how can i fix a serious paper jam?
216401
I had a semi-serious jam and was able to slowly pull out the jam. I was going to use pliers as well if needed. I also shut off all electricity to stay safe. I have those oil sheets that they sell to lubricate the shredder and used that and it was fine.

I had one very serious jam and I made sure that the shredder was turned off and unplugged from the surge protector and then used several pliers in different lengths and pulled the paper from it. After I cleared the jam I put some performance oil on a single sheet of paper and ran it through and it worked okay.

The only thing I can think is to air out the pages or fan them so they don't stick, it also could be the type of paper you are trying to scan, once in a great while this does happen to me but never more than 2 pages at one time on a pile of 15 pages, also make sure the top of the scanner is locked in place tightly sorry I don't have any better ideas...

sorry you're having that problem. I'm not. first make sure you have the right staples. I had to buy them from Munix cause any other staples did not work and min jammed, too. Hope this helps. It's a wonderful stapler if you use it right and a very good price. otherwise Perhaps you need to send it back.

Add paper and pus blinking light. Or you may have a piece of paper stuck in paper feed area.

The machine jammed frequently, over heated frequently. I can't tell you we found an effective way to avoid jamming, maybe other than 1 page at a time. You notice I used past tense. We no longer use it.

I've had this problem, too, and the only thing that works is to use an edge like the blunt end of a metal nail file or something similar to scrape it off. Or you can wet the item and see if the paper dissolves.

I had to upgrade to the next closest model when my old printer died, but this one is very similar. If you lift the lid, there should be a black handle on the large plastic piece that hold down the paper near the back. lift that, and release the paper that is jammed. Then make sure to clearly press the black piece in place again, and it should work fine. Your manual should clear up any questions as well. Good luck!!

If your printer will not picking up the paper to print, try a cue tip dipped in alcohol and clean the roller or rollers on the printer. Fan the paper out to keep it from sticking to each other in the tray. I hope this will help you.

Paper will not go straight by itself. We have to guide its movement. Otherwise paper will get jammed easily.

I just ordered one of these (for $87 from Geeks) - a refurb. I come from a copier repair background and would offer some suggestions concerning its jamming issues. As mentioned above - clean the feed roller with alcohol. Make sure you thourghly fan the paper before loading. If you still have jamming - turn the stack of paper over. Paper DOES have different "grain" front to back and one side will allow a better "grip" then the other. I wouldn't believe this if it weren't for my background. It sounds like this machine is more picky than many with it's feed system - but so are some copiers - and there ARE work-arounds. So I'll take my chances with it, and post a review later...

Without standing in front of the printer it would be impossible to give you a complete answer. I would start by turning off the "form tear off" option. There is a small chance that will fix your problem.

I didn't have this problem but if you do, you may try to stick a piece of adhesive tape in the corner on the back to pull the paper?

You should take paper sticking side of toner off or cut it first. I fixed same problem by doing this.

I'm sorry I wish that I could help. Mine did the same thing after about 20 pages of lamination over the past 6 months. I ended up throwing mine away and now I have a whole bunch of extra laminating sheets. Eventually I'll replace the machine. I'm usually a huge fan of Amazon but I will certainly not get another Amazon laminating machine. I hope you are able to salvage your machine.

Sounds like you need to have a technician check it out. I have had this printer for a little over 2 years of daily office use and have never had a problem with jams unless I try to stuff too much paper in the bottom tray.

yeah, sadly it happens to me to often, more than 50% of the time the paper won't load all the way into the printer, thus the printer recognize it as paper-jam, and it has been two months since i've bought it, so guess there is no returning this purchase, lexmark are great at software problem solving for windows7, but i doubt they will replace it since this is not a manufacturing error, but bad-design PERIOD

+1 for scrubbing the 3 pick-up rollers with WD40 and a coarse, lint-free cotton cloth. I got to the point that every other sheet would say "paper jam tray 1", and the paper was either not pulled out of the tray, or maybe lifted just a tiny bit. I cleaned up all of the dust I could find, and then cleaned the rollers with a damp cloth like Brother suggested, but no change. Here's exactly what I did to fix it: * I moistened the cloth with WD40 - (don't spray inside printer or you'll get drips) * I scrubbed sideways on all three rollers (one grey, 2 black) * feed 1/4 turn, then scrub again, all the way around. * Repeat this cycle a second time, just for good measure. * Verified no greasy, oil slick left on any of the rollers * I scrubbed over the tray pick-up pad. * Reinstalled paper tray and everything is printing like normal
