[Jamming] Sharp MX-4141N Phantom Paper Jam

[hanfordzucc]

Sharp MX-4141n. Everytime I use the ADF to make copies/scan/etc it will give a misfeed error code. Machine prompts to open the door and check for misfeeds, however nothing is ever there. If I simply just lift the door and close it, the error clears.....however it does it everytime. Any pointers on what may be causing this?

How many clicks on the MFP? How many scans though the document feeder? Have you cleaned sensors? When was the last time a DF kit was installed?

Like copiertec said check your rollers & sensors they can be checked in Sim 2 if you are an end user you should call your tech, you can break a lot of expensive things not knowing how.

Does it start to feed the paper in or does it say jam right when the start button is pushed?

Re: Sharp MX-4141N Phantom Paper Jam

What is the jam code? If it is SPPD5 then check that sensor, it tends to hang up and will cause this situation. Have also had small bits of paper get into the SPPD3 sensor area and cause a similar problem.

Good luck.

Like bilyahn said...What is the jam code? Not a whole lot of info to go on? What have you done? What are the parts counts? It is extremely hard to diagnose over the internet without any pertinent info.......

This series did have sensor problems but with no code no can help!

Check the error codes in the Sims - 22-6 print out (if I remember correctly).

Agreed. Certainly enter the SIMULATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Sharp MX-4141N Phantom Paper Jam

It seems you want an easy answer for the misfeeds. Misfeeds are caused by several things 1. worn rollers replace them. 2 dirty sensors clean them. 3 objects in paper path remove them. 4. defective components sensors, motors, clutches, boards. replace them. You start by looking at sims and finding what code is being shown then go to manual and find out what code means usually it will say a specific sensor is not being activated at the correct time or that it is activated when it shouldn't be . Test components with sims and observe what is happening if paper jams and has a dent in lead edge then maybe there is a paperclip blocking it. If you are an inexperienced tech you need to get with a more experienced one & have him guide you. If you are an end user you need to pay someone who has the training to solve your issue.

Good luck

One last thought. This unit has a single pass duplexing document feeder. I had a customer that was not latching the door when she closed it. It will run somewhat in that condition. Push the door down and listen for the latch to click in place.

SIM 23-2 will give a much better and more detailed error report.

Re: Sharp MX-4141N Phantom Paper Jam

thanks everyone! ok, getting somewhere. In service mode, Im finding error code sppd1_n. Trying to asertain if this is more of a dirty sensor or a habitual issue on these machines. Any pointers?

I would use the search feature on this site, if I were you:
