Paper is drawn in to the printing position. It then stops and the message comes up "paper jam". There is no paper jam. I have removed back cover, paper tray, top cover, in fact everything I could remove to find this bit of paper. There is definitely no paper jammed, not even a microscopic amount, but still it says "paper jam".
The paper is drawn through if I press the re-set button, but it will not print for toffee and still tells me it is jammed.
Please someone, tell me how I can convince it there is nothing there.
Thanks, your suggestion led me to the solution, the jam not in the rollers or a senser, but it's in the dock of the printer head, when the printer head moved across, I shone a torch into the dock and saw a black thing, so eventually pulled it and realised that it was paper and it had been dyed black by the ink so that's wht it would be hard to spot!!!! Thanks again
Norman, does the printhead run smoothly to the left side of the printer when it is powered on? If the printhead cant run that freely, it will give you the paperjam message. You have to dismantle the printer again, connect the scanner and cables again when top cover is removed. Press the scanner open contact (opposite to the menu button) and watch the printhead run to the left side. It might be that either the printhead stucks somewhere on its way (press the cover of the printhead. It might be the reason) or the guide rail hinders the printhead to move.
