hp officejet 6500A plus - paper jams on left side because not being fed properly on that side

[MOAM]

The paper is fed on the right side by the drop down roller.  The left side acts like it hits something that stops the feeding of the paper.  I printed a page fine and the next one wouldn' t feed and none have since.  The paper is fresh out of pack. Is there anyway to get into the area to see if there is something stuck on that side?
