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
- Power off the unit: Unplug the power source to release mechanical resistance on the rubber feed rollers.
- 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. - 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.
- Power up and clear: Turn the printer back on and press the physical Stop button to reset the code.
Steps to follow
- 1
Shut down power
Unplug the G3110 immediately to release roller grip tension.
- 2
Extract the paper
Slowly pull the paper out in the path of natural travel to avoid ripping.
- 3
Clean optical sensor paths
Inspect the inner frame with a flashlight to verify no tiny paper fibers are triggering the sensor.
