PAPER JAM [LOCATION] Media is jammed at the specified location (and possibly at other locations). If the message persists after all jams have been cleared, a sensor or sensor lever might be stuck or broken. For all jam messages, do the following: 1. Remove jammed print media from the specified location. Check the entire paper path for other pieces of media in the path. 2. Open and close the top cover to clear the message. 3. Check sensors and flags in the paper path for proper operation.

Here's what we did: Lifted the lid and turned off printer. Then turned on again. Unplugged power cable from back of printer, moved the carriage toward the middle of the printer. Took out cartridges and closed the lid. Plugged the power cord back in. Reinstalled the cartridges. After the alignment page it worked fine. These instructions are paraphrased from HP website troubleshooting. I don't have any idea why any of it worked, but it did and I'm grateful.

If the jammed sheet is entirely within the printer, remove the sheet as follows:

Make sure that the printer is turned off.

Open the printer cover by pressing the latch on the left side of the printer and lifting the cover up all the way.

Warning: Opening the printer cover exposes the fuser, which is marked CAUTION Hot Surface Avoid Contact. Be careful not to touch the fuser. If the printer has been in use, the fuser may be very hot.

1. CAUTION Hot Surface Avoid Contact

Remove the developer cartridge.

Caution: When removing the developer cartridge, never touch the developing roller under the flap; otherwise, print quality may decline.

Remove the photoconductor unit.

Caution: Never touch the photoconductor unit's light-sensitive drum; otherwise, print quality may decline.

Remove the paper from the paper path.

Note: If paper is jammed at the fuser, grasp the bottom of the paper and pull it out.

Reinstall the photoconductor unit, and then the developer cartridge.

Close the printer cover.

Tap the edges of the stack of paper on a flat surface and carefully reload it into the MP tray. (Do not reload curled or wrinkled sheets.)

Printing automatically restarts from the page that jammed. If the Paper light stays on after removing all jammed paper, open and close the printer cover to clear the error.
