The mp470 printer keeps saying it needs paper when it doesn't and it says the paper is jammed when its not

Hi

There is something stopping the paper feed process. Try the following
1. Check and make sure nothing is fallen inside the paper tray
2. Remove anything stuck
3. Even if you are not able to see anything stuck tray to use a air blower and blow air in the tray this will remove anything stuck.

Solutions List:

• Press ON/OFF switch to reset the multifunction device
• Remove paper jam MP470
• The MP470 may require repair

If you need more help come back.

Hello my friend,first thing we are going to check is if its a jam inside from a foreign object.So

1. Power the printer off.
   
   
2. Open the paper support and confirm that there is not any foreign material in the auto sheet feeder.
3. Open the scanning unit (printer cover) and confirm that there is not any foreign material in the printer.
   
4. Close the scanning unit (printer cover).
5. Power the printer on and confirm that the printer operates normally.

But in this procedure be very careful and don't push hard anything!

Normal 0 I suggest you get a sheet of Card Stock (Heavy paper) and place it in the feed way. Then press the print button applying a slight amount of pressure on the Card Stock so it will feed through the printer. The reason for this is in some cases I have been able to clear the paper track of debris that was deposited there over time.
Worth a try, as I have fixed a number of printers this way, saving costly repairs.
Hope this helps. Bud
