paper jamming on cannon pixma 532?
613557
Like some others, I had the problem with the 532 paper jamming also. There are instructions on how to clear the jams on the Canon site. In the end I opted for another model, an MX 472, which seems to work OK and it uses the same ink cartridges as the 532

My previous answer of yes was a mistake. I have experienced no paper jams as of yet

perhaps you have a defective printer, but mine works just fine ... open the front door, place paper on the tray, open the top of printer, and ready to print ... if it keeps jamming, I would request a replacement ... good luck!

I agree with the first answer. The sad thing I learned is that a jammed printhead is a common cause of failure of this printer. It wan't a paper jam, although the readout said it was. The printhead jammed and there was no way to move it. Mine was only 13 mo. old so they wouldn't replace it and when I called they had no remedy other than searching for paper jam. For this reason I would never buy another Kodak.

The only time the printer jammed was when I tried to print on INKJET photo paper, not LASER photo paper! Trust me, lesson learned!

PS I too have had problems with printing the envelopes. They are heavy paper but if I lightly hold down the flap as it goes into the printer, that helps it accept it but if it doesn't, it will jam your printer.

I have a Canon, and didn't have a problem. Maybe try googling your problem, someone probably has a solution already out there.

Firstly, never, ever turn it off. If you do, say there is a power cut when it is printing, the teeth in the cubes will jamb and the cost of repair is more than a new Samsung printer. Secondly, paper jams are frequent. We could solve this for a short while by cleaning all the rollers and making sure the sensor was clear. But it would soon happen again. Any paper less than 22lbs fails continually. We ended up using 25 lb paper to solve the issue for longer periods.

Rosemary - first take out the toner cartridge and reinsert - sometimes the smallest thing can cause jams. Second, your paper may have a little too much moisture in it - that also causes jams - put in fresh paper (fan it first) and try that. I might mention I had the same problem on another machine (another company) with paper jams - it happened frequently UNTIL I put in a fresh toner cartridge...didn't make sense to me at the time when I switched it out. The machine worked perfectly since then. Upon examinationn, there was the most minute jag on one part of the removed cartridge - I filed it down with an emory board and used it after I emptied the new cartridge. Worked just fine. I do a lot of prinnting so I probably run into more situations than most. I hope this helps....Anne

Since I'm not with the printer ... at father-in-law's house .. not sure. But if he was having paper jams I'm sure I'd have heard about it (see him almost every day). However, sometimes copiers are sensitive to paper direction. Try turning the stack over. In the past paper had to be put in the tray a certain side up and the ream wrapper actually had an arrow showing you this. If I find out more I'll let you know.

I had to upgrade to the next closest model when my old printer died, but this one is very similar. If you lift the lid, there should be a black handle on the large plastic piece that hold down the paper near the back. lift that, and release the paper that is jammed. Then make sure to clearly press the black piece in place again, and it should work fine. Your manual should clear up any questions as well. Good luck!!

I'm not sure what the spec is but I can print on Business card stock but anything thicker than that will jam. Even business card stock does not separate well when feeding. That is on the MG 5520 model.

I still have the software on my comuter for this printer. Take the paper out of the tray. Grab the entire tray mechanism (photo and larger) by the back end of tray (printer end). Wiggle it a little, then press down carefully on the back of trays (printer side/not front) and see if it clicks into place. The "help" says this is for when the photo tray won't dis-engage, so try it. Maybe when you loaded it the trays lifted a little. Also, this printer seems to have an issue with overloading. Put the paper back in (don't go above the top of the paper guides) then slide in the guides till they touch the paper. See if the top tray will swing down. That's all the menu had, sorry.

I have not had a problem with jamming. Sometimes the large stack of paper stops feeding into the shredder but if you lift the cover and straighten the papers it will start to work again. I am happy with the shredder. I usually use it while I am at my computer. Just place your papers and forget it.

I use glossy paper for photos. When you select glossy paper you'll see and advisory that duplex printing can cause paper jams with that paper. Otherwise it works wonderfully.

I had to download the latest drivers from Canon: http://usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/printers_multifunction/photo_all_in_one_inkjet_printers/pixma_mp495#DriversAndSoftware

I've had one for about 3-4 years and just attempted to print business cards and have tried to print card stock in the past. Neither work. Putting in just one sheet at a time and using the premium matte paper setting didn't change anything. Any way I try the printer says out of paper / paper jam error and neither is true. Very disappointed on this part of the performance. Rest has been fine.

My PIXMA was was also displaying a "Remove Paper Jam" message that I couldn't fix, because I couldn't find the jam. I turned the printer upside down and banged on it pretty force ably with an open hand for about 30 seconds, flipped the printer right-side up and it began working again.
