Jam in output bin

I printed a 65 pg doc, and it piled up in the output bin, jamming 2 pages: one outside in the output bin and one inside feeding into the output bin. I carefully removed both. Following instructions, I reset the Select button as instructed, but I keep on getting the message: "Jam in output bin."

I powered down. I reset the fuser lever inside. I took out the cartridges to see if anything was jammed behind them. I can't finsd any paper jammed any place, and can't get rid of the error message. I tried to print a test copy, and the printer send an error message to my laptop.
I followed all instructions on te HP Tech Support page---with no luck.

HP no longer supports this printer as it's just over tha warranty. Their suggestion was to turn it in and buy another. Grrrr!

    Similiar problem: tried to print labels, and the label sheet wrapped around the fuser. Dismantled the fuser and removed labels, and now I still get the "jam in output bin" (- also there's a 41.3000 in the error log.) AND to top it all off, the color registration is out of kilter. Almost ready to go back to my old trusty QMS printer... Did I get a sensor out of place, or ??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Make absolutely sure there actually is no paper jammed in there. 
I came to this page with the same warning, convinced I had a software glitch. Turned out there was a page accordion-folded down to the size of a pencil lead. I didn't know paper could be folded that small. 
Of course, everyone here may be a lot brighter than I am, in which case sorry to waste your time. But for me, the obvious first fix needed to be thoroughly explored before cursing HP and their machine.

Jam in top 3015d

Sir/Madam

Occasionally, media becomes jammed during a print job. An error in the software program and a jam message on the printer control panel display indicate a media jam. To prevent a jam, see the following instructions:
  • Only print on media that meets HP specifications.
  • Only print on media that is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged.
  • Make sure that the printer is clean.
  • Make sure that the input trays are loaded properly and are not too full. See the start guide for more information about loading input trays.
When adding new media, always remove all of the media from the input tray and straighten the stack of new media. This helps prevent multiple sheets of media from feeding through the printer at one time, which reduces media jams

Clearing a media jam


CAUTION: Media jams might result in loose toner on the page. Use cold water to wash toner off of clothes, as hot water will permanently set the toner into fabric. To remove toner from hands, wash hands in cold water.
CAUTION: Do not use a sharp object, such as a pencil or scissors, to remove jammed media.
NOTE: When clearing jams, including jams in the output bin, always push the print-cartridge-door release to open the top cover, and remove the print cartridge. Keep the top cover open and the cartridge out until the jam has been cleared. Opening the top cover and removing the print cartridge relieves tension on the printer rollers, which makes removing jammed pages easier.


Push the print-cartridge-door release and open the top cover.
Figure 1: Pushing release and opening top cover

3f0c0681-aab8-41b1-8ccc-edbc8d10b083.gif

Grasp the handle of the print cartridge and remove it. Set it aside.
Figure 2: Removing print cartridge


1135f64a-e54d-412a-a38c-2d53092ee8b0.gif

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the print cartridge, do not expose it to light any longer than necessary. Place the print cartridge in a paper bag or other opaque container until it can be placed back in the printer.

With both hands, grasp the side of the media that is most visible (this includes the middle), and carefully pull it free from the device.
Figure 3: Jammed media most visible


38cea87e-25d6-4cfb-86b2-bbc3d933d279.gif

When the jammed media is removed from this area, replace the print cartridge.
Figure 4: Replacing printer cartridge

Press the supporting springs, and close the top cover.
Open the media input tray and remove any media from the tray.

After clearing the media jam, it may be necessary to shut down the printer, and then turn it on again.

NOTE: To add new media, remove all of the media from the input tray, straighten the stack of media after adding the new media, and then place the stack in the tray.
Clearing other media jams
CAUTION: Do not use a sharp object, such as a pencil or scissors, to remove jammed media.
If the media has jammed where it exits the printer, grasp the leading edge of the media and pull the media out through the output bin.
Figure 8: Removing jammed media from output bin


b9b1737a-16cc-4bd2-b9a7-77bad78ef641.gif

NOTE: If the printer is shut off before clearing the media jam, turn it on again, and then restart the printing or copying job.
Tips to avoid media jams
Make sure the automatic document feeder (ADF) media lever is in the correct position for the media being used. Slide it to the single-sheet setting (to the right) when scanning on thick media. Slide it to the multiple-sheet setting (to the left) when scanning on regular media.
Make sure that the input tray is not overfilled. The input tray capacity varies depending on the type of print media that is used.
Check that the input tray is securely in place.
Do not add print media into the input tray while the printer is printing.
Use only HP-recommended media types.
Do not let print media stack up in the output bin. The print media type and the amount of toner used affect the output bin capacity.
Check the power connection. Make sure that the power cord is firmly connected to both the device and the power supply box. Plug the power cord into a grounded AC power outlet.
Media jams occur in the automatic document feeder (ADF)

Occasionally, media becomes jammed during a copy, scan, or fax job.

