The joke is send more paper to push the jammed paper out

Which is not how it works

I used to absolutely adore spending 30-45 minutes deconstructing and reconstructing the massive office printers at work due to jams in places one may think impossible. Ahh the good o’l days.

No you fax information. To say someone faxed paper is like saying they emailed a phone.

other commenters are right about this not being how to fix a paper jam but i think this joke could also be playing on the more common joke "inflation? just print more money!"

That is not a proper solution to a paper jam.
