Common causes
- 1Glazed or worn rubber tires on the paper pickup assembly.
- 2Excessive ambient humidity making paper sheets stick to each other.
- 3Improperly adjusted tray guides exerting physical drag on the paper stack.
Solutions
Troubleshooting Misfeed Jam E030
This condition is usually caused by slick feed rollers covered in micro-dust, or misaligned plastic tray locks.
Solution 1: Clean and Check Feed Rollers
Paper fiber buildup glazes the rubber tire surface, causing the wheels to spin without dragging the top sheet.- Pull the paper cassette out completely.
- Locate the pickup, feed, and separation rollers inside the top-right recess.
- Dampen a lint-free cloth with water. Avoid chemical solvents or rubbing alcohol, which can dry out and crack the rubber compounds.
- Wipe the rollers thoroughly, rotating them manually to clear all surfaces.
Solution 2: Standardize Media and Tray Settings
Paper stored in high humidity or tight guides can prevent proper physical separation.- Take the paper stack out of the cassette.
- Flex and fan the sheets to dissipate static charges.
- Re-seat the stack and adjust the side and rear guide sliders. Make sure they lock snugly against the lines without squeezing the edges of the media.
Steps to follow
- 1
Remove Tray 1
Pull Tray 1 completely out from the printer's main chassis.
- 2
Wipe down rubber rollers
Clean the three feeding tires located at the upper right entry using a damp, lint-free microfiber cloth.
- 3
Fan the paper and adjust guides
Fan the paper stack to remove static, replace it in the tray, and check that the guides are aligned.
Frequently asked questions
If the feed rollers are slipping and fail to pull a sheet, the machine registers a 'phantom' jam because the sensor expected paper to arrive but detected nothing.
