I got an error message that paper is jammed inside and I should turn it off, open scanner and remove the paper. The thing is, there is nothing in there. Last time I used the printer I removed some paper which has been stuck in there for ages and my printer worked fine even though, but now there is nothing in there and I can`t get the whole things working...

check the sensor

Hi

Does the message shows after few pages scanning or is there any panel error message like J-1 on scanner start up?

If the issue occurs during scanner start up, then there are staple pins or dirt might be stuck inside the US Sensor panel inside the scanner. Cleaning and removing the objects will resolve the issue.

If the error occurs after few pages scanning, then you may have to check the Pick Roller, Brake Roller, Pinch Roller and US Sensor FX status. you may have to replace any of the above, if damaged or worn off.

Hope the above info is helpful.

Please check your device first and get back to me.

Thank you.
