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. 1

    Remove Tray 1

    Pull Tray 1 completely out from the printer's main chassis.

  2. 2

    Wipe down rubber rollers

    Clean the three feeding tires located at the upper right entry using a damp, lint-free microfiber cloth.

  3. 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.
