Keep Getting Paper Jam Prompt. No Paper Jammed!
Love my lexmark x5070, but it won't feed paper. Keeps giving me a paper jam prompt. I go through the motions of removing the paper, but there is nothing there and it still won't feed the paper. What do i do. I have tried unplugging it, too. Still doesn't clear it.

Leading cause of paper jams is debris / foreign objects that accidentally fell into the paper feed area. Please try this approach to fix the problem:
- Remove the sheets of paper from the feeder.
- Grab a flashlight and look inside the feeder for any debris or foreign objects.
- If you're willing and physically able, you may also carefully turn the printer over. Any debris should just freely roll out from the feeder.
- If feeder is clear, place the printer on the table. Open the printer cover and remove the cartridges.
- Check the cartridge area for any obstructions in the paper path.
- Close the printer cover.
- Re-brick your printer by pulling out the power supply - the black box where the power cord is plugged into. Re-plug after 30 seconds.
- When the printer turns on, reinsert the cartridges and load some paper. Try to print again to verify that the problem is fixed.
