Samsung Multifunction Printer Error Code M1-1110

The M1-1110 code means the printer has detected a paper jam in the Tray 1 pickup area. The printer stopped because a sheet of paper failed to move through the initial feed zone within the expected time. This is typically caused by a physical paper obstruction, a worn pickup roller, or a degraded separation pad.

No, you should not attempt to force a print job through when this error is active. The printer has halted operation specifically to prevent further paper from feeding into an obstructed path, which could cause deeper jams or damage internal components. Always clear the jam fully before resuming printing.

If the fix requires only clearing a paper jam, there is no parts cost. If the pickup roller or separation pad needs replacement, parts typically range from around $10 to $40 depending on the specific printer model, with additional labor costs if a technician performs the repair. Repeated jams that require a service call can push total repair costs into the $75 to $150 range.

Start by opening Tray 1 and carefully removing any jammed or torn paper, making sure no small fragments remain in the feed path. After clearing the jam, check that the pickup roller rotates freely and shows no visible glazing or cracking on its rubber surface. Reload the tray with fresh, flat paper and ensure the guides are properly adjusted before restarting the printer. If the error returns repeatedly, the pickup roller or separation pad likely needs to be replaced.

A power cycle or reset will clear the error code from the display, but only temporarily if the underlying cause has not been addressed. If jammed paper or a worn pickup roller is still present, the error will return on the next print job. Always clear the physical jam and inspect the pickup roller before resetting the printer.
