Background

Paper jam is a common problem in the process of using the printer. This article will introduce the possible causes of printer paper jam, and some simple and effective solutions to help you deal with this problem quickly.

1. Using unqualified paper or paper that exceeds the printer specifications

Solution: Check the paper quality and specifications

Choose the right paper: Use paper that meets the printer specifications, and ensure the paper quality is good.

Check the paper storage status: Make sure the paper is stored in a dry environment to avoid excessive humidity causing paper deformation.

2. The paper is not stacked neatly or the stacking position is incorrect

Solution: Replace the paper

Open the paper tray, and rearrange the paper to ensure that the paper is neat and has no bends or creases.

Adjust the paper guide in the paper tray to match the paper size.

3. There is dust or paper residue inside the printer

Solution: Clean the printer

Turn off the power, open the cover, and check whether there is dust or paper residue inside. Use compressed air to blow the inside of the printer to remove dust and paper residue.

4. Printer transport component is abnormal

Solution: Check the transport component

Check the transfer belt: Open the printer and check if the transfer belt is loose or blocked.

Check the rollers: Check the rollers on the printer transfer component to ensure that they are operating normally, and there are no foreign objects blocking them.

5. Improper paper guide adjustment

Solution: Adjust the paper guide

Check if the guide settings in the paper tray are correct.

Adjust the guide: If necessary, gently adjust the guide to ensure that it matches the paper size.

6. The printer driver is outdated or incompatible

Solution: Upgrade or update the printer driver

Check the driver version: Check the official website of the printer to confirm whether there is the latest driver version.

Update the driver: If there is a new version, download and install it in time to ensure that the printer driver is compatible with the operating system.

7. Too much or too little paper humidity may cause the paper to jam

Solution: Adjust the paper humidity

If you are in a high humidity environment, you can consider exposing the paper to air conditioning or a well-ventilated place to reduce the humidity. In a low humidity environment, you can consider placing a humidity box to increase the humidity.

8. Printer sensor failure

Solution: Check the sensor

Find the location of the sensor, and check if there are any paper scraps or other debris that affect the normal operation of the sensor.

Clean the sensor: Use a small brush or compressed air to clean the sensor to ensure its normal operation.
