Paper Jam, but no paper

[fishers]

This worked for me, hope it works tor you. Cleared the so called paper jam where there was no paper

I don’t believe that “prevention is better than the cure” translates very well to electronics as the paper jam is going to eventually occur regardless of any preventative measures taken thus a “cure” is still ultimately needed. I am an example of this as I have done all the preventative actions and it still happened, though this has been the sole instance of a paper jam I experienced with this machine thus far so it does limit these errors.

When it comes to a paper jam, using the right printing paper can help reduce the likelihood that it will occur. As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure. It’s important to note that older paper is likely to have absorbed moisture, so store your paper in a cool, dry place to prevent it from becoming damp.

I managed to fix it (I have a C310). Open the A compartment (the thing it tells you to open to remove the paper). While it is open select done. Then it will have an error about having the compartment open. Close the compartment. After that it was back to all green.

I have this same problem and I have tried the solutions listed above and found them COMPLETELY inadequate. 

1- The Fault Code is correct

2 - I looked for paper more  times than I'll admit (10 -15), and 

3 - "Tips for minimizing Paper Jams" is just rude.

Your other solution, "contact customer support" should come with an asterisk to only do so if you have a machine under warranty! Since my machine is more than 2 years old, it isn't. The chat person, Agent Jeffrey, was great about telling me that he couldn't help me since I didn't have a warranty and offered me options for paying to talk to him or customer support. He also suggested an authorized agent. Of course, the closest one is 150 miles away. He was also great at diffusing my frustration by hanging up on me on chat. 

You don't seem to have a problem emailing me way too often about new products, new solutions and new resources. However, the first time I have an issue in the years I have owned the product and spent lots of money on toner, it's pay up or too bad.

As the CEO of a small non-profit, it's more than a little disappointing.

We have the same problem.  "Jam in tray 1" but no paper is jammed.

We have a C600 color printer.

Have turned the machine on and off several times.

Have installed the software update.

Have deleted all jobs and tried to re-print.

Hi Gema, how are you?

Would you please provide the last 10 fault codes from the machine?

Hi Gemma,

I searched our Knowledge-base and found some things that you can try if you haven't already tried HERE. 

If that doesn't help you may need to engage the Support department. The options for Support are located HERE.

I have an error message saying there is a paper jam in tray 1.  I have checked and can not find a jam anywhere on the printer, I have removed all the paper, restarted the printer and the error message comes back so I am unable to print.  

Can anyone help me either solve the problem or bypass it so I can still print from the manual feed tray?

Thanks in advance

Gemma
