Hello,

The pickup rollers on your tray are worn out. If you pull out the tray and look at the pickup rollers they should have a rough surface and your are going to be smooth. The printer is trying to pickup the paper but can't so the printer thinks the paper is jammed. You will need to replace the rollers, a very easy thing to do. We sell the set of pickup rollers for $6.95 shipped.
Contact us at 318-447-9040 or [email protected] if you need a set.

I hope this helps, if so please rate our solution.

Several thing can cause this jamming in lexmark options trays. here are somethings to check. if you pull the drawer all the way out and turn the tray assembly upside down on the left side of the track that the drawer rides on there is a bell crank its pretty small qnd sticks out of the frame about 1/4 of an inch this adjusts the tension to the 2 feed wheels that align the the paper to the paper path if this flag is broken off the paper wont leave the tray. if you remove the three screws from the auto compensator and install it on another tray that works fine you can rule out the auto compensator in less than 5 minutes. if you get a jam error with out any paper jam then it can very well be the logic boards nvram has been corrupted. there are two sides to the circuits in those trays have you moved tray three to position 1 to see if you have the same problem? the bottom circuit of tray 2 can be causing your tray 3 problem to rule this out move the tray.

Hp laserjet m3035 mfp does not take up the paper squeaks and reports paper jam - no papaer is jammed

Hello,

The most common cause of this type of Phantom paper jam is worn pickup rollers and separation pads in the paper trays. When these rollers get worn the gripping surface can not grab the paper correctly so no paper is fed into the printer and the printer gives the paper jam error. The rollers are very easy to replace, it takes about 20 minutes total. Here is a link to more information about the roller maint kit:

Paper jamming goes in a quarter of the way in printing still carries on but no papaer

Hi there!

Inspect some paper jammed from the paper tray, from the ink cartridge compartment and from the rear door of the printer (back door) and then try to print again.

I cant get the machine to grab the paper and it says its out of paper, yet its not out of paper.

Hi, the Ip3000 has 3 different feeding trays...
make sure that the printer is trying to "grab" the paper in the tray that you have chosen to use in the printer properties box...
when you give the print command can you see the rubber roller moving to grab the paper in the top feeder tray???
if the roller that feeds the printer is not moving you may have accidentally changed the settings to grab paper from the bottom tray...the one right under the door that opens to let printed pages out of the printer...
the 3rd feeder tray is the DVD/CD printing tray...
I suggest that you look at the printer Properties for remedial action...
hope this helps you with your problem...
cheers
haitchhcee
p.s.
suggest you place paper in the bottom tray before making adjustments to see if it is trying to grab the paper from there...

I have an epson stylus photo 1400, and i did somethign stupid and jammed some paper, and i would like to know how to remove it. i can see it, but i can't grab it, and i don't know if there's any way i can...

Hi there,

Well first of all you can try to reset your printer -
Turn off printer

Press and hold 'stop' 'maintenance' and 'power'
buttons for about 10 seconds.

A message will appear on the screen.
power off and back on for reset.

Try the following steps to clear any jam -

1. Clear any loose paper from the paper tray. This will help you locate the jam. You will find it either in front, near the paper tray, or in the rear.
2. To clear a paper jam near the paper tray, grip the paper and pull it firmly but gently from the printer. If you find a stack of papers jammed, grab from the middle of the stack and pull.
3. For a rear jam, remove the back of the printer. When you find a free edge on the paper, grip it firmly and pull it out. 
4. Replace the back cover. Press the "Resume" button or turn off the printer, and then turn it back on. Your settings should reset. 
5. Try printing another document.

Good Luck!!

Thanks

Paper jam

It jams due to the rollers. Please change the rollers and it should be good. also pay attention to the way the paper is being seated in the drawer.

Canon mx700 printer

Using a q-tip clean the rollers with rubbing alcohol.
Try different paper. The fact that it grabs more than one page means the paper or rollers are dirty.

Is it possible that you have the default tray set as "tray 1" (the one on top) and the paper is actually in tray 2 (the one on the bottom?)

If so, you should be able to press the "check" button & the printer will accept the paper in the bottom tray.
