I got the following more helpful response from Parts Now: "It sounds like you may have an input sensor that is not actuating correctly I would look at input sensor #1 and see if it is moving correctly. It could be a bad sensor that # is 40X1323. In a worst case it could be a system board # 40X1305."
I have a Lexmark 6500 series and I cleared all papers and it still say paper jam.
