Paper Jam but No Paper: Safe Checks

A paper-jam message can persist after a sheet is removed. Check the exact tray and path named by the printer before probing internal sensors.

First check

Read the full code and the model-specific manual.
Remove accessible loose sheets in the direction the manual shows.
Check the input tray, rear access and output path for small scraps.
Close every cover firmly and retry a printer test page.

What not to force

Do not reach into hot fuser areas, use sharp tools, bypass interlocks, or disassemble a sensor. If paper is not visible in user-accessible areas, contact official support.
