13.1 PAPER JAM OPEN INPUT TRAYS

Paper-delay jam at paperfeed area.

1. Ensure that paper trays are loaded and adjusted properly so media can feed from the tray. It might be necessary to reduce the stack height of media in the tray.
2. Check the input area for obstructions such as media in the path. Also check to see if the registration assembly damaged or unseated.
3. Replace any defective sensors or flags.
4. Verify the media meets the specifications.
5. Check the pickup feed and separation rollers for unusual wear. Replace as needed.
6. Rotate the media in the input tray by 180° and/or turn it over.

On NX engines this is most likely the fuser flag or the ACPM. The ACPM has a photosensor hard-wired to the back of it.

13.10 PAPER JAM CHECK DUPLEXER

Jam at duplexer.

1. Check the duplexer and the rear area of the printer for obstructions or damage.
2. Check the duplexer for proper operation. Replace the duplexer if a sensor is defective.

On a 5si, 8000, or 8100 series laserjet a Duplex Jam can be caused by a tray 2 and 3 feed assembly failure.

13.14

For Laserjet 5si. This error is caused by a defective paper control PCA.

• Replace paper control PCA.

13.2 PAPER JAM OPEN INPUT TRAYS

Paper-stopped jam at paper-feed area.

1. Check the input area for obstructions such as paper in the path. Also check to see if the registration assembly is damaged or if the transfer roller is out of place.
2. Replace any defective sensors or flags.
3. Ensure the media does not exceed the maximum length.
4. If multiple sheets are feeding, it might be necessary to fan the media and reduce the stack height. Also, replace separation pad.
5. Verify that the fuser is properly installed.

On NX engines this is an input jam.

13.20 PAPER JAM CHECK REAR DOOR

Media stopped in the paper path during power on or when the top door was closed.

1. Remove all media in the paper path, and then open and close the top cover.
2. If the message persists after all media is removed: Check if media is jammed in the prefeed area. Replace any defective sensors or flags.

1. Press GO to clear the error message and continue printing.
2. Reseat the EIO card in slot [X].

41.3 UNEXPECTED PAPER SIZE

The printer detected a media size different from what it was expecting. This is typically caused if two or more sheets stick together in the printer or if the tray is not properly adjusted.

1. Reload the tray with the correct print media size.
2. Ensure that media in the tray is loaded under the front and back tabs.
3. If you are printing from tray 1, verify that the correct paper size is selected in the control panel.
4. If you are printing from tray 2, 3, or 4, verify that the three paper-size adjustments (length guide, width guide, size-selector switch) on the paper tray have been made correctly. Make sure the media is under the corner tabs.
5. After performing the actions above, press GO. The page containing the error will automatically be reprinted if jam recovery is enabled. (Or, you might want to press CANCEL JOB to clear the job from the printer’s memory)

For the 4000, 4050, and 4100 series the paper feed assembly could be bad. The paper feed/registration sensors could be knocked out of place. On EX engine printers this error is caused by a bad PIU (paper input unit).

41.5 PRINTER ERROR

The media reached the PS102 or PS103 sensor too early.

1. This error usually occurs with smooth media, such as transparencies or labels. If the problem persists when using tray 1, load media one sheet at a time. If the problem persists when using trays 3 and 4, replace the feed and separation rollers.
2. Check sensors PS102 and PS103 for proper operation.

For the 4000, 4050, and 4100 series the paper feed assembly could be bad. Also the paper feed/registration sensors could be knocked out of place. On EX engine printers this error is caused by a bad PIU (paper input unit).
