LJ3 - Always paper jam on first page

[H. E. Taylor]

Greetings,
My HP LJ III is acting up. Every time I put in new paper I get
a paper jam 2 or 10 times. Then once it has printed one page it
works fine. I have no idea how the paper pickup works or just
what might be behind this. Anybody see this before?
<regards>

Hi...

You most likely need a new pick-up roller and separation pad
installed, they aren't too expensive but unless you are some what
mechanically inclined it can be a bit of a job to do. There are a
number of places on the web where you can get the parts and even the
instructions on how to do it.

Feed Roller Part #: RG1-0931-060

Separation Pad #: RF1-1145-020

These parts are not available thru HP any more but many parts
resellers still carry them, you can probably Google the parts and find
them that way.

Hope this helps.
