How to Clear carriage jam on HP PSC 1610 Printer? No obvious paper jam visible.

Points to there being paper stuck in the feed rollers, if you have cleared the jam, there may be a shred of paper still stuck, try to examine and remove.

If it IS fully clear and the indicatiors still show a paper jam, check the feed rollers are making contact with the paper, that the paper detector has not been bent upwards ( fooling the printer into thinking that there is still a jam).

Try rebooting the printer, if the problem still shows, this is a job for a qualfied technician

If you are getting a 'carriage jam' error as soon as you turn on your printer with no tasks in progress, then check for any piece of paper stuck in the carriage. Remove the paper carefully. If the paper tears, part of it might remain inside the paper path and damage the product.

Follow the steps for fix HP Printer Carriage Jam

• Turn off the printer and open it to see where the paper is stuck.
• Manually move the carriage toward the opposite side.
• Check the paper path and remove any piece of paper or any other object that is stuck in the path.
• Reconnect the power cord and turn on the printer.

the paper you are using is dampy and wet. you need a new paper that is clean and dampy free (i.e not wet) GOOD LUCK

take the carridge out and reload it back in and the paper to.

i cleaned the clear file strip behind the carriage by rubbing it between my fingers and my printer started working again. before that i had paper jam and carriage jam and it wouldn't do any printing or copying.

Try to reset the device by turning the device off and unplugging it for a few minutes - then plug it back in and power back up. Sometimes being powered off will clear the jam sensors.

hve u tried removing the paper jam from a proper place.hp has provided a door behind the printer to clear paper jam.open that door n check out 4 any paper part left out in it.wish u success

You are lucky you can print ANYTHING! My unit has NEVER worked (3 years) due to a hardware defect of HP. I downloaded patches, cleaned/replaced cartridges, etc.
Spoke to HP last nite-Was told printer was junk-they don't carry it or any parts to fix it anymore!! I was told to replace it!

Had this problem, too with HP PSC 1610 AIO, paper would pull in part way and stop, then display would indicate: Paper Jam, Clear Jam and Press OK, but there was no paper in the path at all. Found in HP forums that possibly the problem was a broken off piece that may be called the "x-bias" lever which is on a little spring inside the printer just to the left of the carriage bay on the right side of the device. There are two photos of "broken" and "not broken" at this forum site:

Since HP does not sell the little part to repair it, I phoned HP and got a good "trade-in, trade-up" price for a better device. Hope this helps someone else find the answer to the constant paper jam issue, as I always appreciate the FixYa forum help from everyone else here, too.

Follow the instruction suggested by Hp at the link below. If it makes you feel any better I have done this myself and it works.
