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. (On the X83, press the Select 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.

Ok, the paper jam could be due to one of the following:

• Check for paper in the paper tray
• Check the size of the paper in the paper tray to see if it is the same as what the printer is set for.
• Defective D-roller
• Debris in the paper path
• Gears not turning or broken gear
• Defective paper tray
• Broken input sensor flag
• Defective input sensor board
• Defective system cable 2
• Defective system board
• Exit Sensor flag (Fuser)
• Exit Sensor board (Fuser)
• System cable 1

#2 works for an x3470, but jostling the small cylinder that accepts the paper (nudge it gently toward the printer) seems to be what pulls back the microswitch...

Hello there ok Generally when this happens, something has fallen into the printer, or a piece of paper has been jammed in there.

First step, remove the ink cartridge, and turn the printer upside down and gently shake it, see if anything comes out.

If nothing goes, or you can't hear anything rattling around, get a piece of cardstock paper (60lb or heavier) and gently push this through the printer, to see if it will help push out what might be stuck in there.
And gave the rode that the ink slides on a good clean and maybe a bit oil on cloth and wipe the rod with it.

Please come back and just gave a vote, it will gave me some satisfaction to know am helping some one so I will keep on helping.
