Things You'll Need:
- Nasty paper jam
- All-in-one printer
-
Step 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.
-
Step 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.
-
Step 3
Take off the front paper tray. If the sheet jammed around here, you should be able to see most of the paper.
-
Step 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.
-
Step 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.
-
Step 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.
-
Step 7
Return any access panels to their closed and locked positions. Plug your printer back in and flip the power switch.
