TRY this if this then try to reset the printer factory defaults :

1. Turn the printer off and open the access cover.
2. Look for any obstructions in the paper path and remove them if necessary. (It is possible to move the carrier assembly with the power off.)
3. Turn the printer on, load some paper, and press the Form Feed button. (On the X83, press the Select button.)
4. Watch the paper as it feeds through and try to determine where the jam is occurring.
5. Check to see if all the rollers are turning.

If all the rollers are turning, there may be something in the feed path that you can't see. Go to step 6.
If not, there is probably a feed motor or a gear problem and the printer may require service.
6. If the paper is jamming under the carrier assembly, you may be able to fix it using the manual feed slot.
7. Turn the printer off.
8. Take a #10 envelope and feed it through the left side of the manual feed slot until it comes right through the printer to the back of the exit rollers.
9. Move it up and down first, and then slowly move it over to the right side. If something is stuck under the black guide plate, this may work it loose.

Ir1600. What causes 'rec paper jam' when there is no paper jammed?

A tiny piece of torn paper covering the sensor. Always pull the machine out and open all the doors. Shine a flashlight into all the corners. Also remove the toner cartridge and all the paper trays.

Getstetner dsm651 says jam but there's no jam

Have a look inside and see if there are any scraps of paper in the paper path. The sensor could be seeing a portion of paper. Next, open all the doors up and take out the toner and put it back in to make the machine reset.

Prompt says, "REC. Paper jam slide platen left". We have done as instructed and looked for paper jams with every opening. We have also rebooted the copier but turning off, then on and also by unplugging...

Hi With this copier I find the paper jam is always in the fuser area. Its very hard to get to. You need a a flash light and tweezers to get it. You need to look where the paper comes out. Thank you, Steven 805-520-3003

My fax machine keeps saying there is a paper jam.

look on the bottom of your drum unit. there is a sensor opening that might have a tiny piece of paper in it, not allowing the sensor flag to reset. if thats not it, closely inspect behind rear door.

Cannot find paper jam ...

We have a D780, which is probably very similar to your unit. Have you removed your toner cartridge and inspected to see if any paper is in the paper path? 95% of the time that is where the paper jam is.

Rec . paper jam

This means your rollers are either dirty or damaged. The same thing happened to my Lexmark printer and they told me to clean the rollers. Nothing happened it still was messed up so they just sent me a new one...
