Hello how are you Take the tray out on the bottom and see if there is a piece of something in there. Mine does this sometimes. Also on the back there is a drawer open this up and check. Have you taken out the toner yet. Do this and once you check every area as described turn power off to it and leave off for min. Then power back on and push cancel button about 5 times let me know if this works for you. It does for me

SOURCE: False Paper Jam Message

Probably a jam sensor is dirty or stuck. Look through the paper path for a stuck plastic sensor arm, or dirt or paper dust on photocell typr sensors.Paper sensors are normally located near where paper feeds, and where it exits the machine. The paper must pass over these sensors as it travels through the machine.If a scrap of paper is left on the sensors, they will report it as a jam. If you can, try manually pushing a sheet of paper through the printer, ONLY in the direction it normally feeds. This may free up a stuck sensor arm, or force out the jammed scrap.

Press the stop/clear button then press the maintaince button(spanner) and the ON button all at the same time in that order.That will reset it.It should work after that.Hope this helps you.

Epson Photo RX510

Hi when you switch it on have you tried holding down the on off button for about 10 seconds as this often resets most printers.
Also when you sya thier is no paper jammed in printer are you absolutely sure their is not even i tiny bit of paper still stuck as it only takes a tiny bit of paper to make this message appear.
If you are confident in removing the paper feed witch is difficult to do as you need to make sure it goes back perfect as if it isnt the paper wont feed.
Alot of people say their is no paper jammedand they call somebody out to repair the printer and they get charged a fortune for removing a tiny bit of paper.
If holding the button down dont work then try switching the plug on whilst holding down the on off button let me know how you get on ok

Epson rx585 paper jam message but no paper jammed.. how can i fix it?? tried switching it off unplugging etc and its still the same..

The micro-switch that detects a paper-jam is still detecting a paper-jam.
Either there is paper-dust in the switch, causing the "false-positive" indication,
or the micro-switch is broken, or there really is a paper-jam that you have not detected.

Check the micro-switch, and look again for a paper-jam.

Paper jamming in rx585

1. Turn the printer off and open the access cover.
2. Look for any obstructions in the paper path and remove them if necessary. (It is possible to move the carrier assembly with the power off.)
3. Turn the printer on, load some paper, and press the Form Feed button.
4. Watch the paper as it feeds through and try to determine where the jam is occurring.
5. Check to see if all the rollers are turning.

If all the rollers are turning, there may be something in the feed path that you can't see. Go to step 6.
If not, there is probably a feed motor or a gear problem and the printer may require service.
6. If the paper is jamming under the carrier assembly, you may be able to fix it using the manual feed slot.
7. Turn the printer off.
8. Take a #10 envelope and feed it through the left side of the manual feed slot until it comes right through the printer to the back of the exit rollers.
9. Move it up and down first, and then slowly move it over to the right side. If something is stuck under the black guide plate, this may work it loose.
