paper jam
Stuck sheet problem
A paper jam is a malfunction in a printer, copier, or fax machine where paper becomes stuck in the mechanism and halts operation.
The jam typically occurs when sheets feed crookedly, multiple pages enter at once, or paper crumples inside the rollers.
Clearing a paper jam usually involves opening the machine and carefully extracting the stuck paper without tearing it.
