Usually, if you open the printer as if you were opening it to replace the toner, you will be able to see the feeder rollers. Most of the time this is where the jam would be.

*at your own risk* most printer you will be able to manually advance the rollers to feed the jam through the printer. This might be a way of getting enough of the paper jam to get a hold on it.

Also, you might want to clean the rubber part of the rollers if these get dirty, they will jam more often. To clean them is it best to get a slightly damp wash cloth and clean them with the wash cloth. Please verify that the printer is unplugged, and that the rollers are completely dry before you plug it back in.

The Paper Jams

Press the font29.gif paper button to eject the jammed paper. If the error does not clear, turn the printer off, open the printer cover and the CD/DVD guide. Remove all of the paper inside, including any torn pieces, then close the CD/DVD guide. Reload the paper, then press the font29.gif paper button to resume printing.
r_note.gif Note: r_space.gif If you cannot remove a foreign object easily by yourself, do not use force and do not disassemble the printer. Call Epson for assistance.
If your paper jams frequently, check the following:
  • The paper is smooth, not curled or wrinkled.
  • The paper is of high quality.
  • The printable side of the paper is face up in the sheet feeder.
  • The paper stack was fanned before loading.
  • The paper is not loaded above the triangular load-limit mark on the left edge guide.
  • The paper stack fits under the tabs inside the edge guides.
  • The number of sheets in the paper stack does not exceed the limit specified for that media.

Paper feeder stuck

If the paper feeder stuck, do the following:
  1. Gently pull any jammed paper out from the output tray or sheet feeder.
  2. If paper is stuck inside, open the printer cover and remove the jammed paper, including any torn pieces. Then close the printer cover.
  3. If paper remains near the sheet feeder, press the paper feed roller lever inside the paper feeder to release the jammed paper, then carefully pull it out.
  4. Load the paper correctly.
  5. Press the cp_button_14.gif stop button to resume printing.
  • If the printer continues to jam or misfeed paper, and you are certain that there are no foreign objects lodged down inside the paper feed area, your printer may require service. Please call Epson technical support for further assistance.

    My epson dx4400 is saying that there is a paper jam but there is no paper inside the printer

    There might be little pieces of paper jammed or stuck inside or in between the printer's rollers. Try to look for those and remove them. Sometimes, these small papers blocked the printer's sensor and thus it detects them as jammed paper.

    My Epson LQ-590/LQ-2090 keeps having paper jams located just beyond the tractor feed.. help

    When a paper jam occurs during printing for some reason, the printer beeps, displaying the message <PAPER JAM> in the display. When a paper jam occurs, remove the jammed paper using the following procedure, and then resume the job. If the message that indicates the paper jam does not disappear even after removing the jammed paper following the procedure, there is a possibility that torn pieces of paper are still left inside the printer. Inspect each part of the printer again, and completely remove all pieces of jammed paper.
