HP P1102W Jam – how to dismantle ?

Lift the document feeder input tray to access to the document feeder output tray, and then remove any jammed paper from the output area. To avoid tearing any whole sheets of paper, pull the paper with both hands. Open the scanner lid. If there is paper jammed behind the white plastic backing, gently pull it out.

A paper jam is when paper or other printed material gets stuck or lodged in a printer and cannot eject.

If your printer has a paper path cover behind the carriage, remove the cover, and then remove any jammed paper. Pull out the input tray, and then remove any jammed paper. If your printer has a bottom cleanout door, carefully lift the printer and look under it, and then remove any jammed paper from the bottom cleanout.

Sometimes a paper jam error persists even though there is no jammed paper (false paper jam). Reset the printer, which might clear a false paper jam error, and then try to print again. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer. Unplug the power cord from the power source.

Paper jams can occur for a variety of reasons, such as overloading the paper tray, loading different thicknesses of paper in the tray, or using paper that isn`t appropriate for your particular printer. False paper jams can also occur.

This can happen for a variety of reasons, from a sudden power outage, low ink, no paper, a paper jam to interference by third-party firewall software.
