The printer reported a paper jam that didn't exist. When I removed the upper portion of the paper tray (the part that you would use to load photo paper, it appears that the insides of that part separated from the tray itself. To explain better, what I think used to be in the photo holder is now a separate flat piece with what looks like a flat tooth gear strip on the right, and the paper size adjustment for the photo paper on the left. This is now separated from the housing that use to contain it.
How do I get this back together? The unit won't work until this tray is installed correctly.
Help!

I solved the problem and your document reference helped. Thanks. My issue was that the inside of the photo paper tray had come out of the housing. I managed to horse it back in and ultimately got things working again. Thanks for the help.
