Cannot Locate Paper Jam In A Pixma TR4720 Printer

I'm having trouble locating the paper jam in my printer.  I have opened up every area possible, looked under the ink cartridges to no avail.  I have also gone online for help, but they proved to be a waste of time and not at all helpful.  Can someone tell me where else I should be looking for the paper jam?  I have opened up the back of the printer but do not see any paper in there, either.   I don't want to pay a computer person to come out to fix the problem and then charge me all kinds of money for what is probably a 10 minute job.  Can somebody help????

Hi,

If no paper jam is found after checking the front of the printer or rear cover then I recommend performing a reset of the printer. While the printer is on, unplug the power cord from the printer. While the power is off, press the power button 5 times. After 60 seconds plug the power cord back in and power on the printer..

If you still get a paper jam error, the printer would require service. 

If the printer is in it's 1 year warranty, I recommend reaching out to Canon support for your warranty options. You will need to register your Canon gear HERE to access additional support options.

If the printer is out of warranty, you would qualify for the Canon Upgrade program. This is for out of warranty units which have been diagnosed to require service or are incompatible with a new or upgraded system. This program allows you the opportunity to purchase a replacement product discounted from the list price. Free ground shipping is included with your purchase.
