HP Envy 7855 document feeder jam with no paper

[teke0884]

Hello, when setting up the printer for the first time I get a "Document Feeder Jam" error immediately after setting up. I have never used this printer before and there is no paper in the entire printer. It will not clear even upon cleaning of the rollers inside the Automatic Document Feeder.

Hi @teke0884,

I'd like to help!

Look for packaging material in the printer-

Clean the ADF rollers and the separator pad

Dust inside the automatic document feeder (ADF) can result in paper feed issues.

1. Get a lint-free cloth and distilled water.

2. Remove the original document from the ADF.

3. Turn off the printer.

4. Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.

5. Open the ADF cover.

   

6. Find the paper pick rollers and the separator pad inside the ADF.

7. Lightly dampen a clean, lint-free cloth with filtered or distilled water, and then squeeze any excess liquid from the cloth.

8. Use the damp cloth to clean the paper pick rollers and the separator pad.

9. Leave the ADF cover open for two minutes to allow the rollers and pad to dry.

10. Close the ADF cover.

11. Reconnect the power cord to the printer, and then turn on the printer.

12. Slide in the paper width guides until they rest against the sides of the paper.

13. Try to scan or copy with the ADF.

Reset the printer

Reset the printer to recover from printer errors or failures.

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

2. Unplug the power cord from the power source.

3. Wait 60 seconds.

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

   NOTE: 

   HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.

5. Turn on the printer to complete the reset.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

I have inspected the entirety of the interior of the printer and I am unable to see anything inside it besides the plastic and metal components that should be there. I should mention that this was bought through a third party who had been using it for just over a year. Is there a sensor that can be replaced on this printer by a user?

ADF is not a customer replaceable part. 

As this is a hardware issue, I’d recommend you contact HP Phone Support in your region regarding service options for your printer.

Follow the instructions below to reach them:

1) Click on this link - https://support.hp.com/us-en/contact-hp

2) Select your product type below.

3) Enter the serial of your device. 

4) Select the country from the drop-down. 

5) Select the chat or get phone number options based on your preferences. 

6)Fill the web-form and proceed further.

If you are having trouble navigating through the above options, it's most likely because the device is out of warranty. If yes? please send me a private message with the region you are contacting us from. Check next to your profile name, you should see a little blue envelope, please click on it.  

Have a great day!
