Common causes

  • 1Overloaded Tray: Too much paper leads to friction and misfeeding.
  • 2Humidity: Damp paper tends to stick to itself, causing multi-sheet feeding.
  • 3Misaligned Guides: Paper enters at an angle, causing a jam at the entry point.
  • 4Foreign Objects: Dust, staples, or debris blocking the roller mechanism.

Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

This error indicates the paper is physically trapped. You will typically see the error code on the printer display. It is most often caused by an overloaded tray or paper that has become wavy due to ambient moisture.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Power Off: Always turn off and unplug the printer before reaching inside.
  2. Access: Open the rear paper tray area.
  3. Extract: Remove the jammed paper by pulling it firmly but steadily.
  4. Check: Verify that no small remnants of the paper are left on the rollers.
  5. Restart: Close the tray and power the printer back on for a fresh start.

Prevention and Maintenance

Keep your paper in a dry, cool place to prevent curling. Use the side paper guides to ensure every sheet enters the printer straight. Avoid overfilling the tray to reduce feeding tension.

When to Call a Technician

If you keep getting error 1300 even when there is no paper jammed, the paper feed rollers might be worn out, requiring service from a technician.

Frequently asked questions

Error 1300 means that a paper jam has occurred within the printer path, stopping the print process.

Not if you pull gently. Tearing the paper inside can be much worse, so take your time and remove it completely.

Standard 80g/m² printer paper is ideal. Always align the paper guides properly to prevent misfeeding.

Fan your paper stack before loading and never exceed the tray capacity limit to keep the paper moving smoothly.
