- Turn the printer off and open the access cover.
- Look for any obstructions in the paper path and remove them if
necessary. (It is possible to move the carrier assembly with the power
off.)
- Turn the printer on, load some paper, and press the Form Feed button. (On the X83, press the Select button.)
- Watch the paper as it feeds through and try to determine where the jam is occurring.
- Check to see if all the rollers are turning.
If all the rollers are turning, there may be something in the feed path that you can't see. Go to step 6.
If not, there is probably a feed motor or a gear problem and the printer may require service.
- If the paper is jamming under the carrier assembly, you may be able to fix it using the manual feed slot.
- Turn the printer off.
- Take a #10 envelope and feed it through the left side of the manual
feed slot until it comes right through the printer to the back of the
exit rollers.
- Move it up and down first, and then slowly move it over to the
right side. If something is stuck under the black guide plate, this may
work it loose.
I have the same problem. I even went so far as to take the printer apart, not recommended, and put it back together. There is not any foreign objects in the printer at all. Of course the warranty is expired.
my printer kept saying there was a paper jam, there was no jam. kept sending paper to print, now there is a paper jam and i can't get the paper out. help!
The paper won't go in. The right side goes down alittle bit but thats it. The printer says there is a paper jam. I can not use the printer.
printer says there is a jam
Says that there is a paper jam ... bit there isn't and I can't use the printer now
jam wont clear
I have somewhat the same problem, except the paper starts to feed through and turns a bit sideways, printer prints and I get a paper jam message
