Why Laser Printers Get Paper Jams

It's the number one reason that printers fail. The dreaded paper jams! It may begin as an occasional annoyance. However, it's only going to get worse if neglected. Eventually, your printer will be completely useless. Luckily, most paper jams are easy to fix. So, let's look at why printers jam and then look at things you can do to fix the problem. Why do paper jams happen?

As your printer pulls the paper from the paper tray and moves it through the printing process, the paper passes various paper sensors. If the paper does not clear a paper sensor in the expected time, the printer will give a "paper jam" error. The paper jam error typically includes a numeric code that helps to identify where the paper jam occurred. For example, HP printers will show a Paper Jam 13.01.00 error message to let the user know that the paper jam is in the paper tray. Whereas Paper Jam 13.1C.00 means that the paper jam is in the fuser assembly.

So, now that we understand that paper jams happen when the paper fails to pass the paper sensor within the expected time. Let's look at why this may happen.
