Our support works this way. You will receive an email notifying you that there has been a reply to your post, such as this. You read the post, enter your comments in the Comment Text Area Below and you'll get another email when there is another reply.

I will ask you to do one thing, await your response and then give you further instructions.

First of all, with the printer on, and leaving it on, open the cover to the print carriage area. Now, reach over to the right under the cover of the printer and pull the ink carriage to the center.

You will want to use a flashlight to examine the area around the carriage bar for an obstruction. Common items are pencils, pens, paper clips. Additionally, the ink cartridges themselves may not be firmly locked down in place. You may notice this when you reach under and over to grab a hold of them and drag them over to the center.

Should you be able to get this carriage over to the center, check that the cartridges are lock down and nothing is lying in their path on the far right hand side. A flashlight will help you.

Regards,
Worldvet

Had paper jam, removed from back of machine, now display says Carriage Jam Open print carriage access door, clear jam and press ok. I have done this and still flashing up the same msg. There isnt...

If the printer thinks it has a Carriage jam, you might want to try removing the ink cartridges and then putting them back. It's possible they got bumped out of place during the paper jam. Hope you can figure it out!

Put new ink in printer. got the message "carriage jam" checked ink to see if correctly installed...it was. tried to use it again and same message appeared. Did as was instructed on Kodak...

Open the print carriage access door. Check for any packing material that may be blocking the internal components. Check for an orange shipping lock that may still be in place on the left side. Pull the shipping lock out, if present, and discard.

Remove and reinstall the cartridges to make sure they are properly installed. Lift the front center of the print carriage access door to open it. Lift the door up until it locks into an open position. Press down on a print cartridge and allow it to spring back up. Lift the cartridge out of the printer. Do the same for the other cartridge. Slide the black cartridge into the slot on the left and the color cartridge into the slot on the right. Press down on each one to lock it into place. Lower the print carriage access door.

Check the print cartridges to make sure the protective tape has been removed from the ink nozzles. Remove the cartridges from the printer. Remove any tape or labels. Replace the cartridges into the printer.

Push in on the tab on the left side of the clean-out door on the back of the printer to open the door. Lift the door out of the printer. Check for any paper jams. Jammed paper can block the printer cartridge carriage from moving. Pull any jammed paper out.

My brand new hp 8500 wireless office ink jet printer say open the carriage access door clear the jam. We took the small 2 ink cartiages out and put them in again and this keeps come up.What do we do now?...

Why are you taking out the ink cartridges??
The message says to open the carriage access door and clear the jam. The printer thinks that paper is stuck in the paper path, see if you can find it. I believe that there is also a rear door on that printer, remove it and look inside.

My display window says open door. clear carriage jam, and press enter. what is a carriage jam?

A cartridge jam, could be that one of your ink cartridge is not in all the way and causing the carriage to get stuck trying to find "HP". You may try to remove the ink cartridges and close the door / cover and let the printer find home and reinstall the cartridges agian... Good Luck

Carriage jam on HP Officejet J5780 All-in-One

We have several of these in our company and the most common "Carriage Jam" cause is a glob of black ink in the bay on the right side. Once glob is removed, and "Carriage Jam" message appears again, press OK, and it prints fine from then on. Today the black ink glob was flat on top. Watch out for leaky cartridges, as the design of the particular HP device provides a nice catch pan for the tri-color ink cartridge, but not for the black one, so a leaky cartridge, besides being expensive and wasteful, can goop up the bay causing the carriage jam error message to try to get you to take a closer look.

Epson R320 carriage jammed

The ink cartridge is probably not inserted correctly.  Unplug the printer and manually move the carriage to a location where you can take the ink cartridge out.
 
Remove it and reinsert it, making sure that it is fully located, before applying the power.
 
Make sure that there is nothing blocking the carriage movement, such as some remnant of paper.
