Paper keeps jamming on Samsung CLX-3160 FN. How do I prevent this from happening?

Remove the fusing unit and clean the upper and lower fuser roller.

I've got the same problem but with envelopes. Every time I want to print envelopes the printer jams. It happens at least every 3rd or 4th envelope? Any suggestions? I wonder if I have the tray setup properly?

Hi,

it is most likely that the fuser actuater arm is not sitting back to the sensor properly. open the back door you will be able to see the fuser, on your right hand side you should be able to see a fliper that sit in between a sensor. try to adjust the fliper flag and see if it works.

if it still continue to give you the same error. try remove the fuser four screw 2 side on each. adjust the flag again and fix it back. it should work and double check for any lose small pices of paper jam in the printer.

Open the back door, and inside at the top above the fuser there is a cover that will lift up. In front of the cover will be a spike.

Life the cover, and let the spike (a paper sensor) go into place under the cover and replace the cover and close the door, and it should work.

The spike is lifted as paper passes through.

If you ever lifted the spike while the cover was open and then closed the cover, the spike can't get back so is always lifted and it thinks there is always paper

Just pull the ink toner and check there is not any paper jam also check in back side of printer for paper jam.
Refix toner cartrdge in its position.
Tehn check.

When this happened, I took the tank out and shook it out into a garbage can (do this outside and be very careful not to breathe the dust). I then took a shop vac and held the hose at the opening while blowing compressed air into the tank. Wiggle the air nozzle around and you'll get out 99% of the toner. Pay extra attention to the sensor optics (plastic bulges on the sides of the tank).These need to be clean since the printer knows when the tank is full because the toner blocks light shining from one side of the tank to the other

Reinstall the tank and be sure it is fully inserted. If they printer is still on, turn it OFF. Close the front door of the machine and turn it back on.

Continue printing.

Usually the start button will connect, but I have included the link to where you can down load the manual.


Hope this helps.

There should be a lock icon either on the side of your scanner or underneath the bed look for it and make sure its unlocked.

You can buy toner cartridges to this machine and fix the problem yourselves. Go to any office supply store and they will have toner cartridges for the Samsung clx 3160. The display will flash the name fo the cartridge color that needs to be replaced. Just open the front door of the machine, pull out the empty cartridges and pop in the new ones.

open your prtinter from backside then open fuser asenmbley.
u need to change your roller
but pls take support of technician.
