1, To clear the paper jam issue at the rear of the printer, perform the printer reset to resolve the issue in a simple way.
2, To reset the printer, remove the papers from the input tray while the printer is turned on. Unplug your printer's power cord from the rear of the printer.
3, Now open the cartridge access door and check if the carriage can move freely along the paper width guide. Look for the jammed paper and gently pull it out. If some paper bits are found inside the printer parts, try to remove them too.
4, You can now print a test page by pressing and holding the Cancel button along with the Resume button. The printer would have got reset, and the test print would have resulted well.
5, Even after resetting if the paper jam issue did not get resolved, better service the printer in the nearest HP retail stores.

SOURCE: HP 6940 will not print

Turn the printer off
Open the back door and
gently turn the paper roller upward until it clicks. Make sure the door is securely closed. Wait a few more minutes then turn the print back on. I hope this helps.

SOURCE: Error message: Open door, clear carriage jam and then press enter

Our support works this way. You will receive an email notifying you that there has been a reply to your post, such as this. You read the post, enter your comments in the Comment Text Area Below and you'll get another email when there is another reply.

I will ask you to do one thing, await your response and then give you further instructions.

First of all, with the printer on, and leaving it on, open the cover to the print carriage area. Now, reach over to the right under the cover of the printer and pull the ink carriage to the center.

You will want to use a flashlight to examine the area around the carriage bar for an obstruction. Common items are pencils, pens, paper clips. Additionally, the ink cartridges themselves may not be firmly locked down in place. You may notice this when you reach under and over to grab a hold of them and drag them over to the center.

Should you be able to get this carriage over to the center, check that the cartridges are lock down and nothing is lying in their path on the far right hand side. A flashlight will help you.

SOURCE: Carriage Paper Jam in Photosmart hp c6180 all-in-one-printer

Here's what you do. Take a look at the photo below.
Open the cover of the printer, where the ink cartridges are located. Behind the ink cartridges is the carriage, which is a box that moves side-to-side on a pair of rails. It's the thing that sprays the ink onto the paper.

You have to reach in with your hand and slide this thing to the center. Then, look to the very sides, left and right, for any bits of paper. If you look at the second picture, you can see my finger pointing to a small bit of paper that tore of and got jammed into the side. See the little crumpled bit of paper? It's preventing the carriage from sliding all the way to the right. You could have little bits on the right or left side. I had to reach in with needle-nose pliers to grab the paper bits out, but maybe your fingers are small enough.

Once the little bits of paper were out, I was back in business. Good luck!

SOURCE: paper jam

try this....
try this, its probably a small part of jammed paper or then theres a problem with the pickup, try cleaning it.

  1. Turn off the printer.
  2. Remove any paper trays. Inspect them for wrinkled or damaged paper.
  3. Also open the back cover of the printer if this model has one.
  4. Open any other doors that give access to the printer's paper path and to the toner or ink cartridge.
  5. If necessary, remove the toner or ink cartridge. Place it away from light/ sun light to avoid damaging it.
  6. If you find a piece of jammed paper, remove it by holding it with both hands and pulling firmly. The goal is to keep the paper from tearing. If several pieces are jammed together, try pulling out the middle piece first to loosen the jam.
  7. If the paper does tear, try rotating the roller gears manually to free the paper. Don't force anything, though. Do this step especially if the jam message comes up repeatedly without any obvious paper jam, there may be a small tear of paper inside.
  8. Ones the printer is free of paper Replace the toner or ink cartridge and paper trays, close any doors you opened and turn the printer back on.
  9. If the printer paper jam message still appears, then there is still some paper in the printer. Reinspect the paper path.
  10. see alternative if the problem is still not solved.



alternative :
Load a piece of thick paper, for example photo paper and press the resume button (may be diffrent button on diffrent models) a few times to the printer picks up the paper and puts it through the machine.

My psc 1100 series paper jam. How i can fix

Hi


You need to switch off and unplug the printer. Now open the rear access door by pressing in on the left side of the access door and then pulling it toward you. Now check for any paper jams. From the rear access door opening, gently pull any jammed paper out.

Note-- All paper jams must be removed by pulling the paper out the back of the all-in-one using the rear access door. Pulling the paper out the front of the all-in-one rotates the paper feed rollers in the wrong direction and can lead to additional problems.

Reattach the rear access door by inserting the two pins on the right of the door into the holes for them, and then pressing in gently but firmly on the left side.

Says Paper Jam But No Paper In It

Paper jams can be real or false. The unit may report a paper jam when there is not any jammed paper, however, the solution to a real paper jam or a false paper jam is the same.

  9. Reconnect the power cord to the unit and turn the unit on. If a carriage stall occurs after clearing the paper jam, resolve the carriage stall.
Preventing paper jams The following information will help prevent paper jams from occurring:
  • When loading paper in to the paper tray, push it in until it meets first resistance. Do not continue pushing the paper in. If the paper is pushed too far in, more than one page is picked and paper jams result. This is the most common cause of paper jams with the HP Officejet 410 series.
  • Never use paper that is wrinkled or damaged in any way.
  • If you are having problems using paper that has already been printed on once, replace it with fresh paper.
  • Remove and then reinstall the rear access door. Verify that the access door is fully locked in place. The paper can skew if the rear access door isn't locked.
  • Every six months - one year, clean the paper feed rollers with a rag slightly dampened with clean water. Over time the paper feed rollers accumulate dust and do not function as well as they once did.
  • When printing envelopes, tuck the flap into the envelope and crease the folds before printing.

My paper keeps jamming

Clearing paper jams Paper jams can occur for a variety of reasons but are usually paper related. Follow the steps below to clear the paper jam:
  1. Turn off the all-in-one and unplug the power cord. With the power off, the paper feed rollers will turn.
  2. Open the rear access door of the all-in-one by pressing in on the left side of the access door and then pulling it toward you. NOTE: All paper jams must be removed by pulling the paper out the back of the all-in-one using the rear access door. Pulling the paper out the front of the all-in-one rotates the paper feed rollers in the wrong direction and can lead to additional problems. Figure 1: Rear access door c00101861.jpg Inspect the pressure rollers on the rear access door and verify that they are clean and turn freely. Clean the rollers if needed with a soft towel lightly moistened with water. If the rollers do not turn freely, replace the rear access door.
    • If under warranty, contact HP to obtain a replacement part.
    • Click How to buy on this page to order replacement parts.
  3. From the rear access door opening, gently pull the jammed paper free.
  4. Remove the remaining paper from the paper supply tray. Discard any paper that is damaged or crumpled and then re-stack and reload the paper into the paper supply tray. Do not continue to push the paper in after some resistance is felt. If the paper is pushed in too far, more than one page will feed into the all-in-one at a time.
  5. Reattach the rear access door by inserting the two pins on the right of the door into the holes for them (as shown in Figure 3 below) and then pressing in gently but firmly on the left side. Figure 2: Inserting the rear access door guide pins into the holes c00099183.bmp
