Broken Paper Guide

the paper lifting rack plastic tabs one of them is broken and the metal that is showing is catching on the guide so the lifting rack is not lowering into place, turn the printer around, remove the door that hides the back of the paper tray, grab the paper size tab and pull it out as far as you can, now get a flash light and either a ruller or a long screw driver and push the lifting rack down into the tray flat and then push the tray out of the printer. once this is done you can examine the broken tab on the lifting rack and call hp for a part number, get a whole baggie of the pieces because they break all the time!!! you can use some fabric medical tape to make a quick and temporary repair. but it will ware out and you will have to do it again. good luck.

Howdy, hwile I don't have the whole picture yet, you can likely remove the broken off piece with an inside wrench kit; it is a cam wrench that fits inside the pipe and grips the inner wall when turned. Now, if you tell us what sort of intake and the size and type of pipe you have, we can help you with the rest of your issue, too.

Could be screwed on from inside the door and might have to remove inner door panel for access. OR there may be some screws on the outside - if nada maybe the cover can be carefully pried off to expose the screws. If you google this I am sure you will find something re how to. Just be careful since you do not want to damage the paint job on door.

If the inner basket has broken off on one of the three braces on the back side where it is welded to the main spindle shaft that goes through the outer shell and bearing, you will need to replace the spindle and probably the inner basket. Some come together, some can be bought seperately and bolted. Not sure which yours is. Most people go out and replace unit rather than attempt ths repair because of cost if done by a appliance business. It is a complete tear down, and part or parts are expensive.

If you grab the inner basket and try to move it side to side, it should be solid.. The whole tub assembly can move while your doing this, but the inner basket should be solid in the back bearing
Just one idea..

To access the door handle mounting screws on MOST microwave ovens, you have to remove the inner door panel that goes around the perimeter of the glass. You can use a small screwdriver to carefully pry the plastic up and work your way slowly around the perimiter of the glass. Most microwave ovens also have grooves in the panel that you can insert the screwdriver into. Use care not to pry against the glass. The glass is tempered and also has an RF shield that prevents harmful microwaves from potentially harming the consumer. If you break the glass, you will need to purchase a new door.

The door handle screws are located behind the inner panel. Simply remove the broken handle and install the new one. Re-insert the inner door panel carefully and gradually work your way around the perimeter of the door glass and make sure it snaps back into place.

Hi hotpress:
Try these steps.
Print transfer jams
1. If a piece of paper is trapped in the paper preheater, try pushing out the paper by
inserting a stiff piece of cardstock into the paper preheater.
2. Using diagnostics, test the paper preheater sensors. If the test fails, replace the
paper/drum heater assembly.
3. Check to see if the upper feed roller drive belt is broken or slipped off of its pulleys. In
such a case, the upper feed roller does not rotate when the lower feed roller rotates.
4. Check that the feed rollers rotate smoothly and that the front cover is fully closed and
seated.
5. Check the paper-eject path for obstructions. Ensure no small pieces of paper are
trapped around the stripper fingers or rapid release guide.
6. Ensure that the transfix roller rotates during the transfix process. See SF168 and
SB467.
7. Test the sensors in the paper path. Look for damaged or non-operating sensor flags.
8. Check the transfix solenoid and its cam. Ensure they operate correctly and are properly
lubricated. If lubrication is needed, apply a dab of grease to the contact point between
the cam and the latch and the cam and the cam-advanced spring. Refer to
"Lubrication" on page 6-177.
9. A stripper finger, or rapid release guide, jam can occur because of broken teeth on the
small section of the back-side of the compound gear. The root cause of this may be also
be due to a lack of transfix cam grease. If you find broken teeth on the compound gear,
check for proper lubrication of the transfix cam. Be careful to ensure that no grease
touches the Y-axis belts. If the belts get contaminated with grease they must be
replaced. wipe off any excess grease to prevent it from dripping onto the belts.

Hope this helps

Bernie,

TURN OFF POWER TO UNIT. Open door, remove all torq screws from door panel, separate inner and outer door panel. latch assy is able to be removed, place black wire connector and white white connector back respectively, place inner part of door back and replace the torq screws. Then turn power back on for unit.

is the piece of paper removed? or there parts of the paper w/c was nt removed? if the whole paper was removed already, try to use this steps..step 1. remove the power cord of the printer. step 2. press the power on/off of the printer while plugging the power cord. and wait for 10 seconds before releasing the on/off button..then put on your printer. but if some pieces of broken paper inside the printer try to clear it first then try printing.

You'll have to take the whole ignition piece out in order to remove the broken key. I apparently jammed a bunch paper clips in my parents van when i was a kid and they had to take it to some place to get the whole thing removed.
