How to Clear a Paper Jam (Error 1300)

Pulling paper out violently or in the wrong direction can damage delicate physical sheet-detection actuators.

Solution: Safe Paper Extraction

  1. Power off the unit: Unplug the power source to release mechanical resistance on the rubber feed rollers.
  2. Pull in the direction of travel:
    * If the paper is visible from the front exit tray, grasp it with both hands and pull it outward smoothly.
    * If the jam is located in the rear input tray, pull the sheet straight up and out slowly.
  3. Inspect for scraps: Open the top carriage access door and use a flashlight to check for torn paper corners, staples, or dust clumping around the rollers.
  4. Power up and clear: Turn the printer back on and press the physical Stop button to reset the code.

Steps to follow

  1. 1

    Shut down power

    Unplug the G3110 immediately to release roller grip tension.

  2. 2

    Extract the paper

    Slowly pull the paper out in the path of natural travel to avoid ripping.

  3. 3

    Clean optical sensor paths

    Inspect the inner frame with a flashlight to verify no tiny paper fibers are triggering the sensor.