A software error message indicates a media jam, and the Doc feeder jam Clear, Reload message appears on the printer control panel display to indicate a jam.
  • The ADF input tray is loaded incorrectly or is too full.
  • The media does not meet HP specifications.
Typical automatic document feeder (ADF) jam locations Input tray areas: If the page is sticking out of the input tray, try to remove it gently from the input tray without tearing the page.
Figure 9: Removing jammed media from input tray

Output paths: If the page is sticking out of the output bin, try to remove it gently without tearing the page.

  • Intermediate location: If the page is sticking out of the input tray and into the output area, see "To clear a media jam from the automatic document feeder (ADF)" below for instructions.

Automatic document feeder (ADF) media lever If a thick media is being used, slide the media lever to the single-sheet setting (to the right). Load a single sheet of media into the ADF.
When the copying, scanning, or faxing jobs are complete, slide the ADF media lever back to the multiple-sheet setting (to the left).
Clearing a media jam from the automatic document feeder (ADF)
  1. Using both hands, pull the printer control panel door toward you.
    Figure 11: Opening printer control panel door.

  1. Remove any jammed media. Figure 12: Removing media

NOTE: Use only your hands to remove jammed media. Using other objects can damage internal parts.
Make sure that all of the pieces of media are removed, and then close the printer control panel door.

Clearing jams

CAUTION Do not use sharp objects, such as tweezers or needle nose pliers, to remove jams.
Damage caused by sharp objects will not be covered by the warranty.

CAUTION Always pull jammed media in the direction it would travel through the paper path.
Do not pull jammed media against the direction of travel through the paper path to avoid damage
to the printer.

To prevent damage to the printer when clearing jams, including jams in the output bin, always open the
print-cartridge door and remove the print cartridge. Keep the door open and the cartridge out until the
jam has been cleared. Opening the print-cartridge door and removing the print cartridge relieves tension
on the printer rollers, which prevents damage to the printer and makes the removal of jammed pages
easier.

Occasionally, media becomes jammed during a print job. You are notified of a media jam by an error
from the software and the printer control panel lights. See Control-panel lights (HP LaserJet 1010 series
printers) on page 102 or Control-panel lights (HP LaserJet 1020 printer) on page 106.

The following are some of the causes of media jams:

?

The input trays are loaded improperly or are too full. See Loading media on page 25.

NOTE When you add new media, always remove all of the media from the input tray and
straighten the stack of new media. This helps prevent multiple sheets of media from feeding
through the printer at one time, reducing media jams.

The media does not meet HP specifications. See Media specifications on page 21.

Paper feeds about half way and then stops. All of the indicator lights come on.

If you get a paper jam, the Paper Jam indicator light promptsyou to clear the paper path. If the paper has just started to feed from thepaper feeder when the jam occurs, pull the paper straight up out of the paper feeder. Open and close the printer cover toresume printing. If the paper jam occurs inside the printer, remove the paper from the output bin. Turn the printeroff, then on. If this doesn't clear the jam, open the printer cover.Remove the print cartridge and cover it.For additional assistance, please contactLexmark Technical Support

Jam in Output Bin Message

The output Bin message comes from the sensor that reads when there are to many pages printed and they are sitting on the top BIN. Check the BIN sensor or arm and make sure that it is reading. Most of the time the sensor has a broken arm the the sensor reads to let it know when the BIN is full. You might want make sure that you reconnected the sensor and you have take the top cover off to replace the fuser.

HP LJ P3005 13.31.00 ERROR

Hi,
As i can understand whenever you try to print with rear door closed printed page should come on top from top output roller however paper gets jammed.
Solution:
Try to print a page using rear door open and it should come out from the rear drop down tray it printed page comes out successfully with rear flap open than paper gets jammed at top due to faulty top output roller.
However if the paper gets jammed at fuser with rear door closed than it is issue with fuser in that case you need to get fuser replaced at the same time replace 20 tooth gear next to fuser.

Thanks and Regards

Hp psc 1315 paper jam

Hi,



. Switch off the printer and disconnect the power supply. Allow any residual charge inside the all-in-one printer to dissipate before putting your hands or any metal tools inside the chassis.

2.
Pin down the exact location of the jam. The 3 hot spots for a jam are before a sheet completely leaves the paper tray, anywhere between the feed tray and print carriage or between the print carriage and output tray.

3.
Take off the front paper tray if the sheet jammed while still in the front area of the printer. If here, you should be able to see most of the paper.

4.
Pull the sheet with both hands and steady pressure. Do not tug as you might rip the paper, leaving a piece deeper inside the machine.

5.
Open the back panel to reach paper jammed between the feed-tray area and print carriage. Carefully remove the jammed paper.

6.
Use the carriage access door to get at a jam further inside the printer. You may need to remove the print carriage to get to the jam.

7.
Replace all parts and return any access panels to their closed and locked positions. Plug your printer back in and flip the power switch.
