This is my first post, and I am hoping that you pro's can help.
I bought a Canon IR 3570 from a bank repossession auction. There were several former employees in attendance, and all told me "that is a good copier." I don't have any reason to not believe them. They were the back up bidders on the machine, as I learned later.
Now that I have bought the machine, the paper jams with every copy. This is happening with 8 1/2 x 11 copies, but not with 11 x 17, which pulls thru and copies very well. It is not jamming on 8.5 x 14 either, and ran 60 copies without problems.
It is jamming on both tray 1 and tray 2 with 8.5 x 11 stock.
When it jams, again on every copy, the display screen shows the right door needing to be opened. I am opening it, as well as the tray beneath it, to reach the paper that is stuck.
The paper is unprinted, and basically in perfect condition, most of the time when removed. All four edges are straight and smooth. It is not accordian folded, printed, ripped, or torn. It looks like you could easily put the paper back into the tray.
I do not know what the paper stock is, but it looks like cheap 20# from a wholesale club.
It is not showing any codes now that I have moved the machine home. It did show a code 2140(???), but then ran the 60 pages of report on 8.5 x 14. I wish I would have written down the code when it was thrown.
Is there any way you can help me trouble shoot this machine in plain English, in a step-by-step method?
FWIW, I am trying to help myself, and not afraid of learning or working. I have taken a beating in this economy, and simply cannot afford to have a Canon boat anchor sitting around. My wife is mad as a hornet that I bought the copier. My Dad is extra mad that I have it sitting in his garage, taking up valuable space. I have taken some ribbing from other family members over this ordeal, and am feeling a bit desperate.
You guys ever feel like you are up against a wall, so to speak, and have the ceiling collapsing on you too?
Thank you for any assistance you can offer. I am truely appreciative of your time.
Since this is a forum for professional techs, I will understand if you want me to politely disappear.
Again, thank you!!!!!!!!
