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.

Paper wont feed

Go to a office supply store and ask for some roller cleaning paper. It's sticky on both sides and thick. Run it thru the printer a couple of times. Should do it.

Paper wont feed in anymore. Tries to feed in but goes in wonky and then jams

Check to see if there are any jams in the printer, use a flashlight to get a good look around.

If you don't see any jams, Shake the printer around to loosen up any debris so it falls out of the printer. Alot of times kids fool around and put things in the printer and sometimes they are in the area where the paper feeds thru. If you do this and the paper still jams up, then that means the gears are worn and you'll have to get another printer because parts wouldn't be available for it.

Paper wont feed through the printer-as it goes thru one corner of the paper crinkles up(right side)

You have a bad fuser unit, very expensive and difficult to replace.

Not worth repairing.

The paper doesnt feed all the way thru the printer

You should try to delete all piece of paper from printer for the further successful work. The Stranger subjects such as pencils and piece of the paper create the serious obstacles on way of the following of the sheet through your device.

Use the lamp for подсветки, tweezers and knack.

Good luck.

Epson R300

First of all turn the printer off & disconnect all of the cables. Turn it over and give it a shake, you'll be amazed at what gets inside the feed hopper. Next try a stiff piece of A4 card (the backing from an A4 notepad for instance), feed the card into the paper feed and push it through quite hard to overcome the spring resistence. Once it has started to go through open the lid and check if it has pushed anything through the rollers. Feed the card all the way through the mech and pull out of the front. Hopefully the card will have cleared the paper path of any objects and reseated the sensors.
Good luck.
