This particular 'paper jam' error on the Dell 3110/3115/3130 can often be caused by the paper not being picked up from the paper tray. The printer 'expects' to 'see' the paper pass various sensors during it's path through the printer. Each one has a 'time window'. If the paper is not seen to pass sensors at the correct timings, a paper jam is assumed.

Now - to cure the problem.

Just cleaning the (3 identical) pickup/separation/feed rollers in the paper tray area could be enough (they get a build-up of paper dust - can affect their effectiveness).

One of these rollers wears much quicker than the rest, and gets a pronounced flatspot. Replacement rollers are available via 'that' well known internet auction site.

this error indicate paper jam at registration unit, to clean:

1. remove paper tray
2. open fron cover
3. remove jammed paper gently without tearing it
4. check if there are any creased paper sheets in tray, remove if any
5. check paper path if free from debris and any leftover paper tears/fragments
6. close front cover
7. insert back paper tray

If this advice did not solve your problem, please do not hesitate to follow this thread and I will forward further procedure how to check sensor and path.

We have 3 of these in our school and they all do that. It jams or says it is jammed if you fill it up to the line. Our only solution is to fill it about 1/3. A pain.

Replace the pick rollers. If you're out of warranty it'd be mighty expensive to have Dell replace them, but, if you call them, they can get you access to a website (I can't remember the name...sorry) that has walk through tear-downs with pictures of each and every step. (Only do this if you're handy and have time)

Otherwise, replacement is the next option.

Typically Jams on this unit are from worn rollers. :)

Good luck.
