Machine is flashing paper-jam. There is definitely no paper jam or any other object inside. It will not take in paper or print. I normally use plain paper but was printing out on glossy photo paper. It printed out one sheet of glossy photo paper but would not accept next sheet. Never worked again.
Any idea if this can be fixed?
Open the printer cover and look closely for tiny paper shreds that might got stuck between the rollers. If you have a canned air, try blowing out the paper path as those tiny piece of paper might be blocking the paper sensor.

Do a printer check by copying on standalone. means placing a document
inside the scanner. Load 10 sheets of regular paper into the feeder
then press the start button to begin copying. Try 2 copies. If it gives
you the same error, then there is already an issue with the gear inside
the printer.

If
it copied successfully, it could be just the paper settings, or the

uninstall and re-install drivers.

Hi
Thanks for using FixYa. If paper doesn’t feed, remove it from the sheet feeder. Fan
the paper, load it against the right side, and slide the left edge guide
against the paper (but not too tightly). Make sure it’s beneath the edge guide
tabs.
■ If
paper jams, turn off your printer, lift up the scanner, and remove any paper
that’s inside, including any small pieces that may have torn off. Carefully
reload paper, turn the printer back on, and press the x Color button.
Caution:
Clear paper jams by pulling the paper out of the printer in
the direction that it normally feeds through the printer (towards the output
tray). Never pull the paper out backwards (in the direction of the sheet
feeder).
■ If
paper jams, make sure the feeder guard is not flipped forward.
■ If
paper jams frequently, make sure the left edge guide isn’t pushed too tightly against
the paper. Also, try loading fewer sheets of paper. The stack should never be
above the arrow on the inside of the left edge guide. Some paper types require
that you load sheets individually, or you use a support sheet; follow the
instructions that came with your paper for specific instructions.
■ If
paper jams frequently, you may also have pushed the paper down too far into the
paper path.
Please do rate the solution and revert for further assistance.
Thanks

Note:
Be sure to check the far left of the carriage area when checking for jammed paper. Paper that is jammed there may be hidden from view.
Note:
If you can't remove the paper or foreign object yourself, do not use force and do not disassemble the Stylus CX.1,191 views
