New Printer Paper Jam.

Just installed sx130 Epson and tried to print. It made a strange noise and shows paper jam.
I cannot see any paper even though I have looked inside!
What can I do now?
I did not think I had loaded the paper correctly but the instructions are very vague!.

    I just installed a new printer last week epson 235 think it mentioned this in installation ,I would go back over vague instructions or look on line for further information .
    If no joy ,Iwould uninstall then install again but check instrutions.
  • Thanks Ellie I will give it a try.
  • Tried reinstalling but all lights flashing!!!!!!!!!!
  • Could the Printer be faulty, I did not see paper going in?

    Open it up and clear the paper path of any debris.
    Can you run the head cleaning routine?
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • Cannot head clean. Message says Remove all foreign objects from Printer.All I can see under the glass is a slotted tape which I think is part of printer.Looking inside paper path from back and front I can't see anything.All three lights at front flashing and nothing will clear them.

    Open the access hatch to the print carts and inspect from there, you can't see right through it just from looking at the paper feed and exit slots.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
  • Do I take out the cartridges out? (Sorry for being so thick!)

    Not unless it helps you to access the paper path.
