Canon ImageClass MF3010 Flashing " Paper Jam "



Canon ImageClass MF3010 (Brand New) Flashing " Paper Jam " w.o paper even loaded.
It was "simple" to setup and install drivers, etc.

I go to do a simple print job, it sounds like it's working. But nothing comes out. I check to see what's wrong, damn paper jam (single sheet).
Once I cleared it, I tried the test print page. The same thing, paper jam. Both times the print job started, printed one line then jammed.


Now all the printer does is flash the "Paper Jam" light.

I checked for any stuck pieces of paper, nothing. I tried resetting, nothing.

All that happens now when I turn on the printer, it lights up left to right: (power) --> (pages) --> (Paper Jam)

How do I fix this without having to tear it apart? Is this fixable, or should I just return it?

If I return it what should I "replace" it with? What I need is a Multi-function (Print/Scan/Copier) under $250. Monochrome is fine, but color is ok. Laser would've been nice, but Inkjet is fine.

Brand new? Return it.
I have the same printer, been working well for me. Id suggest trying out a different unit of the same model.
That, or swap it out for a similar model from Brother, they usually have similar units for not much more.

Watching some videos for the MF3010, I found this:

When it got to: 2:21

That long orange plastic piece never came out of my printer.

So I had to unpack the printer, and check.

I opened the printer, took out the ink cartridge, and bingo. The orange piece was still there.
So I took out the printer and set it up all over again.

Plugged in power, loaded paper, installed printer driver, connect USB, installed toolbox software


It doesn't need to returned, it works now.
