HP LaserJet Professional M1130/M1210 MFP - Clear jams


When clearing jams, be careful not to tear jammed paper. If a small piece of paper remains in the product, it could cause additional jams.
Common causes of jams
  • The input tray is loaded incorrectly or is too full.
    NOTE: When you add new media, always remove all of the media from the input tray and straighten the entire stack. This helps prevent multiple feeds and reduces media jams.
  • The media does not meet HP specifications.
  • The product might need to be cleaned to remove paper dust and other particles from the paper path.
Loose toner might remain in the product after a media jam. This toner clears up after a few sheets print.
CAUTION: If you get any toner on your clothes, wash them in cold water. Hot water will permanently set the toner into the fabric .
Jam locations
Jams can occur at the following locations in the product.
