ET 8550 paper stuck

[Emt]

Hi, I’ve managed to get tissue paper stuck in my ET 8550 it’s showing 034004 error code. Ive tried to remove it the usual ways but it’s crumpled and stuck right inside, I can just about see it but can’t get to it. Does anyone know what I can try or which parts if any i can remove to get to it? I was thinking if I could remove the part circled in the photo it may give better access?
Thanks

The service manual could be of help how to open the printer, remove outer case parts etc.

I see that you can look to it online here

Thanks, do I need to download it to be able to read it properly? There’s ad’s popping up all over the place making it really difficult to read any of it.

That's the price you pay for a 'free' manual; you would need to register there or you look for other sources which would charge you - there is a charge between 10 - 20$, just google for 'ET-8550 service manual'.

That's likely to make you sign up for a trial subscription which seems to be very difficult to cancel. See this review.

As you mention it I remember that I registered with Scribd longer time ago for a free trial and exploited that quite heavily. Yes, they were playing some tricks around the cancellation but not much more than some other internet businesses - small print - hiding bottons at the bottom of the scroll areas or in text you normally would not read etc

scribd started as a free document sharing site which users contributed documents to then they decided to start charging people to access the documents users had given them. I have zero qualms about screwing them as much as they screwed everyone else.

This might still work
