If the exit sensor flag is not resting within the paper exit sensor during POST, the
printer displays a paper jam message. Make sure the flag is operating freely and
is correctly installed. Make sure the wire spring in the top cover is properly
positioned relative to the sensor. See the photo on page 4-11.

• The printer indicates where the jam occurs.
- A 200 paper jam (see “200 Paper jam at the input sensor” on
page 2-14) indicates the paper did not activate the input sensor. Access
this jam through the front and rear doors.
- A 201 jam (see “201 Paper jams between the input sensor and exit
sensor” on page 2-14) indicates the paper activated the input sensor,
but did not make it to the exit sensor. Access this jam through the rear
and top doors.
- A 202 jam (see “202 Paper jams as a printed job exits the printer.” on
page 2-15) indicates the paper has not cleared the exit sensor. Access
this jam through the rear and top cover doors.
• Check the paper path for any obstruction that could cause a jam.
• Inspect the input sensor and exit sensor mechanisms.
Note: The input sensor is soldered on the transfer card and input sensor
assembly. The flag for this sensor is part of the paper picking assembly. The
cable connecting the card to the controller card is available in the
miscellaneous cable assembly.
The exit sensor and flag are part of the fuser assembly and are not service
items alone. The cable for the exit sensor is part of the miscellaneous cable
assembly.
