How do I fix printer error messages?

I'm getting a 'paper jam' error on my printer, but there's no paper stuck. What should I do?

First, try turning off the printer and unplugging it for a minute. Then, check the paper path for any small bits of paper.

I checked and there’s nothing there. What’s next?

Make sure the paper tray is properly seated and that the paper is loaded correctly. Sometimes misalignment can trigger errors.

I adjusted the paper, but the error is still showing. Any other suggestions?

You can also try cleaning the printer's rollers with a lint-free cloth. Dust can sometimes cause false error messages.

Thanks! I’ll give that a try. What if it still doesn’t work?

If the issue persists, consider checking for firmware updates or contacting the manufacturer for further assistance.
