Take off the right panel of the printer.
The arm on the solenoid latches on to a white cam. There's a black pad on the solenoid that gets gummy and sticky, this causes the arm to not release quick enough to latch on to the cam.
I cleaned out the sticky gunk between the solenoid and the arm...
I found another solution that worked perfectly!
I shortened the spring on the paper sensor exit flag, I messed with the tray full flag, I messed with the maintenance kit sides etc..
But when I figured out where the solenoid was and putting a piece of paper between in and that metal exit...
I've been through a bunch of forums trying to figure out why my 850 prints a page and gets jammed on exit, only with thicker paper.

Ok I took a look at the output tray flag both where the paper pushes it up and the flag part the goes inbetween the sensor.
I don't see any nothches. Where should I be looking? Is there a piece of tape or something I can put on it to prevent that from happening with that thicker paper?
I have an 850 that has been sold for a few years. But alas I fear it is wearing out.
It prints fine with regular thickness paper, but jams on exit with thicker paper.
Yes, I know use thinner paper. I've shortened the flag spring under the exit door but it still doesn't like this paper.
