Canon ImageCLASS MF6530: MF6530: Persistent paper jam. Took video in the tray. No error code.

Thu, 10 Aug 2023 07:39:49 -0700

The display says "Paper Jam / Open Left Cover" without any code. I don't think the jam is real.

I put a camera inside the paper tray and upload the video to youtube

At 0:03, the cassette pickup roller (CPR) would push the top paper forward
At 0:04, the CPR would push that top paper once more. After that, the top paper completely goes in.
At 0:06, the CPR would push the 2nd paper.
Then the printer says it gets a paper jam.

The top of the 2nd piece of paper is right at the end of the registration roller. The paper doesn't go a bit beyond the registration roller. After I open the left cover, I can't just pull that single piece of paper out. I have to manually roll the roller to get the 2nd paper out.

On page 111, the service manual talks about a "Retry Pickup":

If the registration sensor(SR11) does not detect paper within a specific period of time after the cassette pickup roller has started to rotate, the machine will start to rotate the cassette pickup roller once again to execute a retry pickup operation
If the registration sensor (SR11) still does not detect paper within a specific period of time after executing a retry pickup 3 times, the machine will identify the condition as a jam and will indicate a jam message on the LCD of its control panel

At first, I thought maybe SR11 was faulty and couldn't detect the paper. That would make the machine do that "retry pickup".

But I am not sure because I *can't* even see an error code for the jam.

Does a jam always have an error code? If that is the case, how to see that code?

I have tried:

Go into maintenance mode ([additional function], [2], [8], [additional function])
Clear history of error
Copy something and let the paper jam.
Print the history of errors

But that history is blank.

I also did several sensor tests using the normal sensor mode (not the latch mode).

Testing the Sensor for Papers in Tray

Test of the cassette paper sensor (SR9):

When I remove all papers in the paper tray, the display says "CAS 0".
After I put papers back into the tray, the display says "CAS 1".

When the tray has papers, CAS = 1. When the tray has no paper, CAS = 0.

What I see: 0/tray has no paper, 1/tray has paper.

But page 224 (F14-14) of the manual says the exact opposite: "CAS: Cassette paper sensor (SR9): 0/Document presence, 1/Document absent".

Testing the Registration Sensor

When I did a sensor test after the paper jam, I saw "REG 1".
After I removed the paper, I saw "REG 0".

What I see: 0/no paper, 1/has paper.

The manual says the exact opposite: "REG: Registration sensor (SR11): 0/Document presence, 1/Document absent”

Testing the Delivery Sensor

I ask the printer to make a copy. Before the printer completes the print, I open the left cover.
Before I remove the half-printed document, the sensor test says “DEL 1 0”.
After I remove the half-printed document, the sensor test says: “DEL 0 0”

What I see: 0 0/no paper, 1 0/has paper.

The manual says the same thing: "Delivery sensor (SR5): 1/Document presence, 0/Document absence.”

Canon Printer: Why is the paper jamming every time?

Wed, 07 Jun 2023 09:16:45 -0700

My Canon printer (MAXIFY MB2750) is jamming before I even try to print. I receive the error message to say the paper is jammed (1303) so I remove the paper and shut the rear door and immediately the same happens again. It's like it's getting half way but not feeding through properly and it makes a horrible grinding noise as it tries to push through. A white roller/wheel spins really fast and makes the grinding noise if there is no paper to push through. Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this issue?

Canon Printer: Print Head will not move

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 08:44:42 -0700

I have a Canon Pixma Pro 9500 Mark II. It has been in storage for about 5 years. I set it up and the amber and blue light flashes. The amber light only flashes once. When I open the cover the print head does not move to the center. It has print cartridges that were stored in it. I unplugged it and tried to manually move the print head but it will not budge. I have not hooked it up to my printer yet as I wanted to make sure everything was good to go first.

When I insert paper onto the paper tray the paper gets pulled into the back of the printer and gets stuck. This all started when I accidentally pushed a bunch of paper in while printing (thinking that the paper should've gone more in) and now the printer shows "Error" and will not print as well. Does anyone know how to fix this?
