Hewlett Packard 2100TN Feed Jams

I'm having difficulty with my HP 2100TN.

I needed to print a lot of pages and so wanted to use both sides of
each page.

So I first printed all odd number pages, and then proceeded with the
tedious chore of flipping each page for the even numbers.

Unfortunately just about every page gets stuck, and I have to open up
the printer and take out the toner to reach the page which seems to
get caught under that metal piece that says "Lift here to remove
paper".(Obviously HP anticipated feed jams).

Anyway, I'd appreciate any ideas on what to do to correct the problem.

Thanks.

The only thing I can suggest is make sure the paper hasn't warped from
the fusing process enough to cause paper jams.

I have seen the paper curl or develp a bit of a turn in it that is
opposite of what the paper needs to run when on the opposite side. You
can somethings flatten this by slightly curling it the opposite way
manually before loading it.

Hi there,

If you are referring to Tony Sleep's filmscanner list, I was on it for
several years. I have been here and other printer groups for ages.
