UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE

What might cause this?

Similar symptoms can have different causes across models and software versions. These are possibilities, not a diagnosis.

Possible causes

  • A small paper scrap may remain near a sensor.
  • Paper may have been inserted incorrectly or overfilled.
  • A cover or feed path may not be closed properly.
  • Model-specific error-clear steps may be incomplete.

SAFE CHECKS IN ORDER

What can you try?

Try these safe, user-level checks in order; do not open the device. Menu labels may differ by version.

  1. 01

    Step 1

    Stop printing and follow the model manual’s shutdown sequence.

  2. 02

    Step 2

    Remove visible paper only from user-accessible areas indicated in the manual.

  3. 03

    Step 3

    Look for remaining scraps without metal tools, blades or forceful pulling.

  4. 04

    Step 4

    If your model manual specifies it, load A4 paper and use the designated button to eject remaining paper.

  5. 05

    Step 5

    If the error persists, seek Epson support instead of dismantling feed mechanisms.

CHECK THE RESULT

How can you confirm the fix?

A normal test page should print without the warning returning.

WHEN TO SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP

When should you contact service?

Persistent warning with no visible jam requires Epson service evaluation.

⚠ Stop using a device if it overheats, shows liquid damage, smells burnt or has a swollen battery.

POTENTIAL COST

Will a repair cost money?

Settings, cables and user checks may require no repair. Hardware costs depend on the exact model, warranty and service diagnosis; no fixed price is promised.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

Quick answers

Could these checks affect warranty?

Use only external checks recommended for end users by the manufacturer. Opening batteries, electronics or sealed parts can create safety and warranty risks.

What if the steps do not help?

Write down your model, software version and test results. Share those details with official support rather than repeating potentially unsafe actions.
