HP Laserjet 3800n paper feeding problems
Good morning
When I print a page my HP Laserjet 3800n often picks two or more paper sheets from the tray. I have been googling for this problem but I could not find the magic words to get a valid result. I suppose it is a cleaning problem, but I prefer asking before dismounting. Thank you in advance. -- Saludos Miguel Giménez |

One simple activity. With each sheaf of paper , before adding to the hopper, bend and flick the leading edge of the sheaf along its length to reduce the "stiction". -- Monthly public talks on science topics, Hampshire , England http://diverse.4mg.com/scicaf.htm |

Thank you all for the replies.
I had the service manual; my problem is described in the jams part and it recommends N_Cook's solution. I will try it as soon as police allows me to go out and buy paper. The paper separation pad looks worn, it looks like someone used sand paper with it. I will look for a replacement in my company's retired printers or a new one. -- Saludos Miguel Giménez |

My laser printer is in the basement. I have to store my unused paper in a heated part of the house or it may jam. It's OK, if it's in the printer.
There is a "curl" to the paper and the printer feeds better one way. So, flip and rotate sometimes helps. Humidity affects paper. You have pick-up and separation. |

Thank you in advance. -- Saludos Miguel Giménez how many sheets usage is on the pickup rollers? If over40K, good idea to replace them. HP makes maintenance kits for refirbing the units. Read the service manual and see what are recommended maintenance items in the paper feed mechanism.. Oh, and ALWAYS keep the paper reams in a low humidity place and 'fan' the pages from both sides and top+bottom before the paper is placed in the tray. good luck j |
