No matter what I do, I get the "Back Cover Open.. close the back cover" error message. I've repeatedly opened/closed the back cover, taken out toner cartridge, checked for paper jams or scraps. Can't tell exactly what piece, on the back cover, tells the machine that the cover is closed.

Hi. You have to follow these steps: Be very careful:

1. Open front cover, like in this image:


2. Pull out your printer's toner cartridge & drum unit:


3. Open back cover


4. Pull the tab which is in front of you in order to open the rear chute cover.


5. If there is any, pull the jammed paper out of the fuser.




6. Close back cover and put the cartridge toner & drum unit back where it belongs.


7. Close front cover too and see if it works! If your error will still appear, try powering your printer OFF & ON

I hope I helped you!
