Don't panic with jamming next week. 99% of schools leave paper in their machines ALL summer. It's so damp you could wring it out and drink from it

I find that interesting. 99% of the schools I am familiar with never keep paper in their copiers. The teachers have to supply their own paper. Some schools do supply each teacher with one ream. Once they have used that, if they need more it comes out of their own pocket.

Jip know the feeling. Imagine all your schools have KM B601 machines!
Whatever
We run into both here, paper that had been sitting in the machine all summer, yes there will be a lot of calls for that, and teachers carrying their paper to the machines. The machines were not really designed to have paper loaded and unloaded for each and every use, we see a lot of things being broken/worn out that you would never see in a print shop. A lot of the teachers are not machine friendly people.
"jamming, huh? ... I wonder why?

If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

Oh yes I remember well a certain restaurant that had a small desktop copier. They had an office next to the kitchen where they had the copier. Of course there were three steam kettle soup systems within fifteen feet of the door and the copier. I took paper with me and showed them how fresh dry paper made better copies and did not curl as badly as theirs did. So bad at times the exit sensor flag was not touched by the paper, Yes the copies were so curled they actually would roll up into a complete tube at times. Eventually they did move the machine out of that location and viola their calls for paper jams went to zero and even they noticed the copy quality improved.
Then three years later ran into the same type of problem at a school where the teacher work room and cafeteria kitchen were next door to each other and actually had double doors between them. They had a fifty cpm Kyocera with a large capacity tray machine and just could not seem to understand why the machine made the paper curl like it did. Especially when the same model machine in the main office didn't. Actually had the vice principle follow me when I took paper out of the teacher copier and put it in the "working machine" and it curled and jammed within five pages. Took paper from their office and she followed me back to the teacher work room where I ran off a 50 page job a teacher needed as a test with paper from the main office. Two minutes later put the original paper back into the teacher work room machine and it jammed within ten pages.
Eventually the teacher work room was moved to a better location and paper jam calls disappeared.
