No useful ideas I bet.
- ensure you have all the paper out... I've had mine (brother) refuse to operate as it turned out some torn paper was still inside it, even though I was convinced I'd got it all out.. (I flattened out the removed pieces & sure enough I didn't have a complete A4 piece)
- unplug the power & leave it off for some time (maybe an hour). I've had this work too, but it was probably so long ago it was on a dot-matrix printer.... the printer forgot all about it's being tied in knots and just printed when power was eventually restored (10 minutes maybe all that's needed)

i pulled another piece of paper out. plugged it back in and it worked. i dont think it was jammed though. thanks

it does seem to work better if ya pull the paper out the back., to un-jam it....
