The first time a paper crinkled upon loading in my new printer it damaged the jam sensor and the paper light was always blinking with no remedy and could not print. Having had Epson send me a rebuilt unit (which was dead on arrival I decided to look for a repair. 1. Turn off and unplug unit. 2. First remove the top cover by carefully popping it off the hinge pins manually. 3. Remove upper housing case– here is how: Remove 4 phillips screws total – 2 just outside of cover hinges and two inside the front of the carriage area – all visible from the top. With a screw small driver – push in through these two holes (works one at a time) while
pulling up on the sensor on the other side). Just above these holes see the catch feet of the sensor – Note: see this printer has
MediaStreet’s bulk ink cartridge feed tubes- so far works great. This is the paper jam sensor removed (with little circuit board removed) I added a drop of hot glue to hold the tiny spring on to the lever – The spring is easily knocked off the lever by a crumpled paper so the glue prevents this.

I had the same problem with my epson stylus photo 895. The situation here is a bit more complicated because the sensor is located quite deep in the printer and you’ll have to unscrew quite a lot. But it is all in all quite easy to do.
1 get the grey outside cap off. You have to unscrew three screws at the back of the printer, and two under the transparant grey cap. The slightly and carefully lift the cap up at the back a bit, and move it forward, in the direction of the front. At the front on the left and right inside there are two grippers holding the cap, but if you do it easy and move the cap to the front, then you’ll manage.
The cap is attached with one cable ribbon to the rest, but it is easy to unplug this.
2 lift up the ink cartridge holder slightly, and move it completely to the left (seen from the front). This will give you space to remove the upper part to locate the sensor.
3 now go to the backside of the printer. There you need to unscrew two screws, to remove the upper module to which the sensor is located. You can see the sensor at the bottom of this module, located at the left (seen from the back).
The first screw is easy: it is located at the left side of this unit, and holds a small (about 3 cm long, 1 cm wide, 1 cm high) metal thing in its place.
The second screw is difficult to find, it took me quite some time to discover it. You can see it coming through the metal holder just behind the brown transport band for the ink cartridge unit, when looking from the front. It is the only screw which comes through the metal holder, and the only screw which as such is visible from the front behind the brown transport band.
To unscrew this one you need to bring your eye at printer level, and look from the back. There’s a white plastic unit (about 6cm wide) on top of the unit to be removed, and there’s a whole in the middle of it of a few cm’s deep, just above the white paper pushing thing. If you unscrew this then you’re almost done.
Then you have to turn to the front and can push out the small clips of this unit which come through the wholes in the metal holder. These are visible behind the brown transport band for the ink cartridges.
4 - then you can lift out the upper unit containing the paper jam sensor. Probably you might need to unplug two small cable ribbons. Turn the unit upside down, and you look straigth into the paper jam sensor.
