X5470 jammed How can I get inside the thing to clear mangled paper?

Leading cause of paper jams is debris / foreign objects that accidentally fell into the paper feed area. Please try this approach to fix the problem:

1. Remove the sheets of paper from the feeder.
2. Grab a flashlight and look inside the feeder for any debris or foreign objects.
3. If you're willing and physically able, you may also carefully turn the printer over. Any debris should just freely roll out from the feeder.
4. If feeder is clear, place the printer on the table. Open the printer cover and remove the cartridges.
5. Check the cartridge area for any obstructions in the paper path.
6. Close the printer cover.
7. Re-brick your printer by pulling out the power supply - the black box where the power cord is plugged into. Re-plug after 30 seconds.
8. When the printer turns on, reinsert the cartridges and load some paper. Try to print again to verify that the problem is fixed.

Hi, In the following link are some tips and a good document on how to clear and how to check if there is something blocking the way of the paper and how to properly load the paper to avoid paper jams.

try taking all of the paper out and then just print one sheet.

also make sure that it is new paper, lays flat and that you have fanned it prior to inserting it in the printer.

Make sure there is no paper stuck somewhere inside the printer. Sometimes what happens is that a when a paper jam occurs at the moment when you try to take the jammed paper out a piece could have stayed inside the printer or otherwise a sensor may be malfunctioning or not working properly.

do a maintenance task on your printer.
do a roller cleaning, paper feed, etc.
or you can do a reinstall on the driver =)

then check out the roller by dismantling the printer. check if the roller has jammed in one side where the paper does not get inside..

try to open the cover and reseat the ink.
the machine is trying tell you there is something stuck inside where the switch or the senser is located. usually right before the heater path. after the paper pickup roller.

make sure the machine is clean inside and you have the right paper
