Jam at Registration Roller: Jam RR
The Registration Sensor indicates that paper did not reach the sensor on time or that 
paper remains in the Registration Chute.
Applicable Status Code:
Code 154: Registration Jam
Initial Actions:
■ Ask the customer about the paper types being used. If not on the 
recommended list, determine if this is contributing to the problem. Recycled, 
multi-purpose or copier paper tends to contaminate the paper path. Constant 
use of special papers such as labels or business cards can also contribute to 
jamming.
■ Ensure the correct tray loading and setup procedures are followed (securing 
the guides, selecting the correct paper type, fanning the paper, etc.).
■ Make sure the printer is plugged directly into an electrical outlet. Using 
extension cords or a power strip is not recommended.
■ Make every attempt to establish a jam rate prior to starting any work. If 
possible print a Status page or Usage Profile report and note the page count 
between jams.
■ Determine if jamming is occurring in one tray but not another. This helps to 
identify any dirty or defective parts.
■ Clear the paper path of any Jams and paper debris. Start at the Turn Chute 
and work up to the Registration Chute Assembly.
■ Clean the paper Feed and Pick Rollers in the paper tray and tray slot using a 
slightly damp (water only) lint free cloth.
■ Cycle printer power.
■ If the problem persists, follow the procedure below.
Note
In some instances the error will clear after power is cycled, but reappears 
with the next print. Check for a piece of paper fan-folded behind the Feeder 
Chute (PL3.1.2) or below the Registration Roller Assembly (PL4.2.1).
