Welcome to the HP support community.

 

I understand that you are getting paper jam errors, I am glad to assist you.

 

Reset the printer

Reset the printer to recover from printer errors or failures.

  1. If your printer has a rechargeable battery, remove it.

  2. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer.

  3. Unplug the power cord from the power source.

  4. Wait 60 seconds.

  5. Reconnect the power cord to a wall outlet and to the printer.

    NOTE: 

    HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.

  6. Turn on the printer to complete the reset.

Clean the paper feed rollers

Dust, paper fiber, and other debris might accumulate on the paper feed rollers and cause paper jams and paper feed issues. Clean the rollers to help prevent future paper jams.

Clean the rollers inside the ink cartridge access area.

WARNING: 

To avoid risk of injuries or electric shock, you must disconnect the power cord before reaching inside the printer.

  1. Turn off the printer, and then disconnect the power cord.

  2. Open the front door, and then lift the ink cartridge access door.

  4. Gently clean the rollers with the damp cloth.
