Hello, I have a Kodak EasyShare all-in-one printer and one day I wanted to print something, but the paper got stuck in the printer and I pulled to remove the paper. Since then, the printer shows a paper jam error. I took the printer apart to see if there was any paper left, but I didn't find anything. Please help me, thank you in advance.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 13.0.1

      The same thing happened to me.

      I took the ink cartridge apart and saw that a piece of paper was stuck inside; I was able to easily remove it from the same spot.

      Since then, I haven't had any problems.

    Either you left a piece of paper in the machine, or you blocked a sensor...

    There are several paper jam detection systems. Sometimes they are optical sensors: blowing dry air everywhere can dislodge a piece of stuck paper... Mechanical sensor: these are plastic (quite fragile) paddles that press on a micro-switch to indicate the presence of paper. If at any point in the cycle the micro-switch indicates the presence or absence of paper when it should be the opposite, there is a jam...

    In the event that you haven't broken these plastic paddles when removing the paper, check that they move freely with the passage of a sheet.

    You can use a clear A4 plastic sheet (like those used for report covers) to check for free passage. You can also cut a strip of 3 to 5 cm from this plastic to push any remaining paper that may be stuck behind the driving rollers...

    But be careful, mechanical sensors are very fragile and can break quite easily.
