Please follow these steps :
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.
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.

I face a paper jam a lot, what is the right steps to release it? I keep getting a paper jam message. I have opened up the case and inspected; removed the cartridge and inspected; no paper/paper jam found....

Turn printer upside down (yes), and check that there is no small paper or foreign objects inside the printer, ensure all door are closed, unplug printer power cable for 2 minutes to reset.

Paper is constantly jamming on right hand side-as you face printer-it feeds in unevenly as soon as I start to print.

Remove all print paper from the paper tray. check if there are any dust particles or any other substances that might be jamming the paper. That is the only fix.

WILL FEED PLAIN WHITE PAPER BUT WILL NOT FEED PHOTO PAPER

Follow the steps:
•1
Turn on the printer and press the Paper Feed switch until the Auto Sheet Feeder indicator light turns on.
•2
Pull up on the paper sheet feeder on the top and back of the printer and slide out the paper support.
•3
Take a stack of no more than 10 pieces of photo paper and flatten the corners, if they are curled. Curled corners may cause jams within the printer.
•4
Place the paper in the paper sheet feeder with the printable side of the paper facing up. The printable side of photo paper is the shiny or whiter side of the paper.
•5
Print your documents as needed.

Paper Cassette :

•1
Switch on the printer and press the Paper Feed switch until the Cassette indicator light turns on.
•2
Pull on the cassette on the bottom of the printer to slide it out of the printer.
•3
Flatten the corners of a stack of no more than 10 sheets of photo paper if the corners are curled. The paper may become jammed in the printer if the corners are curled.
•4
Place the stack of paper in the cassette so the paper is touching the right side and the printing side of the paper is facing down. Adjust the plastic paper guides so they touch the paper. The paper stack guides help facilitate the paper moving into the printer.
•5
Slide the cassette back into the bottom of the printer. The printer is ready for printing.

Paper Jams if I use a high gloss Laser printer paper. Looks like an accordian before the fuser.

Good day Sir, If you are using high gloss laser printer paper I suggest load up to 25 sheets.
  • make sure the glossy or the printable side of paper faces you.
  • the paper is loaded against the right side of the paper support.
  • the paper guide rests against the left edge of the paper.
Note: photos require more drying time. Remove each photo as its exits, and allow it to dry to avoid smudging.

have a nice day, hope this will help you.

Paper jam/no paper fed

make sure the photo paper is in glossy side face down,
set the paper type to photo.

If it keeps jamming it's because the paper feed is probably dirty and not taking the paper properly

The paper will not feed correctly. The Right side is getting jam

First jam a paper on purpose then you will know where the jam is . and you will also know where to find the paper which is under the white cylinder.

Paper feeds skewed to one side. Ink smears, paper twisted and jams.

My ip4300 was pulling the paper in toward the right and then it would crnkle the paper and jam. I tried all the cleaning techniques I could find suggested on the web. I called my grandson, who used to work on printers, and he suggested using sandpaper to roughen up the feed rollers (two on the right side when facing the printer.. a large and a small). So, I first used some #100 sandpaper to roughen the rollers, but that did not fix the problem. I then used some #60 sandpaper, then used a damp cloth to clean the rollers after roughing them up and then dried them with a dry rag. My printer now works beautifully! If nothing else works, you may want to try this—it's what my grandson said they did at the shop he worked at.

Paper Jam issue

Turn the printer off and open the access cover.
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.)
Turn the printer on, load some paper, and press the Form Feed button. (On the X83, press the Select button.)
Watch the paper as it feeds through and try to determine where the jam is occurring.
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.

If the paper is jamming under the carrier assembly, you may be able to fix it using the manual feed slot.
Turn the printer off.
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.
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.
