Re: Strange jamming at 3025
First, are both tension springs intact in the back? If so then try putting 30 sheets of paper in the cassette and run 30 test pages from it. If it works fine, then fill the cassette to max and try and run that out. If you start getting jams, then the problem is most likely what was mentioned previously by totoro - the rising unit chuck has a split in it. As it attempts to lift the heavier weight of the paper the split widens and reduces the height/pressure against the feed roll but enough to actuate the feed. This is not an uncommon problem, take out the paper tray and shine a bright light on the rising unit clutch and you may very well see a crack in it radiating out from the center shaft. Again, the part # is B209 2780.
If none of these suggestions work and you are sure everything is ok mechanically, I have attached the Detailed Descriptions of how the paper feed works on this model. At the end of it you will find a list of SP adjustments you can make to change the feed pressure for different sizes of paper. But be advised that in all my years I have never had to resort to that.
