Canon ImageClass MF3240 paper jam problem - fixed!


I recently had a paper jam problem with the Canon ImageClass MF3240. I followed all the possible fix to remove the jam, but after clearing the paper in all access doors, the printer still gives the paper jam error. Restarted the printer several times to no avail and the red light keeps blinking. Well here is something not suggested in the manual.

1. Turn off your printer.
2. Pull off all plugs attached to your printer back.
3. Remove the paper tray to look for the sensor located underneath the printer.
4. Get a flashlight and look closely. The sensor is located in a small hole, just above the small plastic "lever" (looks like a small hockey paddle) on the left side of the gray rubber roller.
5. There is a tiny paper shred stuck inside and this causes the sensor to detect a paper jam.
6. Get a small tweezer to remove that paper.
7. Return all cables and start your printer and that's it!

Hope this helps you as it saved me a big headache.

Even if the toner is new or full, the Brother HL-2140 stops printing. This is one common problem to this model. Here is what you need to do:
1. Turn off your printer
2. Take out the toner.
3. On both sides of the toner, you will see a small hole - this is the sensor.
4. Cover the sensor with masking tape and color the tape with black marker. you can also use electrical tape to cover them.

Here is a detailed video on how to do it:

Canon MX700 printer shows error code 5100

The Canon MX700 5100 error indicates that there is something that might be causing obstruction between the rollers. Check for small paper shreds that might get stuck. If there are no obstruction, then this error can be caused of the white sliding thing where the printhead rests when the printer is not in use; it needs to be lubricated. Try to lubricate also the sliders with some grease so that the mechanism can now slide freely. You need to open the right panel of the printer by unscrewing the 2 screws to take it out.

Cannot Open CD drive on laptop

When pressing the eject button, the CD tray wont open.

Solution:

There is actually a small pin hole on the cd drive. Whilst the laptop is turned on, you just have to push a paper clip or any pointed object to that hole. That would eject your CD tray manually. Hope this helps.
