HP 3015 Laserjet paper jam error message

Our 3015 says, "printer jam clear paper path" however, there is no paper jam. Removing the toner, unplugging the machine, blowing out the dust have not helped.

    Does the machine attempt to pick the paper but fail? Or is it "stuck" on this paper jam message?

The paper is probably jammed between the fuser and the rear cover if you can't see it.

LOCATION OF PRINTER SENSOR

Jams

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.

?

Typical media jam locations

?

?

?

Print cartridge area: See Removing a jammed page on page 43.

Input tray area: If the page is still sticking out of the input tray, gently try to remove it from the input
tray without tearing the page. If you feel resistance, see Removing a jammed page on page 43.

Output path: If the page is sticking out of the output bin, see Removing a jammed page


NOTE There might be loose toner in the printer after a media jam. This toner clears up after
a few sheets are printed.

Removing a jammed page

Use the procedures in this section to remove a jam.

CAUTION Media jams might result in loose toner on the page. If you get any toner on your
clothes, wash them in cold water. Hot water will permanently set the toner into the fabric.


Partshere Troubleshooting

CAUTION 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.

To prevent damage to the print cartridge, minimize its exposure to direct light. Cover the print
cartridge with a sheet of paper.

NOTE The following illustrations show the HP LaserJet 1020 printer. The same procedure is
used to remove a jam in the HP LaserJet 1010 series printers.

1

Open the print cartridge door, and remove the print cartridge.

2

Grasp the middle edge of the side of the media that is most visible, and carefully pull it free from
the printer.

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 forcefully pull jammed media against the direction of travel through the paper path to
avoid damage to the printer.


3

When you have removed the jammed media, replace the print cartridge, and close the print cartridge
door.

After clearing a media jam, you might need to turn the printer off then on again.

NOTE When you add new media, remove all of the media from the input tray and straighten
the stack of new media.

I DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPEN MY PRINTER THE MODEK IS HP LASERJET 3015, THE ERROR MESSAGE WAS, PRINTER JAM CLEAR PAPAER PATH, PLEASE HELP ME TO FIX MY PROBLEM HOW TO SOLVE IT

The laserjet 3015 has a weird issue with the logic board. The paper jam is caused by some sensor issues with the logic board. Some issues may not be fixable. The 2009 series of this printer should be under warranty from HP to get a proper board. On the converse, you could try thicker paper; and set your paper thickness on the printer. If you can open the top cover and then close it; it will reset the sensor.

Paper jam in hp1300 cannot print

Remove the cartridge and paper tray to see where the paper jam is. If it is a whole page jammed inside of printer, before removing shut off printer and carefully remove paper if you end up tearing a piece this will make it harder to remove in pieces. After you have removed jammed paper reinstall toner cartridge and paper tray turn printer on and see if this clears the jam error message.

HOW DO I REMOVE JAMMED PAPER

Please turn the printer Off and then ON , till you see the error message of " Paper Jam" check all the flags on paper path, specially on Fuser Assembly.
.
Turn printer OFF, pull all trays out gently,
Disconnect cables to network or PC. turn printer ON,
check the message gets repeated - paper Jam,

Conclusion : There is some bit and piece of paper activating flags,
take all toners out gently and transfer Drum, look into printer, and
lift the paper path under the toners, push the door a little bit and unscrew the paper path and can see a piece of paper on right side..
Pull the paper out and screw bach. put every thing back in their original status.

Now the printer will work and there will not be any papers..
