Some of the factors that lead to a paper jam in printers-

Simply staking the paper in paper tray seems to be a very easy job but what we don’t realize is that if the papers are not kept properly or if the papers are sticking to each other then the paper will get stuck inside the printer. Either the paper will be stuck inside or it will be completely cured by the time it comes out after printing.
  • Damages Rollers – Rollers are very important as it helps in the printing process. But by continuous using of the roller, it might suffer rear and tear. Thus the roller will be damaged and the paper will be taken inside instead of printing and thus causing a paper jam.
  • Use of low-quality paper – Using low-quality paper in the printer can also cause the paper jam. Also, if there are bits of paper stuck inside the printer then also you will face the error. So, you need to clean the printer and check if there are any bits of paper inside.
