How to fix paper jam and feed problems on an Epson Inkjet Workforce/WF printer

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

If you have a paper jam and/or feed problem with your Epson Workforce/WF- printer then here's how you can easily fix and have trouble-free printing for longer. I have been using a product called AF Platenclene for years, it's great for cleaning print rollers and also helps to preserve the rubber they are made from if you want to buy this solution see the link thanks!

    thank you so much!! I didn't know you could pull out the bit that has the rollers, to clean the rollers. Pulling that out revealed an accordian-folded piece of stuck paper which I cleared, and another sheet behind that (I thought the track was empty... hah!). I used a lint-free cloth just slightly damped to give the rollers a rub, but I think they were actually fine... anyway, paper feed working just fine now! Thanks for keeping it simple!

    Thank you. I kept getting the paper jam error but there was no paper jam. I was at my wit's end because I was trying to copy some paperwork I needed in order to renew my business license. I ended up cleaning my printer with 70% alcohol but I will buy the solution you recommend. Just added it to my Amazon cart. Thanks a bunch.

    @@DanielJohnHowTo I have an Epson WF-2540 into which has been spilled sticky ant bait syrup . My understanding is that the back wall of the paper feed is supposed to move forward to push the paper against the roller, and I think it is stuck and is not doing so. I'm having trouble accessing this back wall mechanism to clean it and/or free it up, so I am thinking maybe I should remove the ant trap from the area and hope the ants come back and eat the bait out of the machine? If not, info on how to clean and/or free up this moveable back wall might be helpful.

    Thank you for your video! After a few attempts, what I found worked for me (which I saw in another video) was to pull each of the ink cassettes out and then push them right back in. On my printer only then did go back into regular print mode. You may have to restart the printer.

    You can avoid getting the chemical on the plastic by applying 1.5 inch or 2 inch blue painters tape next to the rollers before cleaning them. Then, remove the tape after you're done cleaning.

    firstly remove all paper draws and back roller and check there's nothing in there. then if that's good it could be the cartridge assembly is somehow stuck, you can try sliding it all the way left/right and making sure nothing blocks it on the right let me know if that helps

    What about the issue with the wf7720 NOT feeding paper through paper cartridges. It grabs the paper but makes a loud hard CLICK and says paper jam ....I've looked and looked no paper jam. But it will print through the rear feeder. But I can't do the nozzle checks or printing test sheets through rear feeder.

    pull everything out, check and then put it back also try and move the ink cartridge carriage left/right and see if that fixes it, it may be locked so an ink change will let you do that
