Videos of how to resolve ADF issues:
Clean ADF unit:
I FIXED IT!
My wife was scanning a ton of old photographs, flipping the lid repeatedly, when the printer started acting flaky, and today it wouldn't run at all. It was the dreaded "ADF Jam" error. The paper feed motor ran at startup, but the ADF feed motor didn't (CLUE). Well, I took it apart, checked all the crevices for paper, then started disassembling. When I got down to the ADF, I started checking wires from the ADF into the control unit .... found one of the motor wires snapped. Soldered in a patch wire, and it works.
Most of the wires are reasonably sturdy, but the wires for the ADF feed motor are pretty thin and brittle. The red and black pair plug into a board where the data cable comes in; the panel slides off rearward after you take out one screw. Several plugs go up to the ADF.

Then there is something stuck in the paper feed path which is holding up the sensor flag making it think there is paper in it.
Or maybe the sensor flag has been broken off by yanking paper out the wrong way when it gets stuck.
Get your vacuum cleaner and stick the hose down the paper feed path and see if it suck out a push pin, piece of paper paper, fur ball, eraser, coin, toe nail, false eye lash etc (all of which I have removed from machines with "paper jams")

I have the same exact problem of paper half torn removed but I can not see the other half anywhere. The printer has hardly worked for at the most six pages and now showing paper jam error. How do I fix it?

I had a very similar problem with the ADF, it resulted in ADF paper jam - message and then in Req Code 2011.
I checked sensors and everything else, then called a epson service professional.
After telling him the Req Code, he knew the problem and said that the problem is the board, which needs to be exchanged, mentioning that this spare part is expensive.
I then checked the whole ADF again, now opening the long grey cover on the backside, I disonnected the connector cable from both sides and - using a multimeter - checked this connector cable for breaks.
Result: the violet cable was broken, so I soldered in a new wire, using the last cm of (old) wire on each side - and now the ADF works fine.
This cable is easy to change if you get the spare part, there is a connector plug on each side, on the ADF side is an additional ground wire (green) fixed with a single screw. Thats it !
For the electronic experts: the configuration of the connector:
sourrounding metal cover = ground, thick green Wire on the ADF side
If you turn the plug that way, that the two single contacts are on top, these are the colours:
1st row: brown - black
2nd row: green - yellow - orange - red
3rd row: grey - violet - blue
Hope this helps

1. Unplug the power and USB cables from the printer. I pried open my
C42UX printer, careful not to break anything. I use a flat blade
screwdriver to pry it apart; there are two-three tabs at the back and
two at the front. Gently push them in, and then using a bit of force
pry apart the cover.
2. Next I removed the two (2) waste ink pads.
They are located at the back on the left hand side. I used the flat
blade screwdriver to lift up the ink pads (they were soaked). Please
use rubber gloves as it gets very messy.
3. Next I took the pads to
the kitchen skin and washed them with just plain hot water until they
were white again. I just let the hot water run on them (the pads are
about three inches long).
4. Once washed I dried them using a hair
drier. (you could place it the sun for a few hours or on top of your
heater or maybe in a heated oven; (make sure you do not set it on fire
with too much heat).
5. Once dried I placed the pads back in the ink waste bin at the back of the printer.
6. I closed the printer cover and put back all the pieces and plugged in the USB & power cable and turned it on. (Yes the lights are still flashing).
7. Go to this link and download this software: http://inkjetprinterhelp.us/epsonSSC.html
8. Install the software and run it.
9. Select your printer and model number ( It only says C42 there is no
UX, choose it anyway).It will ask if you replaced with new pads; say
“YES”. Then close the window.
10. Now right click on the SSC service utility, it looks like a printer icon near your clock in the task bar.
11. Then click on reset counters. You can do all other stuff with this utility too.
12. Turn off the printer power and then turn it on again. If necessary
un-plug the power cord from the back of the printer, wait 20 seconds.
Plug it back in.
13. THERE YOU GO! IT WORKS AGAIN.
14. By the way I use generic ink and I fill my own cartridges. I use ink from www.atlanticinkjet.com. Great stuff.
try this and let me know it worked or not ...

Hello there
You may not see a paper jam.
This may work for you, it has worked for many here I given this advice so gave it a try it could work for you.
Generally when this happens, something has fallen into the printer, or a piece of paper has been jammed in there.
First step, remove the ink cartridge, and turn the printer upside down and gently shake it, see if anything comes out.
If nothing goes, or you can't hear anything rattling around, get a piece of cardstock paper (60lb or heavier) and gently push this through the printer, to see if it will help push out what might be stuck in there.
And gave the rode that the ink slides on a good clean and maybe a bit oil on cloth and wipe the rod with it.
Please come back and just gave a vote, it will gave me some satisfaction to know am helping some one so I will keep on helping.
