the Fuser area:

3. Close the rear door.

For the paper jam issue turn around the printer and open the back door to pull the paper.
and for the power issue unplug power cord from wall and from the printer side too,plug everything back and ready to work.

usual problem is a paper sensor (most likely a small lever) has gotten stuck.. find the paper sensors and reposition them

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.

hp tells me to do the following
does this help you ?



Issue While printing, copying, or receiving a fax, a paper jam occurs. If the jammed paper is removed incorrectly, other problems may occur. Clearing paper jams Remove the jammed paper by following the steps below: WARNING: Jammed paper must be removed using the rear access door to avoid mechanical damage. Do not remove jammed paper from the front of the all-in-one.

1. Turn off the HP product and turn it so the back of the all-in-one faces you.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the back of the all-in-one. CAUTION: The power cord must be disconnected to allow the paper feed rollers to turn freely and avoid mechanical damage.
3. Locate and open the rear access door by pressing in on the left side tab to release the catches and then pulling the door toward you. Figure 1: Removing the rear access door
4. Inspect the pressure rollers on the rear access door and verify that they are clean and turn freely. Clean the rollers if needed with a soft towel lightly moistened with water. If the rollers do not turn freely, replace the rear access door. Click How to Buy on this page to order replacement parts.
5. From the rear access door opening, remove the jammed paper.
6. Remove the remaining paper from the paper supply tray. Discard any paper that is damaged or crumpled and then re-stack and reload the paper into the paper supply tray.
7. Reinstall the rear access door.
8. Reconnect the power cord and turn on the all-in-one.

Preventing paper jams The following information will help prevent paper jams from occurring:

• Never use paper that is wrinkled or damaged in any way.
• If you are having problems using paper that has already been printed on once (recycling), replace it with fresh paper.
• Remove and then reinstall the rear access door. Verify that the access door is fully locked in place. The paper can skew if the rear access door isn't locked.
• Every six months to one year, clean the paper feed rollers with a rag lightly moistened with clean water. Over time the paper feed rollers accumulate dust and do not function as well as they once did.
• When printing envelopes, tuck the flap into the envelope and crease the folds before printing.
