Jammed Paper in Printer
Oct 20, 2022 12:25:37 #
The paper got jammed. I can't pull it out. It won't feed. When I open the printer, I can't see the paper to pull it out from there. Any suggestions? The printer is a Canon MG 3620.

IF the paper in the picture is jammed, try gently pulling some middle sheets out, a couple at a time.
Hopefully the ones "pulled" will slide between the ones remaining.
Keep doing this until the total thickness of all the paper is reduced enough to pull the remaining paper out.
This thought is based on the shown paper being wedged in the pickup mechanism.

Tried that. The paper is not in the printer far enough to see it inside. :-(

Here's what Canon has to say about clearing a jam in your printer: https://ij.manual.canon/ij/webmanual/ErrorCode/MG3600%20series/EN/ERR/err_other0100.html?ref=err_other0100

Better watch it. I’m the oldest person in my office and the other day I was on the floor unjamming the printer. My coworker announced that, to quote a TV commercial, I had fallen and couldn’t get up! No respect for us old timers...

I had this to happen also. use pliers or long nosed pliers to SLOWLY grip each sheet and slowly pull any or all sheets or pieces out

You can try pulling it back gently it may also help if you can get the paper in the stack out first. Use as much of your hand as you can. Try not to tear the sheet if you use something like a plier you will end up with little pieces that you will have to find.

I have the same printer. Not sure what all you've tried, but the back opens and you may see the jammed paper from there.

Well, none of the other suggestions have worked and I was really hoping that yours would. Short story: it didn't. :-(

Sorry! I hate mine, but it really does all i need with the occasional document. I don't do enough photo printing to warrant the cost of a good color printer. It scans pretty well, though.

Here's what Google has to offer. You might have to find a couple of screwdrivers.
