Canon / PIXMA MG Series

Canon PIXMA MG3620
has a paper jam.

Canon PIXMA MG3620 has a paper jam? A paper-jam warning can remain after the torn sheet is gone. Remove paper in the feed direction and clear the sensor path without forcing the rollers. For this Canon PIXMA MG3620, pay special attention to Canon PRINT, FINE cartridge seating, and wireless setup from the control panel.

First pass

Try these in order.

Stop as soon as the printer behaves. Each step removes one likely cause without changing settings you may need later.

  1. 01

    Turn it off and open every access door

    Power down normally, unplug it, then check the rear access panel, cartridge or toner path, and output area with a flashlight. On the Canon PIXMA MG3620, use Canon PRINT or the printer control panel for this check.

  2. 02

    Pull paper in the feed direction

    Grip both sides of the sheet and pull slowly toward the output path. Avoid yanking backward against the rollers.

  3. 03

    Reload a small, flat stack

    Use fresh paper, keep the stack below the fill line, and set the side guides so they touch the paper without bending it.

Why this happens

Usually one of these.

  • Canon PRINT, FINE cartridge seating, and wireless setup from the control panel is the model-specific checkpoint to verify first.
  • A small piece of torn paper is blocking a sensor or roller.
  • The paper stack is curled, damp, mixed-size, or over the tray limit.

01

Reset the jam sensor

With the printer unplugged for 60 seconds, rotate only accessible rollers by hand and check that every guide and access door is fully closed.

02

Test with one sheet

Feed one sheet from the recommended tray. If one sheet works but a stack jams, the tray or paper condition is the likely cause. Use the official Canon support page for the exact Canon PIXMA MG3620 package before changing firmware or resetting the device.

Common questions

Before you reset everything.

Can I use tweezers to remove a paper jam?

Only for a loose, visible fragment that you can reach without touching the rollers or electronics. If paper is wrapped around a roller, follow the official service access instructions. On this model, start with Canon PRINT and the official support instructions.

Why does the jam warning stay on?

A small fragment, open cover, or unreset sensor can keep the warning active even after the main sheet is removed.
