I have a paper jam error and can't get to the paper to pull it out. Other posts say that I need to remove the fuser but I can't find the instructions. Does anyone have a link to the 3201dw repair manual?

Hi @AStuf,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Try these steps:
Turn off the Printer:
- Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source to ensure safety while handling internal components.
Open Access Doors:
- Open the top cover or any other access doors to reach the internal parts where the paper jam might be located.
Remove Fuser Unit:
- If you need to access paper stuck in the fuser, you may need to remove the fuser unit.
- Typically, there are clips or screws holding the fuser unit in place. Consult your printer’s user guide for specific instructions on removing the fuser.
Clear Paper Jam:
- Gently pull the jammed paper out of the fuser and any other internal components. If the paper tears, ensure you remove all small pieces.
Reinstall Fuser:
- Once the paper is removed, reinsert the fuser unit back into its original position.
Restart the Printer:
- Power on the printer again and check if the error message is cleared and the printer resumes normal operation.
I hope this helps.

This product is nearly identical to the 4201 series product so the repair guide for that model should help you out. https://kaas.hpcloud.hp.com/pdf-public/pdf_9452560_en-US-1.pdf
