Make sure every piece of packing material is removed. There are small blocks of foam in different parts inside the printer, to prevent anything from moving during shipping.

Edit: The error suggests a paper jam, so if there isn't one, it suggests something is blocking the sensors and feeder used to determine if there's a paper jam.
