so did you check the flag for paper out in the tray?

What have you done?

Did you visually check the plastic flag?

Did you run sensor check in SM?

this is covered in the SM. Do you have one?

The flag moves feely , i have not checked the sensor in sm mode but i will do so when i get back there. Also the tray is not broken. I have a service manual, did not have it with me at the time.

Just to be clear you are getting this message at the machine? I had a couple Ricohs with that message showing up on the PC after Microsoft had generously injected their own driver over the installed ones. Reinstalling the drivers solved it in my situation.

This message is on the machine not on the PC.

I have had entry level machines where the switch would go bad and cause that. If I didn't have a switch with me I would bypass the switch so the customer could use the machine until I could get back the nest day. Just told them if they got a jam message to check if the paper was out before calling me.
