False paper jam message

SOURCE: 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.

This could also happen due to the censors.
Try these steps.

1. Take all the papers out from input tray.
2. Open the cart door & take the cart out,and let the door be open.
3. Turn Off the printer.
4. Clean the metal contacts on the cart.
5. Reinsert the papers & the cart.
6. Turn the printer on.

This could resolve the issue.
All the Best!!!!!!
