You might start by giving us the jam number that is being displayed. That number tells us a lot more than what you posted.

Hi

the flap that is part of the interchange, likes to stick, or break apart, as it is made of similar plastic to the fusing covers, and becomes brittle over time. If stuck in the wrong direction it causes jams. if you push the flap it must return immediately, not delayed or slowly, basically jump back.

You also want to check all the guides in the right door itself, in the area of the fusing unit, for similar movement, and that none of the teeth on these are broken off, as this will catch the paper.
