Upon duplex This HP Laser Jet Pro M501 jams on duplex during the first print session.
Once the paper is cleared, then duplexing is possible.
A HP authorized repair office could not identify the problem ("I cannot witness the jamming," he said).
Can I get store credit for the value I paid for this item to trade in? Plus I got an extended ink cartridge new in box that is worth several hundred dollars

I would remove the printer back cover ( 2 screws) and duplex and inspect the paper guides with a tip of a finger to check are they smooth. Sometimes if there is a small damage or crack in the paper guides a sheet can jam on that damage, and it's possible to feel it under the tip of a finger.

I removed the two screws, removed the back panel, checked the back, and checked the duplexer on the front (after removing the cartridge).
The 2 photos show that.
There were no cracks or damage.
Then I printed.
Subsequently, it jammed again. My photos to show the jams are below (3 in total).
Please advise.

Please send me information how to trade this duplex-broken printer in for a new functioning office laser printer. I have ink that I need credit for, too.
I have not heard from you after trying each of your suggestions.
