Cleaning will only be a very temporary fix. Once the roller become impregnated, they are history.

Over a brief period, the residue builds up….then the jams start because the paper is slipping, and not quite getting to its next check point. Yes, many companies say it is OK…….IT IS DEFINITELTY NOT !!!! Every piece fed thru will leave some residue on the rollers, and pre-printed ink is worse than toner. Try to never run pre-printed paper thru again. If too old, they will become sticky when cleaned, and wont become “un-sticky” for a while, if at all. If they are slippery-smooth, they are too dirty, or too old. If you put alcohol on rubber rollers, they will get clean, and will feed the paper properly. Use alcohol (insert joke here)and a scrub sponge…not for some types of “foam” rollers nowadays. If it fails to get there on time, VIOLA!….Le Jam.ĬLEAN YOUR ROLLERS…Yes, you can do it!. That process is repeated the entire distance through the paper path. At those times, try to observe anything the paper is touching as you remove it-it is relatively easy to generate sufficient force to knock a sensor flag out of position.ĪLL COPIERS AND PRINTERS-sense jams this way….X amount of time to be picked up from the tray, and arrive at it’s first check point, and from there, to it’s next check point. It will not always be possibly to do this. Yes, I know this seems like it takes far longer than simply yanking out the offending piece, But you won’t be left without a printer because of a scrap floating around inside.AND MOST IMPORTANTLY,Always attempt to remove paper in the same direction it was travelling. If the paper begins to tear STOP, try to re-grip closer to the nip (where the two rollers meet) of the rollers, and try again.

2)….grab any piece of paper to be removed using BOTH HANDS,-pull EVENLY with both hands, steady pressure. Always do the following at jam-time: 1) If your unit gives a sequential removal/clearing tutorial, follow it. It’s also used as a “kitchen drawer” descriptor for anything short of software, print head or other circuity issues. A “paper jam”, in most home printers, does not necessarily mean that verbatim. Typically, a small scrap of paper will come to rest at or near a sensor or a sensor arm (also called a flag). No printing device has a capability to “absorb” a stray scrap of paper. General advice on ALL copier/’printer jams…a WHOLE piece of paper in should equal a WHOLE piece of paper out.
