SOURCE: lexmark z2300 printer won't pull in paper

1. Turn the printer off and open the access cover.
2. Look for any obstructions in the paper path and remove them if necessary. (It is possible to move the carrier assembly with the power off.)
3. Turn the printer on, load some paper, and press the Form Feed button. (On the X83, press the Select button.)
4. Watch the paper as it feeds through and try to determine where the jam is occurring.
5. Check to see if all the rollers are turning.

If all the rollers are turning, there may be something in the feed path that you can't see. Go to step 6.
If not, there is probably a feed motor or a gear problem and the printer may require service.
6. If the paper is jamming under the carrier assembly, you may be able to fix it using the manual feed slot.
7. Turn the printer off.
8. Take a #10 envelope and feed it through the left side of the manual feed slot until it comes right through the printer to the back of the exit rollers.
9. Move it up and down first, and then slowly move it over to the right side. If something is stuck under the black guide plate, this may work it loose.

SOURCE: hp lj100a keep pulling several sheets of paper

If it is pulling all the pages at once, the separation pads are dirty or worn out. If you remove the drum/toner you should be able to see the feed tire that pulls the paper in to be printed on. You will also see small gray or black rubber pads, these separate the pages. You will need to clean these with mild detergent, but do not use alcohol. If this helps for a little while or not at all the separation pads will need to be replaced.

Hp design jet 2300 paper detect problem. even after removing the print paper roll from the machine it says remove paper but there is no paper inside

Hard Reset:
  • With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  • Remove USB cable, if present.
  • Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
  • Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
  • Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle.

Print 4.374 x 5.75 sharp 2300

Envelopes must be run from the bypass tray at the side of the machine. touch the paper trays on the touch screen. Set the bypass to envelope and com10. when you go to print, make sure the paper type is set to envelope under printer preferances.

Problems with duplex printing

So you're saying it will only pull paper from tray 1? This is likely because there is some setting that makes it think the paper in the other tray is not "normal" -- either thick paper, or a different size, or recycled. Check the paper type and size settings in the printer's menu, and also check the settings in the print driver.

The other tray that you want to duplex from is capable of duplexing, right? On some printers you can only duplex from specific trays.

HP 5550 Print issue

When you removed the jammed paper , the jam paper sensor was not reset or positioned correctly. The reason the machine was sending two pieces of paper thru at once was probably due to the paper feed sensor. A lot of H'Ps do this. Try re-aligning the tray and if you pulled the paper out and heard a grinding noise, the whole feed unit is probably out of time.I would only re-install the software as a last resort, since your problem was caused by hardware, not software.
