## Understanding the Epson Workforce 610 Paper Jam Error
The Epson Workforce 610 is a reliable all-in-one printer, but like all printers, it uses rollers, sensors, and moving parts to pull paper through the machine. 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.

## 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.
