Hi Leith,
3 1/2 year old brothers=8A they're all the same!!! :-)
I came across a photo-copier site about 18 months ago that talked about
photo-copier jamming. This was an ex-service tech and his assertions was
that "all" jamming (unless there was a mechanical failure [wear and tear??]=
)
could be traced to what he referred to as "cheap or bad" paper stock. Make
sure you have paper with long grain and not short grain [grain going the
length of the paper, which resists bending, rather than grain that goes
across the paper]. Most copier paper sold in local shops is long grain.
I have no idea if this would apply to laser printers or not, but it might b=
e
worth checking out. Also, paper is very sensitive to moisture effects. Unti=
l
it is used, it should be kept in its original shipping wrapper, which on
more expensive brands at least is specially formulated to resist humidity
penetration. If your paper is less expensive or has been unwrapped for a
while, then this may aggravate your jamming issue.
Don't know if this helps or not, but thought I'd toss it in just in case.
