Paper jam I have taken the back off, opened the top scanner, removed the tray and taken out the jam. Unplugged it and tried running card stock through it, but still it says paper jam and does not sound good either. HELP!!!

try to run a piece of card stock through it so it pushes out any debris that may be in the paper path

I would try manually inserting the paper for the back side. Most of the time it's best to wait a few minutes before trying the back side to give it time to cool so it will lie flat.

You are receiving this error message because there is a paper jam or the top (photo) tray is not securely in position and the printer cannot initialize. This error message can appear for an ESP 7, ESP 9, ESP 7250, or ESP 9250 all-in-one printer.
To resolve a paper jam, we have an easy Step-by-Step Solutions and Repair tool. Within the tool, select All-in-one printer, then Paper jam.

When you clear the paper jam:

1. Make sure you open the paper output tray and inspect the top tray for photo paper that could be jammed inside or that remains in the nip at the entrance.
2. Pull out the bottom paper tray and clear any paper jams.
3. Remove the duplexer from the back of the printer and clear any paper jam.

NOTE: Curled photo paper could induce a paper jam. To prevent curling:

• Store un-printed paper in a tightly closed plastic bag or in its original packaging.
• Store sealed packages of paper flat, and not on
• When you are ready to print, take only the paper intend to use immediately.

To remove curl in photo paper:

1. Place the paper in a plastic bag or in its original packaging.
2. Gently bend the paper in the opposite direction of the curl, then insert it into a tube-a paper towel tube works well.
   
   NOTE: The tube should be larger than 1.5 in. (4 cm) in diameter.
   
3. After a few minutes, remove the paper from the tube.
4. Remove the paper from the plastic bag or packaging.
5. Verify that the curl has been removed from the paper. Repeat the steps above if necessary.

If the top paper tray is not securely in position and the printer cannot initialize (you may hear a grinding noise, and the top paper tray will not open), contact Kodak.

Is it an ink cartridge jam

Please follow steps below : STEP: Disconnect and Reconnect the Printer Power Supply
Unplug the power cord from the wall socket. Disconnect the power supply from the back of the printer.

Wait 15 seconds.


Reconnect the power supply to the back of the printer.


Plug the power cord back into the wall socket


STEP: Raise and Lower the Scanner Assembly on the Printer


Lift the lid of the scanner until the locking bar catches to move the ink cartridge carrier to the center position.


Release the locking bar and close the scanner assembly.


If the ink cartridge carrier fails to center, repeat steps 1 and 2


Scanner Assembly Open but Without the Cartridge Carrier Centering


STEP: Check to See if the Ink Carrier Latches Are Open


Open the printer.


Check inside the printer to see if the cartridge carrier latches that hold the ink cartridges down have popped open.


Close the carrier latches


STEP: Remove any Torn or Stuck Pieces of Paper from the Input Tray and Output Tray


Disconnect the power brick from the back of the printer.


Lift the scanner unit.


Look down inside the printer and remove any torn or stuck paper from the input or output tray by pulling firmly.


Close the scanner unit.


Reconnect the power brick to the back of the printer


STEP: Clear Obstructions From the Input Tray


STEP: Fan the Paper


Grasp the **** of paper at one end (Figure 1).


Place your thumb on top of the opposite end of the paper and fan the paper like a deck of cards.


Flex the paper back and forth, and then fan it.


Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface.

Additional Information


It is quite possible for objects such as pens, pencils, paperclips, and other small items to fall into the paper input tray causing paper jams to occur. Follow the below steps to try and clear any obstructions that may have fallen into the printer.


Caution:


The next steps involve lifting the printer and turning it upside down. Only perform these steps if you are willing and able to do so.


Remove all paper from the input tray.


Unplug the power brick from the back of the printer.


Unplug the USB cable from the back of the printer.


Lift the printer up and turn it upside down.


Caution:


Make sure that you are holding onto the scan bed to prevent it from falling open when the printer is turned upside down.


Tilt the printer from side to side while it is upside down to see if any obstructions fall from the input tray.

There are possible 2 places for the paper jam, either the Feeder has jammed or from the input tray.
For Feeder, you just have to open the feeder from the top and see if there are any pieces sticking in.
Else, you can open the print head cover and look for pieces of paper jammed in it.
Another place you may see is by removing the rear of the printer, it is called a duplexor which can be taken off easily. You may find some bits of pieces in rear of the printer.
To avoid getting another jam, try to keep the paper in a cool and dry place. If the paper absorbs any humidity, it starts crumpling which results in paper jam. You can also try fanning the papers before putting in a bunch and use a recommended paper for the printer.
Hope this helps.

Please double check if all doors, including the paper tray cover, are firmly (repeat FIRMLY !) closed. Seemingly all such are designed as precautionary measures for safe operation.

Hi,

card stock is tricky to run do you have a bypass tray this is not a paper tray it is a tray where you can put 1 or 2 copies of paper in it? It is on the side of the copier if you have one try that.

Good Luck

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

Fuser's orange roller is not meant to be wrinkled, if this is then I would recommend you replace it (just slides out) pic below
If printing on card, you need to feed via manual bypass and exit from the back, not on the top, aka the "face up tray." Tray pulls out from rear. Rear tray will only stack a few card sheets at once.

Setting on printer's control panel must be set to card/heavy paper type on manual bypass tray

Their may still be some card in fuser causing jams.
