How can I clear the paper jam in my printer?

Hello Janet,.

Let me ask you;

  • What is the brand and model of the printer?
  • Do you have the manual of the printer with you?

The following factors can cause paper jams:

1. paper loaded properly in the paper tray.

2 rolls of paper damaged or dirty.

3. torn, crumpled or wet paper loaded in the paper tray.

4. the access door back or double-sided (duplexer) printing accessory cannot be closed or is not locked in place.

5 paper was added to a stack already in the status bar.
The status bar contained more than one type of paper.

6. torn pieces of paper from a previous jam are stuck in the product.

7. the status bar is too full.

8. If printing on an envelope, the envelope edges are bent.

To avoid damage to the printer, see the documentation that came with the printer to see how to remove paper jams. Function of the printer, and where the problem is occurring, you might want to try one of the following options:

  • Go to the printer, the arrival of mail in the State or the display on the printer area that might tell you where the problem occurred, and then complete steps provided to remove the paper jam. If the printer does not display an information about the problem, check the information that came with the printer. If the printer is connected to a network domain, contact a system administrator or your company support desk.

  • Some printers offer a button that you can press on and hold, or paper feed another option that you can use to try to get the paper without damaging the printer.

  • You may need to open the printer casing and remove the paper that is the cause of the problem. Before do you, check the documentation that came with the printer to see if you put off the printer or take other measures to prevent injury to yourself or damage to the printer.

    You should also check if the printer box opening will result in the invalidity of the guarantee or any agreement to repair that you bought or supplied with the printer. For more information on the agreements, check the detail information and manufacturer supplied with the printer.

If the problem persists, use the printer to help manual or contact the manufacturer of the printer to help.

Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.
