There is an error message about a paper jam in tray 1.  There is and never was a paper jam.  Help!

Here are a couple things that helped when I had that problem.

1. First unplug power to the printer, wait a few seconds and then plug the printer back in to AC power. Sometimes the software gets hung up.

2. If that doesn't work, see my post "Fake Paper Jam Solved" posted 12-07-2021 in "Printer Paper Jams..." My printer is a different model but they all have some sort of sensor that signals a paper jam - either a real paper jam or fooled by something else, like ink.
