Kodak 5500 Printer Pa[per jam

Go to kodak.com/go/itg and follow the step by step troubleshooting. If you still get the same error,Time to contact Kodak at 1800 421 6699 and Your printer will be replaced free of cost.

Looks like the sensor for paper jam is causing you problems.
Worst thing is that Kodak discontinued the whole 5xxx series because of all the problems those printers had.

I don't know if you will be able to fix the problem through Kodak support, I guess you will have to give them a call.

Good luck,

If you are getting a 'carriage jam' error as soon as you turn on your Kodak 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.

Fix 'Carriage Jam: Open Door, clear carriage jam, and then press OK to continue' error message
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.

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

The paper size must be set to borderless in both the application (MS Word) and the printer driver. To set borderless printing in the application, follow the steps below.

1. Click File , then Page Setup .
2. In the Page Setup dialog box, click the Paper tab.
3. Under Paper Size, select the appropriate borderless paper size.

To select borderless printing in the printer driver, follow the steps below.

1. In the application, click File , and then click Print .
2. In the Print dialog box, click Properties , and then click the Paper/Quality tab.
3. Select the appropriate borderless paper size.

HINWEIS: Under Paper Type, you cannot choose plain paper and print borderless. Choose photo or brochure paper instead.

replace the ink cartridges first... could be just a cartridge issue...
do a print head cleaning... refer to your user's manual for step by step instructions on how to do a head cleaning on your printer.

paper jammed while printing, removed jammed paper,now printer will not print

Well, here is the proper way of fixing or troubleshooting that paper jam error in your printer

Open the printer access door and remove both of the ink cartridge, then remove also the printhead, after that close the printer access door, without those parts. Then it will show a message in the printer screen, "Printhead is missing or has come loose" or "Printhead Not Detected" Install the printhead, just the printhead without the ink cartridges. After that close the printer access door. Then it will show you a message"Ink cartridges is not installed,install ink cartridges". then open again the printer access door, then install the black ink cartridge without the color ink cartridge. then close the printer access door, then message must be " Color ink cartridge is not installed, install color ink cartridge" then install the color ink cartridge." the message must be,"New printhead is detected calibration require, load paper and press start"

Thats the way of overiding the paper jam error message of your kodak all in one printer
