Hi @BJD13,
I'd like to help!
I understand you are facing a paper jam error.
Try the below suggestions -
Step 1: Clear any jammed paper from the printer
There are three different areas where paper might become jammed. Clear any jammed paper from one area, and then try to print again. If the error persists, check the next area for any jammed paper.
- Clear any jammed paper from the output tray
- Clear any jammed paper from the input tray
- Clear any jammed paper from the paper path and ink cartridge access area
Step 2: Make sure the carriage can move freely
Step 3: Use automated tools to clean page smears
Step 4: Manually clean the paper feed rollers
Step 5: Reset the printer
For instructions refer to - 'Paper Jam' Error
If the issue persists, I'd suggest you contact HP in your region regarding the service options for your printer
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
