epson R3000 w/ufo base paper jam issue..

My diy r3000 gives me error, says remove paper jam, it gives direction how to do it, I follow the instructions,, after that it sends the try out and sends it back. However after going through all the motions it keeps telling me the same thing. I even unplugged the printer,,, back to the same message, can't seems to get around it.
At the very first I heard gear grounding, so I shut the printer off, also noticed the the encoder wheel with the red mark on moved way over to around the 2 o clock position. I got the wheel moved back to the 9 O clock position, still getting the same message (remove paper jam) any advice???
