Paper light flashing could mean a few things on this machine.

There could be a paper jam in the machine. Open the front cover remove the drum and toner and look in the machine. Open the back cover and look for a Jam as well.

Try putting a piece of paper in the manual feed tray which is right above the paper tray, sometimes on certain documents the margins are too big and asks to go into the manual feed slot.

Error code 008-900

reopen the cover and look inside with a flash light, there maybe a tiny piece of paper stuck in there you missed, take some compressed air and blow it in there to clean out dust, the talcum powder on the paper, builds up on the sensors, making them think it has paper there.

My laserjet pro 400 color mpf m475dn printer is indicating " paper jam...open back door to clear jam," please describe how i will go about this process.

There is an access door in the back of the printer. Open the door and you should see jammed paper. If not then you have a faulty sensor or switch.

Paper to thick for printer and has jammed, have attempted all manual methods to locate the paper, take out the toner and check the back but still cant locate paper

if there is no paper inside then one of the sensors are broken thats why it is indicating the paper jam sign. check the fusing unit. the paper must be inside that unit and its hard to see. fusing unit is the unit before the paper exit unit or from where the paper comes out.

If you checked everything, trays, ink cartridge etc., and see no paper jam anywhere, take the top cover off and look inside the (head) for the jammed paper! This printer is problem free.
