After you look inside on the right and left sides where the carriage travels for any paper scraps, you can unplug and plug back in while you hold the stop button and it might clear the error.

Sometimes the 240C gets caught up in the jam condition and won't clear. You have to turn the printer off manually and then turn it back on -- hold the power button down for a few seconds. If the printer won't shut down, pull the power cord, wait a couple of seconds, and then reinsert it.

Usually small pieces of paper are jammed at the print head area. Lift up the scanner and see if you can find the paper at the print head parking area, clear the paper . If you can't find the paper, remove the scanner cables, then the scanner. You will see 2 screws at the rear and one near the USB connection. Another 3 screws towards the front will remove the front panel. Under the panel remove 4 screws and the two panel harnesses. The is a speaker harness which you must remember to attach back later (most people don't remember to put back). Lift up the top cover and you can see the whole engine. Clear any pieces of paper that might be there.
