Paper jam message...but no paper is jamming system

SOURCE: Clear Paper Jam error -- but there is no paper jam!

Sometimes while clearing the jam (if there was one) you may leave a bit of paper left behind which obscures a sensor causing it to think there is paper still in the paper path, or sometimes even paper dust can do it. Try a bottle of compressed air and blow the path out very well. Get a bright light (good flashlight) and very throroughly eyeball the paper path for any "foreign" objects...

A couple of things.
On the left side of the paper path, there is a registration flag type sensor that a small piece of paper can be torn off on.
Also, if the paper has been caught on that flag, it may be broken.
Carefully look with a flashlight for just a corner of a piece o paper left in the machine.
I suspect possibly the flag has been broken on the registration sensor.

Check the back of the printer. There should be door at the bottom. Your paper jam could be there.

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.
