I've got a epson WF-4630 printer that want print it tells me i've got a paper jam which i don't or to load paper in the rear but i've plenty of paper loaded in front

Short summary:

  1. Check all parts of the printer for paper jams.
  2. If there is no paper jam, perform a factory reset on your printer by following these steps:
    a. Press the home button on your printer.
    b. Select Setup.
    c. Scroll down and select System Administration. Enter the administrator password if necessary.
    d. Scroll down and select Restore Default Settings. Select "Clear All Data and Settings."
  3. Check if the error message still appears after the factory reset.
  4. If the error message persists, go through all available parts of the printer to check for a paper jam. Here are the instructions for checking the front cover:
    a. Open the front cover.
    b. Check for any piece of paper. Remove any paper inside, including torn pieces if there are.
    c. Close the front cover. If any jammed paper remains near the output tray, carefully remove it.
  5. If you find any paper jam, remove it and check if the printer works correctly.
  6. If there is no paper jam, repeat step 2 and check if the printer works correctly after resetting it.
