Hi @FDLeo,

 

I'd like to help!

 

Clear jammed paper from inside the printer

Remove any loose or jammed paper from inside the printer.

  1. Turn on the printer.

  2. Open the front door, and then lift the ink cartridge access door.

    2. Ink cartridge access door

  3. Wait until the carriage stops moving before you continue.

  4. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.

       WARNING: 

    To avoid risk of injuries or electric shock, you must disconnect the power cord before reaching inside the printer

  5. Move the print carriage to the far left and far right, and remove any jammed or torn pieces of paper.

  8. Align the sides of the paper path cover to the guides inside the printer, and then slide it into the printer.

  9. Make sure the paper path cover sits fully in place. It should be fully seated without either edge closer to the side than the other.

  10. Close the ink cartridge access door, and then close the front door.

  11. Reconnect the power cord, and turn on the printer.

  12. Try to print. If the error persists, check for jammed paper in another area of the printer.
