Won't pick up paper and won't print

The machine will fax, but won't do anything else.. It sounds like it is locked up. It will not pick up the paper or print. It makes a clicking noise when you try to print something or copy something.

Did you have any recent jams that may have left a bit of paper in the printer?

Won't recognize paper size hp document

HP's are notorious for not recognising paper sizes. Especially if you are out of the USA. HP printers are default set for USA paper. I have to set mine every now and again to the UK paper size system before it will print within the borders.

Go to paper selection etc and set the paper sizes before you print. Eventually, they do memorise the settings, as odd as that sounds.

Paper won't feed through to print my faxes.The mechanism sounds like it is turning to pick the paper, but it isn't feeding through. As an alternative, can I use the USB port to copy the faxes onto a USB...

That model quite often breaks plastic parts that hold the gears together in the sheet feeder, a new sheet feeder will run around $49.00, there's no way to transfer faxes out of the machine without printing.

Your fax machine needs new pick up rolers or just a service to clean the rolers.

Borhter 2820 doent print

Typically when a machine asks you to use the bypass tray it does not like the size of the paper you have in the machine.

sounds like a paper size problem, check the paper guides in the machine, make sure they are up against the paper. Make sure the paper size in your printer driver is the same as the paper in the machine.
Failing that, power off the machine, unplug it, let it sit for a couple of minutes, power it back up, this cleares anything in the volitile memory.

Hope this is of some help.

Machine ran out of paper during fax trans., how to prnt memory?

Most of the time putting paper in the machine will allow it to continue printing anything that is in the memory. Other functions such as recall etc etc are not available on these low end models. For example this model does not have a harddrive. Usually a bad fax situation like this will lock the machine up. This forces a clearing out of the memory to bring the machine back to life.

Sorry, but this is by design.

Auto feeds crooked

Are we talking about a paper feed problem from the paper cassette tray or the Auto Document feeder on the top. Either way, check the the paper width guides, or if it is the paper cassette tray, remove it and check the paper pick up roller locking clips.
