Why does the printer keeps having a paper jam fault on final exit slot?

The Cannon I sensys mf4550d printer prints the full page but indicates a paper jam after printing 1 page. It clears after opening the bottom cartridge flap you can hear the reset click and it will print another page

It sounds like the exit sensor is sticking, so the printer doesn't know the paper has exited & throws a jam.

Testimonial: "is the exit sensor resettable or does it require replacing. where is it located"

    it sounds quite a logical problem thanks

  • marc_lucas Aug 25, 2014

    This sensor is located in the centre of the machine, around the area the print head moves accross, it is not easy to see, it will look like a small black leaver.

  • marc_lucas Aug 25, 2014

    ignore the above. The exit sensor on this model is located in the fuser unit, the hot section at the rear of the machine, open the rear cover you should just be able to see it, check it is free moving

SOURCE: Lexmark E320 Printing big black smear

1. Make sure that you removed the entire paper jam and that nothing is caught in the fuser assembly (the part that gets hot so make sure it is cooled off first,also do not use anything to dig at anything that might be there try carefully using a tweezer or needle nose pliers to pull it out.
2.Remove the toner cartridge and with a dry cloth or a pencil eraser clean off the contacts on your left when facing the inside of printer and the roller on the bottom can be wiped off to remove excess toner.
3.With toner cart. still out use a dry cloth to wipe the laser print head area located directly above the roller on the bottom of the printer be careful as the metal edges are sharp.
4.If there is a build-up of toner at the entrance of the fuser try gently removing it with a flat blade screwdriver with care.
5.If this doesn't help it may be necessary to replace the toner cartridge itself.

Best Luck

SOURCE: HP 4200 printer paper jam. No paper is jammed

check this out....when the printer reports the jam, open the paper tray very carefully and slowly.

Has the paper moved at all forward? Has it moved like 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch out of the tray?

If so, you probabaly need a torque limiter, no tools, $10 or so and a very very easy fix.

POBCM is very correct when he points out that the block/stop in the back of the tray moves when the tray is closed with too much force and this is the #1 cause most of the time.

You may see a "41.3" code displayed if the block is not up to the back of the paper and the paper is not all the way forward in the trays, and under the two metal clips at the front of the tray.

Cannot clear paper jam message on Canon I-Sensys MF4550D printer. Have cleared jam. Have switched off printer, unplugged. Switched off computer. Rebooted both and message still appears. Please help

The last resource is the certified repair centre from Canon. Look for the one in the manual or on the printer.
When the cause is not a paper jam, you won't be able to solve it yourself. Could be a sensor, a cab;e or even the logic board, But impossible to tell you what from a distance. Sorry.

Reset canon mf4550d

To reset a Canon i-SENSYS MF device, it is necessary to contact the Canon helpdesk. They will arrange a callback to guide you trough the reset. The steps for a reset are not public and if you can find them on the web, it is not safe to try resetting the device on your own. When clicking on a wrong option, it can be that the device has to be send to service for repair afterwarts.

My printer is printing only 1/4 vertically

I would first take your toner out and shake it and see if this helps. Sounds like a defective cartridge and or transfer roller.

I own a Canon Image Class MF 4550 d. This morning

Try turning the printer off and back on. If this does not work, try rebooting your computer. Another choice is to go to the Control Panel > Programs > Unistall a Program and delete the printer's software, reboot your computer and re-install the printer's softwre.
If this does not work, you can always return your printer for a full refund or ask them to exchange it for a new one.

The paper light is flashing. The tray has paper, there is no paper jam. I check everything, put tray back in, press go and after a few seconds, there is a click noise and it starts flashing. What do I do?

The light flashing may mean more things, not just a paper jam. Could mean any of the following:
- Front cover is open: Close the front cover of the printer.
- Back cover is open: Close the back cover of the printer.
- Paper jam: Clear the paper jam. To see paper jams and how to clear them, click here. If the printer does not start printing, press the Go button.
- No paper fed manual feed slot: Put the paper back in the manual feed slot.
- Memory full: The printer memory is full and the printer cannot print full pages of a document. To solve this problem, click here.
- Print overrun: A print overrun occurred and the printer cannot print full pages of a document. To solve this problem, go here.
- Drum Error: The corona wire needs to be cleaned. To see how to clean the corona wire, click here.

My Brother HL-2040 paper led light won't stop flashing, the paper's not jammed or anything, I just put in a new toner, too. I tried doing what someone else said about opening the cover and holding Go until...

Hi. The reasons listed in the manual that cause the LED to flash normally are:

Front cover is open
Close the front cover of the printer.
Back cover is open
Close the back cover of the printer.
Paper jam
Clear the paper jam. See Paper jams and how to clear them on page 6-5.
If the printer does not start printing, press the Go button.
No paper fed manual feed slot
Put the paper in the manual feed slot. See Printing on plain paper, bond paper
or transparencies from the manual feed slot on page 1-10 or Printing on thick
paper, labels and envelopes from the manual feed slot on page 1-13.
Memory full
The printer memory is full and the printer cannot print full pages of a
document. See Solving print problems on page 6-15.
Print overrun
A print overrun occurred and the printer cannot print full pages of a document.
See Solving print problems on page 6-15.
Drum Error
The corona wire needs to be cleaned. See Cleaning the corona wire on page 5-14.

If you check out page 6-5 it tells how to clear the paper jam from the rear of the machine! A point often missed.

Check out the website below if you don’t have a copy of the instruction manual =

http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/BSC/public/files/dlf/doc002089/US_Eur.pdf

If all else fails, try a reset of the printer Drum & Page counter:
  1. With printer tuned on.
  2. Press and hold the “internal button” behind front cover, until all LEDs illuminate.
  3. Make sure Drum light is off, then release and close front cover.
Hope some of this helps………..Please post a response back here and let us all know if it works?............Regards, Cornwellnet (UK)
