Hi @surya0905,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

If paper is jammed in your printer and you’re unable to print, follow these steps to clear the jam and prevent future issues:

1. Power Off the Printer

  1. Turn Off the Printer:
    • Power off the printer using the power button. Unplug it from the electrical outlet for added safety.

2. Remove Paper Trays

  1. Take Out Paper Trays:
    • Remove any paper trays from the printer. Check the trays for any paper that might be stuck or jammed.

3. Open Access Panels

Open the Main Access Door:

  • Open the main access door where the print cartridges are located. This will give you access to the internal paper path.

Check for Jammed Paper:

  • Carefully look inside the printer for any visible pieces of jammed paper. Gently remove any paper you find.

Open the Rear Access Door:

  • Many printers have a rear access door or panel. Open this door to check for any paper that may be jammed in the rear paper path.

4. Remove Jammed Paper

Pull Paper Gently:

  • If you find jammed paper, gently pull it out. Pull the paper in the direction of the paper path to avoid damaging the printer.

Avoid Tearing Paper:

  • If the paper tears, remove any remaining pieces carefully. Ensure no small paper fragments are left inside the printer.

5. Check for Obstructions

Inspect Rollers:

  • Check the rollers inside the printer. Ensure they are clean and free from any paper or debris.

Clear Obstructions:

  • Remove any obstructions that might be blocking the paper path or rollers.

6. Reassemble and Test

  • Replace the paper trays in the printer. Make sure they are properly seated and aligned.
  • Close all access doors and panels securely.

Reconnect and Power On:

  • Plug the printer back in and turn it on. Wait for it to initialize.

7. Test the Printer

  1. Print a Test Page:
    • Print a test page to ensure the printer is functioning correctly and that the paper jam issue is resolved.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.

Please mark this post as “Accepted Solution” if the issue is resolved and if you feel this reply was helpful click “Yes”.
