Check the infeed paper path. There may be a small piece of paper or debris blocking the sensor. I've even gone to the degree of turning the printer upside down to remove stuff that has fallen into the feed area. -- Jan Alter bearpuf(a)verizon.net
From: Arthur Entlich on 9 Dec 2009 06:56 Many paper feed problems are not actually the result of mechanical problem with the printer, as much as foreign items getting stuck in the paper path in some manner, so make sure the paper path is clear. I have had reported everything from pieces of torn or partially jammed paper to staples and paper clips, to pens, pen caps, batteries and even cat toys inside the printer and impeding the movement of paper, so use a flashlight and check very carefully for any inappropriate items hanging around where they shouldn't be. If you find the paper path clear, chances are the rubber wheels which advance the paper through the paper transport are glazed. This happens when coated and stiff papers are used and over time the paper coatings and dust accumulate on the rubber parts, making them lose traction, and delaying the arrival time of the paper at the appropriate sensor. This can result in the paper LED going on or flashing, and sometimes a notification on you monitor of a paper jam or no paper in tray. You can try taking a piece of uncoated student watercolor paper and spray either Isopropyl alcohol or ammoniated window cleaner onto the middle area making it damp but not wimp, and leaving a small border around the edge so that part of the paper is dry. Then using the load and eject buttons, load the paper through the printer without printing. Do so several times, turning the paper around and upside down. Allow the printer to dry somewhat and then run some bond paper through several times to help dry off any residual solvents. Try to run the quality paper through the printer so that the more flexible curve goes through the paper rollers rather than the other direction/grain which is stiffer. You can also slightly roll the paper to soften its ability to curve. If this doesn't work you may have to use cotton swabs to manual clean the rubber advancing rollers in the paper transport system. If the problem isn't a code thrown during a paper loading process, it could be a bad sensor, one out of place, damaged or if optical caused by paper dust build up. Sometimes, however, it is just the printer getting "confused". Try unplgging the printer from teh wall outlet (mains) for 24 hours and then plug it back in. This sometimes clears a firmware glitch.

We suppose you mean the Epson Stylus Photo R300 which (since discontinued) may be getting old: so the paper rollers may show signs of wear (depending how many sheets you have printed.) You could try repair sites like www.fixyourownprinter.com to see if roller wear has been recorded for this printer. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |
