Your manual feed sensor may be blocked remove the photoconductor and toner check to see if the sensor flags are freely moving , present and in there correct orientation. sometimes running a page sized piece of thin card board thru the paper path manually will free up any paper that has become stuck

This is a possible pick tire issue. Try to reverse the tires, turning it inside out. Fan the paper and adjust the tray guide. If that doesn't help, printer will probably require service. I suggest you contact Lexmark technical support or your authorized service provider. Thanks.

I have a paper jam at the back of my printer, where do i open it

Hopefully this will help you. Good luck !

Causes of jams

NOTE If you are experiencing jams in the duplex paper path, make sure that the duplex-tray

lever is set to the correct media size for your country/region. Open the duplex-paper-path door

and look at the embossed arrow on the lever. Make sure that it points to the media size for your

country/region. If the size needs to be changed, push the lever all the way in for duplex printing

on letter- and legal-size media, or pull it all the way out for duplex printing on A4-size media.

Occasionally, paper or other print media can become jammed during a print job. Some causes include

the following events:

? The print media that is being used does not meet HP specifications.

? The media is damaged or has objects attached to it, such as staples or paper clips.

? The environment in which the print media was stored is too humid or too dry.

? The input trays are loaded incorrectly or overfilled, or the media guides are not set correctly.

? Too many sheets have accumulated in an output area, or sheets are blocking an output area.

? Media is added to or removed from an input tray during a print job or an input tray is removed from

the all-in-one during a print job.

? The cartridge door is opened during a print job.

Paper jammed

Hi Good day!!!
Here are some steps to remove paper jam

1. Switch off the printer and disconnect the power supply. Allow any residual charge to fade away before putting your hands on the metal tools inside the chassis.

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

3. Take off the front paper tray. If the sheet jammed around here, you should be able to see most of the paper.

4. Pull on the sheet with both hands and steady pressure. Don't tug too quickly. You might rip the paper, leaving a chunk of it deeper in the machine.

5. Open the back panel to reach paper jammed between the feed tray area and the print carriage of the all-in-one printer. Carefully remove the jammed paper from the machine.

6. Use the carriage access door to get at a jam further inside. You may need to move the print carriage out of your way to get at the jam.

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

Im getting an error mp5100, after a paper jam that was removed and the error continues even though I turned the printer off several times

1. 1 Switch off the printer and disconnect the power supply. Allow any residual charge to fade away before putting your hands or metal tools inside the chassis.

2. Step 2 Pin down the exact location of the jam. The three hot spots for a jam are the paper tray, anywhere between the feed tray and the print carriage, or between the print carriage and the output tray.

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

4. Step 4 Pull on the sheet with both hands and steady pressure. Do not tug as you might rip the paper, leaving a chunk of it deeper in the machine.

    Where is the paper jam when the panel of our Lexmark C750 says "200 paper jam"

    Primary: Paper is jammed at the printer input sensor. Open the printer left door to access the paper jam. If sheets have been accumulated to be stapled or offset when the jam occurred, the printer alternately flashes the primary and secondary messages to indicate that all accumulated sheets not be removed during the jam clearing procedure.
    Secondary: When this message is displayed, do not remove accumulated sheets during the jam clearing procedure as the printer will not reprint the removed sheets. Also, if the accumulated sheets are removed, the portion of the job printed after the jam will not be stapled.

    Paper jam in Panasonic KX-

    Your document feed is separate from your received and report prints so that's why your reports are printing ok and the document feeder jams. When you open up the doc feeder and look inside the machine you will see a roller and above it on the cover that opens you will see a rubber pad. Clean both the roller and pad (in fact anything in there that is rubber) with a rubber cleaner, alcohol, or even soap and water on a cloth without it been dripping wet. You will probablt find that they are very dirty. The roller feeds the document in so that needs to be clean and the pad helps to keep all the other docs from feeding in at the same time and that should be very clean so it produces good friction.
