3. For the Pickup Assembly: - Check if the paper is curled or wavy. - If YES: Replace the paper.
4. If the issue involves the side deck: - Measure the voltage at GND (–) on the side deck driver PCB: - 0 V when the deck is open - 5 V when the deck is closed - If the voltage readings are correct: Check the lever and wiring. If they are normal, replace the sensor. - If the voltage readings are incorrect: Replace the side deck drive PCB.
5. If a Clean message appears without dust on the glass, check: - ADF feeding belt condition (should not be too solid). - Whether ‘CCD-ADJ’ or ‘LUT-ADJ’ has been properly executed. - If not: Clean the belt and re-execute these adjustments.
These steps help identify sensor or mechanical issues that may falsely trigger a jam error.

Paper jam showing but no paper problem
If a Canon iR8500 shows a paper jam error without any visible paper obstruction, follow these troubleshooting steps:
1. Check the jam location using service mode: COPIER > DISPLAY > JAM. This helps identify the specific area where the jam is detected.
2. Inspect the following assemblies for issues:
- [1] Pickup assembly
- [2] Separation/feeding assembly
- [3] Fixing delivery assembly
- [4] Drum cleaner assembly
- [5] Holding tray assembly
- [6] Feeding assembly
