Paper jam has been cleared but printer still displays paper jam error, I have switched printer off and waited 10 minutes and restarted it, but same message
First try this. Turn off the printer, remove all the cartridges, drum, open all the doors and remove all the trays. Now verify that there's no actual paper jam by exploring through the inside of the printer. You can use a blower to blow any dust or pieces of paper, etc.. from the printer. Now use the manual feed and put in thicker paper several times (push in and pull out). Again reinstall and reconnect every components and boot the printer. If the actual printer's paper sensor isn't broken or stuck or twisted, this will definitely clear the paper jam message on the printer.
If the problem persists, please download this small text file and follow the instructions (click here). Open the link, click "Download Now" button, wait for 20 seconds and again click "Download File Now" link and read the instructions and follow step by step.
Good luck.
Thanks for using FixYa.
Please see correctly there must be a piece of paper inside the printer that is why it always says paper jam
Hi
Error 5C10 means a paper jam or the printer has
encountered an internal error. And error 6A00 is
caused due a paper jam in the sheet feed unit or near the print head. You can also reset the printer to resolve
this issue. On the printer press and hold the ON/OFF button or unplug the power
cord. Wait for 10 seconds, press power button ON/OFF button again. If this
doesn't resolve the error code then unplug the printer for 10 minutes. Also,
inspect the back panel of the printer for any paper jams. To clear the paper
jams---
Turn off the printer and disconnect the power cord
and USB cable. Remove the jammed paper slowly using the following procedure.
Open the rear cover to check if the paper is jammed. Pull out the cassette and
check if the paper is jammed inside the cassette area. Stand the printer with
the rear side down, holding the document cover. Press the tabs together and
pull the green cover toward you. Check if the paper is jammed. (If you were not
doing Duplex printing, you do not have to follow this procedure.) Close the
green cover and place the printer back to a normal position. Reconnect the
power cord and power on the printer. Confirm the Alarm light is off. Load paper
back into the ASF or cassette. Press to clear the message and continue
printing. If you are printing from application software, follow the
instructions displayed on your computer. Hope this helps... Please post back if
you need more information.
