13.XX PAPER JAM Media is jammed at the specified location (and possibly at other locations). If
the message persists after all jams have been cleared, a sensor or sensor lever might be stuck or broken. For all jam messages,
do the following: 1. Remove jammed print media from the specified location. Check the entire paper path for other pieces of
media in the path. 2. Open and close the top cover to clear the message. 3. Check sensors and flags in the paper path for
proper operation.
13.0 PAPER JAM A
non-specific paper jam occurred. 1. Remove jammed media from the specified location. 2. Verify the paper tray is fully closed.
3. Inspect and/or replace the feed and separation rollers. 4. Ensure there is no obstruction in the path, such as a torn piece
of paper. 5. Open and close the top cover to clear the message. 6. Check sensors and flags for proper operation.
13.1 PAPER JAM OPEN INPUT TRAYS Paper-delay
jam at paper feed area. 1. Ensure that paper trays are loaded and adjusted properly so media can feed from the tray. It might
be necessary to reduce the stack height of media in the tray. 2. Check the input area for obstructions such as media in the
path. Also check to see if the registration assembly damaged or unseated. 3. Replace any defective sensors or flags. 4. Verify
the media meets the specifications. 5. Check the pickup feed and separation rollers for unusual wear. Replace as needed. 6.
Rotate the media in the input tray by 180° and/or turn it over On NX engines this is most likely the fuser flag or the
ACPM. The ACPM has a photo-sensor hard-wired to the back of it.
13.10 PAPER JAM CHECK DUPLEXER Jam at duplexer. 1. Check the duplexer and the rear area of the printer for obstructions or
damage. 2. Check the duplexer for proper operation. Replace the duplexer if a sensor is defective. On a 5si, 8000, or 8100
series laserjet a Duplex Jam can be caused by a tray 2 and 3 feed assembly failure. 13.14 For Laserjet 5si. This error is caused by a defective paper control PCA Replace paper control PCA.
13.2 PAPER JAM OPEN INPUT TRAYS Paper-stopped
jam at paper-feed area. 1. Check the input area for obstructions such as paper in the path. Also check to see if the registration
assembly is damaged or if the transfer roller is out of place. 2. Replace any defective sensors or flags. 3. Ensure the media
does not exceed the maximum length. 4. If multiple sheets are feeding, it might be necessary to fan the media and reduce the
stack height. Also, replace separation pad. 5. Verify that the fuser is properly installed. On NX engines this is an input
jam.
13.20 PAPER JAM CHECK REAR DOOR Media stopped in the
paper path during power on or when the top door was closed. 1. Remove all media in the paper path, and then open and close
the top cover. 2. If the message persists after all media is removed: Check if media is jammed in the pre-feed area. Replace
any defective sensors or flags
13.21 DOOR OPEN JAM The top cover was open while printing. 1. Clear the jam and close the top door.
2. If the message persists, check the top door switch for proper operation.
13.5 PAPER JAM CHECK REAR
DOOR Paper-delay jam at fuser. 1. Check the transfer roller
and small media belt to ensure they are operating and can feed print media. 2. Check the paper path for obstructions at the
transfer roller, toner cartridge, paper feed assembly, and fuser. 3. Replace any defective sensors or flags. 4. Turn the media
stack over and/ or rotate it by 180° in the input tray. If still persists - replace fuser, then DC controller.

TONER OUT The toner cartridge has run out of toner. Depending
on how the printer has been configured, it will either continue to print or stop. Due to the resolution of the toner level
sensor, it is possible that a small amount of toner (less than one percent) might still be present in the cartridge. If the
printer has stopped, you can resume printing by pressing GO for each job. Replace toner cartridge. The high voltage power
supply could also cause this error.
TRAY [X] EMPTY [TYPE] [SIZE] The specified tray is empty, but the current job does not need this tray in order to print correctly. If this message
appears and the tray contains print media, a sensor could be damaged. 1. Load the empty tray (x) to clear the message. If
you do not load the specified tray, the printer will continue printing from the next available tray, and the message remains.
2. If the message remains after the specified tray is loaded, check sensor arm flags for damage and be sure they move freely.
4. Replace defective paper out sensors.
TRAY [x] LOAD [TYPE] [SIZE] where x is tray 2, 3, or 4 This message occurs for the following reasons: Tray 2, 3, or 4
was requested, but the tray is empty. Tray 2, 3, or 4 was requested, but the adjustments are not set for the requested type
or size. 1. Make sure that all three paper size adjustments have been made. Also make sure that the type has been set at the
control panel. 2. Load the requested media into an indicated tray. Ensure the tray is fully seated. Make sure the paper tray
is set for the proper size. Also you might need to replace the cassette
size PCA.
TRAY 1 LOAD [TYPE] [SIZE] The print job has
requested a size and/or type of media that is not loaded. Load the requested print media into tray 1 (or any other desired
tray). - Ensure that the trays are correctly adjusted for size. - The tray type settings (and size for tray 1) must be set
from the paper-handling menu. If this message appears and the correct media is loaded: - Ensure that all paper size adjustments
have been properly performed (see page 220). - Ensure the tray type setting is correct in the paper-handling menu. - Check
the size tabs on the right side of the tray. - Check the size switches and paper sensors. - Ensure the tray is fully seated.
TRAY 1 SIZE = [xxxx] The printer is asking
what size of media has been loaded in tray 1. In response, you can take either of the following actions: 1. Press SELECT to
accept the paper size. 2. Press -VALUE+ to change the size and then press SELECT to accept the new size. The printer will
first display the TRAY 1 TYPE = XXXX message If you do not press any buttons in the time-out period (about one minute), it displays this TRAY 1
SIZE = XXXX message. Changing the size here changes the default for tray 1 paper size in the paper-handling menu.
TRAY 1 TYPE = [xxxx] The printer has received
a job under the three following conditions: - The media type requested by the job is not available in the printer. - Tray
1 has been set for CASSETTE. - Media has been placed in tray 1 (thus triggering tray 1’s paper sensor). If you do not
press any buttons, the message disappears in about one minute). You can take either of the following actions: 1. Press SELECT
to accept the paper type. 2. Press -VALUE+ to change the type and then press SELECT to select the new type. Note Changing
the type here changes the default for tray 1 media type in the paper-handling menu. If you do not do anything during the time-out
period (about one minute), the printer will print on the media in tray 1.
UNABLE TO MOPY JOB Memory or file system failures would not allow a mopy job to occur. Only one
copy will be produced. 1. Reseat RAM DIMMs and/or the EIO hard disk. 2. Install additional memory or an EIO hard disk.
UNABLE TO STORE JOB Memory or file system failures would
not allow the print to store the job. 1. Reseat RAM DIMMs and/or the EIO hard disk. 2. Install additional memory or an EIO hard disk.
UNSUPPORTED SIZE IN TRAY [yy] An external paper-handling device detected an unsupported media size. The printer
