Paper Jam

Issue:

The printer stops printing midway and flashes a “paper jam” warning.

Problem Cause:

Paper may be stuck inside due to:

  • Misaligned sheets in the tray
  • Overloaded paper tray
  • Dust or debris inside rollers
  • Using old, curled, or damp paper

Solutions:

  • Turn off the printer and unplug it.
  • Open all accessible panels (input, output, back door) and gently remove any jammed sheets.
  • Remove small paper scraps left inside.
  • Reload fresh paper, making sure:
    • Sheets are neatly aligned
    • You’re not exceeding the tray capacity
    • You’re using clean, dry, and suitable paper
  • Consider cleaning the paper feed rollers if jams occur often.
