#LJ 4V eats paper
3 messages in this thread
We have an HP LaserJet 4V that loves to eat any type of paper that is fed to it
through the manual feed tray. It doesn't matter what it is – envelopes, paper
of any size, whatever, we can't feed it through without it becoming lunch for
the printer.
Is HP aware of this problem, and is this something that other owners are
experiencing? I personally know of two other people who own 4V's who are
having the exact same problem we are. I'm kind of asking on behalf of all of
us.
Thank you,

Vincent,
We have approx. 1,000 4MV's in service and I have not had this problem
reported to me. In our group we have 5 units and all are working fine. Believe
me, I'd be the 2nd to know of any problems <g>.
Is this a brand-new printer or did the problem develop after some time? If
new, check to make sure that all the packing material, spacers and tape have
been removed. Otherwise, I'd have it serviced.

Dick,
We've had this printer since November, '94. It usually takes 2 or 3 tries, and
some creative manipulating to get the paper to feed. It is especially fond of
envelopes, as it just ate 4 of them this morning before I was able to get it to
feed it without jamming and shredding the envelope, but it also loves regular
sheets of paper, too (we do use laser paper).
I'm going to give our HP service technicians a call. The printer is still
under warranty.
