Start with switching off the device. This eliminates risk from active components while you're clearing the jam, which could cause further damage or accidental trauma. Disconnect the power cord if you're questioning the risk or if the jam is deep inside the machine.


Expose all paper paths and trays. Start with the paper tray. Remove any paper that is stuck or misaligned. Sometimes the issue is caused by incorrect paper placement. Verify the stack is level, free of excess volume, and that the alignment guides are pressed firmly.


Examine the paper path. Gently pull out any visible paper. Always pull in the direction the paper normally travels — usually toward the exit or output tray. Yanking paper in reverse can tear it and ریسو leave fragments behind, which may cause another jam. If you see small pieces of paper stuck in rollers or around the toner cartridge, use tweezers to remove them carefully.


Following complete paper removal, inspect the rollers. Dust, debris, or dried ink can lead to misfeeds or wrinkling. Clean them using a microfiber cloth. Avoid using liquids unless the product guidelines permit it.


Once everything is clear, Reassemble all covers and power up. Run a test print with just one sheet of paper to confirm the issue is resolved. If paper jams again, the problem may be with the paper quality. Use only printer-compatible paper that is dry, flat, and free of curls or wrinkles.


Avoiding jams is equally crucial. Maintain a dust-free, moisture-free zone. Never load multiple paper grades together. Upgrade rollers on high-mileage printers. And always follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule.


By taking a few moments to handle jams correctly, you can minimize printing interruptions and keep your office running smoothly.
