Paper jammed in my new kodak esp 3 printer no idea why this happened. i put the paper in the right way...can anyone help

Turn off the printer and unplug it. Open the top access panel. Inside on the left you will see three round, white gears. Rotate the gear closest to the front back and forth with your finger. If any scraps of paper appear near the rollers, remove them. Close the top access panel. Plug in and start the printer. This worked for a Kodak ESP 3.2.

Fix Kodak ESP Office 2170 gives a paper jam signal

Had same issue with my ESP 9, called up the kodak support lines and spoke to them over the phone, getting a replacement sent out free of charge and I've owned this for 1 year and 4 months and only had one prior printer jam which righted itself in the past. Seems like ESP 9's are prone to the unfixable printer jam.
Best bet call kodak and get it sorted.

Follow the instructions

If you have tried the Kodak standard instructions for clearing the paper jam problem and it did not help try the procedure below. Works for esp 7.
1. Open the printing area of the printer (containing the ink cartridges).
2. The Ink cartridge holder should be to right side of track.
3. Look on left side, below the track for the cartridge that is used to
clean the print heads.It can be identified by a square black pad
approx. 1" sqaure that appears to be made of "felt".
If it is visible this is most likely your problem.
4. To correct problem locate the flat latching lever approx. 3/4" wide that
sticks up about 1/2" above the cartridge. It is locacted just behind
the "felt" square. Gently push lever toward rear which should free the
cleaning cartridge and allow the entir cartridge to move slightly
backward.
5. Close the top of the printer and cycle the printer off and back on.
If this is the problem, the "paper jam" error will now be gone.
This is such a simple fix I do not know why kodak does not inform
customers of this problem and how to fix it.

try pushing the lever that keeps the paper tight in a pile

u should only use kodak inkjet papers with size plain paper, coated paper, photo paper, iron-on, transparency film, label media, greeting cards, 20 to 24 lb. plain paper. open back access door of printer by pulling out the latch on back of printer. remove paper-jam from the rollers. u can find manual for ur printer onwww.kodak.com/go/manuals.

Hello,

It means it has "paper jam"error message. This is a common issue w/ the ESP printers of Kodak especially if its brand new.


Try the steps below.


1.Open the printer access door.
2.Remove the black and color ink cartridges.
3.Reseat the printhead.

a. Lift the printhead release latch
b. Reseat the printhead, pushing firmly on the white label on the printhead (if provided) or the center of the printhead, until it clicks into place.

NOTE: You may also visit www.kodak.com/go/printheadsupport for demonstration on reintalling the printhead

4. Close the access door.
5. wait for the printer to initialize.

If issue persists, the printer itself needs to be replaced. Call 1.800.421.6699

Thanks

Yes, put it in the box and take it back, and don't look back. A paper jam is the least of it's problems. Wait till you keep track of the ink you use: 4 4X6 color pictures, and 85 black printed pages before you have to replace the inks. I know , I have one, 3 printheads replaced, and recently Kodak send a rebuilt printer. Kodak has big problems with this.
Get an HP printer.

1. Remove the paper tray.
2. Disconnect the power cord, wait 5 seconds, then reconnect the power cord.
   NOTE: The printer will reset and eject the paper. If the paper does not eject, try to remove it manually.
3. Replace the paper tray.
4. Press the Print button on the printer to resume printing.
