1) Check all the paper jam locations (see "Clearing paper jams" in your printer manual). A piece of paper might be stuck somewhere in the printer. Even a small torn piece of paper in the printer path can cause repeated jams.
2) If you are using a duplexer, check all the areas (including under the duplexer).
3) Check that the paper is correctly loaded in the tray - that all paper tray adjustments have been made, and that the trays are not overfilled. Make sure the paper is under the front and back tabs. (See the section on "loading paper" from your printer manual.)
4) Check that all trays and paper handling accessories are completely
inserted into the printer. (If a tray is opened during a print job, this might cause a paper jam.)
5) Check that all covers and doors are closed. (If a cover or door is opened during a print job, this might cause a paper jam.)
6) Try printing to a different output bin or tray
7) The sheets might be sticking together. Try bending the stack to separate each sheet.
8) If you are printing from tray 1, try reducing the size of the stack.
If printing from the envelope feeder, make sure it is loaded correctly,
9) If you are printing small sizes, feed paper short edge first (see
the "Guidelines for printing custom-size paper" in your printer manual).
10) Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also try rotating the paper 180 degrees.
11) Check the characteristics of the media you are using. Use only paper that meets HP specifications (see the "Paper Specifications" in your user manual).
12) Try using different paper to see if the problem goes away. Do not use curled, deformed, damaged, or irregular paper.
13) Check that the environmental conditions for the printer are met (see the "Environmental Specifications" in your printer's user guide).
14) Avoid using paper that has already been used in a printer or copier.
15) Check that the power supplied to the printer is steady and meets printer specifications (refer to the "Electrical Specifications" in your printer's users guide).
16) Clean the printer and rollers (refer to the "Cleaning the Printer" section of your printer's user's guide).
17) Perform preventative printer maintenance if maintenance is due (refer to the "Performing Preventative Maintenance" section of your printer's user's guide).
SOURCE: Dell 1600 paper jam 1 or no cartridge
Your unit is actually manufactured by Samsung. Most probably you have a bad paper sensor. As a technician, you will find these sensors on the power supply board (SMPS)or main board. If your are receiving tech support from Dell, please illustrate those guys on how to do their job.
SOURCE: HP 4200 printer paper jam. No paper is jammed
check this out....when the printer reports the jam, open the paper tray very carefully and slowly.
Has the paper moved at all forward? Has it moved like 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch out of the tray?
If so, you probabaly need a torque limiter, no tools, $10 or so and a very very easy fix.
POBCM is very correct when he points out that the block/stop in the back of the tray moves when the tray is closed with too much force and this is the #1 cause most of the time.
You may see a "41.3" code displayed if the block is not up to the back of the paper and the paper is not all the way forward in the trays, and under the two metal clips at the front of the tray.

The printer hardware should even this out when printing. You should also ensure
the paper meets the automatic feeder requirements of the printer.
If printing is skewed, feeding multiple pages or jamming, please follow these
instructions (use a regular letter size paper to test after doing the steps
given below):
Please check to ensure there is nothing obstructing the paper feed mechanism
down inside the printer where it is not easily seen. If there is nothing
obvious, unplug the printer and remove the paper. Open the front cover and look
above the steel rod. You should see a conveyor belt with rubber teeth on it,
like a fan belt. Take the bottom part of that belt and move it gently to the
left. The cartridges should come out with it. Make sure the cartridges can move
fully from one side of the printer to the other. Check also the output rollers
on the bottom of the printer for any blockage. If it is jamming under the
carrier assembly, you may be able to fix it using the manual feed slot. Turn the
printer off. Next take a #10 envelope and feed it through the left side of the
paper feed slot (The manual paper feed slot is preferred, but the automatic feed
will do if there is no manual paper feed for this printer) until it comes
completely through the printer to the back of the exit rollers. Move it up and
down and slowly move it over to the right side. If something is stuck under the
black guide plate this may work it loose or you may have to feed the envelope
through the front rollers and push your way backward (please be careful here).
Next, take a damp warm cloth and clean the rubber rollers in the automatic
sheet feeder. Dust may be coating the rollers there and as they become less
tacky, they cannot feed paper correctly.
Finally, turn the printer upside down and carefully shake it for 10 to 20
seconds to see if something falls out of the paper feed path. Then plug the
printer back up, take your paper out and replace it with a fresh, small stack
(about 5 pages) of paper. Quickly bend the stack in an 'S' shape a few times to
separate pages. Make sure it is lined up on the right side of the paper feed and
the paper guide on the left is snug on the left side of the paper. Then try to
form feed again. If that works, then try to print again.
Follow these steps to remove jammed paper from the printer
.
1.Open the print cartridge door, and then remove the print cartridge.
NOTE: Opening the print cartridge door and removing the print cartridge relieves tension on the product rollers, which prevents damage to the product and makes the removal of jammed pages easier.
Figure 1: Open the print cartridge door and remove the print cartridge
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the print cartridge, cover it with a sheet of paper to minimize exposure to direct light.
2.With both hands, grasp the paper where it is most visible, including the middle, and then carefully pull the paper straight out of the product.
Figure 2: Remove the jammed paper
3.Look inside the product for any torn pieces of paper or labels, and then remove them.
4.If any jammed paper remains in the input tray or the output tray, grasp it with both hands and gently remove it.
5.Reinstall the print cartridge, and then close the print cartridge door.

1.Press the Power switch to turn off the product.
2.Wait 30 seconds, and then press the Power switch to turn on the product.
Happy printing.
