Will not recognize loaded paper, keeps saying no

hi . if the casete doesn't recognize paper . there may be a problem with the elevator mechanism or with the flag sensors.

There's no way to know for sure but you could try using a thicker paper sometimes you think of paper rather than a cheap copy paper will solve your problem also you have to make sure that the paper is pushed in

Check the paper level in tray 1 and keep the paper within the levels indicated by the arrows on the side. I had this same problem, and although the paper tray accommodates the extra paper, the printer obviously does not like it and defaults to the manual feed.

my printer is saying load original,what does this mean

Hello sir; Make sure you close drawer tight then pay attention on listening the noise when you close the drawer, if quiet that's mean paper lifting motor defect, otherwise go to paper sensor.

I cant print...orange light under alarm keeps flashing...please help...patricia

Changed code for type of paper.

The solution to this is bizarre but worked for me.
In Vista press the windows key and R button. The Run window opens and in the run window type services.msc and then press Enter.
2. Locate Print spooler from the Services window which opened in the previous step.
3. Right click on it and select Restart.

Your printer will print a self-test page but then should be good to go.

Hi, More than likely it could be the paper sensor !!! It recognizes the tray has paper and when the tray is loaded with paper. My suggestion for any dell printers are to take them to your local dump and get rid of it. The only reason I say this is because dell makes these printers where the parts are impossible to get and when you can find them your better off buying a new one!! I know it's frustrating but my suggestion is to try Hp or a diffrent MFG!! Good Luck! Thanks

if u remove papaer from feeder u should c the paper sensor this sensor is located deep inside the printer try to move it (mayb stuck) with a screw or any thing tall then try to aprint again this sensor is responsible for detecting the presence of paper
