When something interrupts that process—like wrinkled paper, dust, or misaligned rollers—the printer detects a jam and stops to prevent damage. Sometimes, the error appears even when no paper is visible. This usually happens because: * A small scrap of paper is stuck inside * The paper sensors are dirty * The rollers have lost grip * Paper is loaded incorrectly Before you panic, remember: most paper jam issues are fixable without replacing the printer. **Printer Tales is just one call away at 1-866-203-7571** ## Common Causes of Paper Jam in Epson Workforce 610 Let’s look at the main reasons your Epson Workforce 610 might show a paper jam error: ### 1. Incorrect Paper Loading If paper isn’t aligned properly in the tray, the rollers may grab multiple sheets or feed at an angle. ### 2. Low-Quality or Damaged Paper Using wrinkled, curled, damp, or very thin paper increases the chance of jams. ### 3. Dirty or Worn Rollers Over time, rollers collect dust and ink residue. When they can’t grip paper properly, feeding problems occur. ### 4. Torn Paper Pieces Inside Sometimes a jam is cleared, but a small piece remains inside the printer and triggers the sensor. ### 5. Sensor Obstruction Paper sensors can get blocked by dust or ink splatter, making the printer think paper is stuck when it’s not. **Printer Tales is just one call away at 1-866-203-7571** ## Step-by-Step Guide: How to Fix Epson Workforce 610 Paper Jam Error Follow these steps carefully to clear the jam and reset your printer. **Printer Tales is just one call away at 1-866-203-7571** ### Step 1: Turn Off and Unplug the Printer Always start with safety: 1.
