Screen blank; doesn't print; can't get the lid in

Check there is nothing in the fuser at the back, and that the fuser will turn (CAREFUL it may be hot) Pull the drum and toner unit out, and separate the two components. Check the Developer roller on the front of the toner cartridge turns smoothly and quietly. Any noise is bad. Check the cylinder in the drum unit also turns smoothly. (turn it with the gear, don't put fingers on the cylinder itself). Put it all back together and listen for noise when the machine winds up. a loud ratchety noise usually indicates the gear train is under too much load and is often caused by a strain on the drum rotor.

Sounds like a tire may have slid off of a wheel. Yes they have wheels. Also paper soaks up water like a sponge always keep your paper in the wrapper it comes in and the top side of the paper is where the seam is. Make sure you put the paper in so that the top side is the side going through the machine. I do how ever believe you have a wheel or gear out of place.

I would suspect that the you didn't get the drum back in properly. There are contacts on the drum casing that need to make contact with the base of the printer. It's possible that either it's not seated properly or that some toner is lodged over the contact preventing a good electrical connection. Try removing the drum again and carefully reinsert.

old printer not really worth fixing

Sound could come from either a stripped gear or toothed belt. Try printing a blank page or two, if it doesn't feed then the above is a good possibility.

Hi,

Your problems states that photos are being blank when trying to print it.
Please try these tips.

• Make sure your printer is selected in the Print window or in the Macintosh Page Setup and Print windows.
• The print head nozzles may need cleaning.
• Make sure your printer software settings are set for the paper size you're using.

Plus,i also wanted to know if you can print ordinary documents or print a test page.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Refer to the service manual in disassembling the device.. Clean it thoroughly then try it again.. If, you have no experience in doing so, hire a qualified tech to do so.

When the printer is not functioning properly it may need to be reset. Make sure that this code is not being generated from a paper jam. Consult your manual for all the ways to check for paper jammed in the printer. (You may not be able to see the paper jam).

Then try a reset as follows:

1) On the printer panel, press and hold the <On/Off> button for one second (the display will go blank). If it does not, unplug the power cord.

2) Wait approx. ten seconds. If unplugged, plug it back in. Otherwise, press the <On/Off> button again.

3) Wait for the machine to cycle through its startup routine before trying a print job.

try to make sure that the paper is printer paper
