A 'Paper Out' error indicates the printer isn't detecting *any* media. A 'Media Jam' error means the printer has detected media, but it's stuck or misaligned in the media path. 'Paper Out' is a detection issue, while 'Media Jam' is a physical obstruction issue. The troubleshooting steps are different for each.
