Brother Print Unable 50 Error

I have a Brother DCP-130C printer.

There was a printer jam, which has completely been cleared.

However I cannot print because an error code Print Unable 50 error appears or Clean error 50 or 30

I've tried EVERYTHING in the manual but no joy.

Is there a sequence of buttons I can press to clear this error?

    Worked an absolute treat. Thanks VERY much.



    Also put some electrical tape over the encoder strp, so will not happen again



    Would never have known how to dismantle if it wasn't for these instructions!

No ;-)

The encoder strip switched off the ph and has to be set into place again.
see here how to fix it:

(enlarge the browser window to see pics somewhat better)

An advice:
when you have set the encoder strip in pos. again stick some scotch tape on the top of the ph cover where the strip runs thru to prevend the slipping off again on next paper jam ;-)

Paper fed error

check the paper jam clear cover at the back site of printer:

When taking it out you can see the wave formed clear plastic which is on top of the cover.
try to stroke with your finger alongside. this can be the reason for the paper jamming.
