The roller on one side isn't picking the paper while the one on the other side is. Hwnce the uneven pull on the paper force the paper sideways and then jams.

This is usually caused by dust in the interior of the printer so try this:-

This is sort of scenario could be caused by dust inside the printer. Dust prevents the rollers from having a firm grip on the paper while picking paper. When one roller has a firm grip and rolls the paper well while the other doesn’t, jam/crumpling results. So I will suggest you get a long handle brush and try to reach as far inside the printer as possible and brush (from the back and front; if you have a blower please use it as well). This, if properly done should do it. Brush especially the rollers etc.

Hi, my cannon played up, paper was getting caught up on the right hand side and was not feeding through, warning kept telling me that there was no paper in the feeder!!, after trying numerous
( solutions ) tried my own, yippee, now working perfectly. I lifted the door to expose the ink cartridges, then slightly forced the cartridges over to the left, as they came to rest on the left side low and behold out popped a little beetle, that obviously was not noticable, but when it was forced out of it's prison exposed itself, Who would have thought !!!!!!

SOURCE: Paper wont feed into printer no paper jam



In the comments section Blumm suggests pushing a piece of cardboard (like the back of a legal pad) through the feeder as far as you can. Turn the printer off and then on again with it in there. Pull the cardboard out and check for any foreign objects that have been pushed through.
It worked for many people including myself - I got a piece of plastic and it works wonderfully again!

The printer keeps saying that there is a paper jam when there is not.. Also some times when it trys to print it will jam and the page will be torn down the middle.

Check the machine carefully, sometins a small sliver of paper is caught in a critical place in the printer and will give the paper jam message. If you paper is being torn it is most likely due to an uneven feed caused by feed wheels that are slipping on one side while the other side still feeds normally. Clean all the feed wheels in the paper path with a Q tip soaked in Isopropil Alcohol. Also make sure that your paper guides are set to the correct widths.

Paper feed problem

Hi


This is happening due to paper jam on the gear or roller of the paper feed mechanism. Check for any small bits of paper or sheet stuck. To check lift up the top plastic lid of the Canon printer. Check to see if a jammed sheet of paper is visible inside the printer. Remove the cartridges and check for any small paper bits stuck under the print head. Pull the paper out gently through the bottom end of the printer(if any). Close the top plastic lid. Power On the printer and check.

If it doesn't work then power off the printer, wait 10 seconds and power it back on. try once again to print. If it doesn't work then Open the Canon printer software. Click "Options" and then select the "Clean Print Heads" button.

It says out of paper "p" when there are lots of paper. And sometime it gets caught does not get fed. It's short of being jammed. If I open and close the paper tray a few time, it does the trick. what might...

Pull out the paper feed tray and (using a flashlight to look into the machine) clean the halfmoon feed rollers with rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball. The rollers are on the right side at the top where the paper tray fits in. If alcohol doesn't do the trick, try naptha (lighter fluid), if no success...replace the feed tires....just a thought. Let me know please...Tim
PS...if it doesn't feed paper far enough, it thinks there is no paper or a jam.

CONTINUING PAPER JAM. I OPEN DOOR, CLEAR THE JAM, AND PAPER STARTS TO FEED, THEN AGAIN ANOTHER PAPER JAM, AM I USING WRONG PAPER?

I know the problem, Its the Exit paper sensor! if u make a short circuit on the pin 2 and 3 of the CN2 when the paper reaches the sensor it wont jam. Chainging the sensor resolves the continous paper jam or try to clean it!

Paper jamming in rx585

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.
9. 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.

Check the rollers on your rear access door and see if they have some give in them and roll freely.

Paper will not feed correctly, keeps jamming up.

There IS something stuck in the feed path. If the paper starts to feed and then crinkles on the feed side, there is an object stopping the paper moving forward.

Lay the machine on it's back and take a sheet of very stiff card (A5 size approx) and push it through the paper path in reverse. So start where the paper would normally exit and push the card in. You may need to lift the pinch rollers just behind the print head by hand to aid the card through. Keep the card to the side that would normally crinkle but beware of the paper sensor flag. If you force it you could break it off.

Once you get past the pinch rollers behind the print head, push a little further then start to move the card in and out but along the length of the rollers. You should find that sufficient to push out whatever is in the path and having the machine on it's back will help it fall clear of the feed mechanism.

If it does not fall out using this method you will have to remove the covers and try to remove the ASF to get at the object.
