Showing Empty on paper, but paper in? - HP DeskJet F380 All-In-One Printer

Dirty sensor?

Either paper is moving too slow through the paper path or one of your paper path sensors is not registering. Pull the paper tray out and check to make sure the little plastic sensor is swinging free. That sensor tells when the tray is empty. Follow the paper path thru the printer checking all the sensors to make sure they are "opening" and "closing".

pull out tray and check any paper is jammed is remaining at the back end of that tray

if the light is blinking it means
1. either the cartridge door is open
2. or paper tray is empty
3 or paper is misfeed
4. or paper jam


Verify that the print
cartridge is present and
that the print-cartridge
door is closed correctly.
2. Verify that media is
present in the input tray.
3. Clear any jams and
perform paper-path
functional checks.
4. Make sure that the
interlocks are operating
correctly.

Hi. What make?

There are actually some certain meaning on the red light and green light showing different information to user. The summaries are:
1) Green On, Red Off = Printer Ready.
2) Green Fast-Flashing, Red Fast-Flashing = Printer warm up.
3) Green Fast-Flashing, Red Off = Printer off-line.
4) Green Slow-Flashing, Red Off = Processing Data.
5) Green Off, Red On = Cover Opened, Toner Empty or Developer Unit / Drum unit missing.
6) Green Off, Red Fast-Flashing = Paper Jam or waiting for jam reset.
7) Green Off, Red Slow-Flashing = Paper Empty or Paper tray is not inserted.
8) Green Off, Red Off = Printer power is off.
9) Green Very-Slow-Flashing, Red Off = Printer in sleep mode.
10) Green (any condition above), Red Slow-Flashing = Toner low or paper empty.

So what is your printer condition? Better know what is going on your printer so can solve the problem.

Run Status Monitor and make sure it is really a paper jum that prevents printer from printing. It is very likely that another reason is in place. For instance - toner empty of change drum request. All of this causes the "Attention" LED to blink: it's not only paper jam that causes it.

check all paper paths for little pieces of paper
