Printer errror! Hi, my printer has a printer error!, also it keeps showing " PLS OPEN COVER OFFLINE" I did open it checked it for paper stuck, there isn't any, also I did vaccum it, and the problem persist, I can't even make a copy!!! What else can I do? Thank you.

Hi,
Those numbers could indicate a few things.

• First number 3 means you need to check for paper jams.Turn on the printer.Open the scan unit or the front cover,check for any stuck papers inside and remove them.
  
• Check the rear paper tray and remove any stuck papers.
• Number 5 means you need to check the cartridges.Open the scanning unit and check if the cartridges are installed correctly and are the right cartridges.Install the correct FINE cartridges.
• Turn printer off and on again.
  
• If error continues you may have to replace the printhead.
  

Hi,

Turn the printer off and on to see if it can automatically clear some or all of the jam. Many printers provide an error-code listing on the front panel display for the area where the jam occurred. If your printer shows an error code, be sure and check the printer manual to see if that identifies the area of the printer where the jam occurred. Step2 Turn off the printer. Step3 Remove any paper trays. Inspect them for wrinkled or damaged paper. Step4 Open any other doors that give access to the printer's paper path and to the toner or ink cartridge. Step5 If necessary, remove the toner or ink cartridge. Place it in a bag or away from light to avoid damaging it. Step6 If you find a piece of jammed paper, remove it by holding it with both hands and pulling firmly. The goal is to keep the paper from tearing. If several pieces are jammed together, try pulling out the middle piece first to loosen the jam. Step7 If the paper does tear, try rotating the roller gears manually to free the paper . Don't force anything, though. Step8 Replace the toner or ink cartridge and paper trays, close any doors you opened and turn the printer back on. Step9 If the printer paper jam message still appears, then there is still some paper in the printer. Reinspect the paper path.

If you still face the problem let me know..

Goodluck..

Hello,

• Check the printers connections.Well connected?
  
• Turn it off and disconnect everything and then re-connect again.
  
• Access the cartridge compartment and inspect whether the cartridges are well installed.
• Set the printer as default printer if not set.
• Check through the paper feed tray for any stuck papers which may cause paper jams,resulting in offline mode.Still offline?
• Open printers and faxes to view installed printer.
• Right click on the printer icon and uncheck 'use printer offline' Still offline?
  
• Try updating your printers firmware.

Hope this helps.Thanks for using fixya!

Make sure that cable to printer is attached and if printer still shows offline then in control panel for the printers make sure that you right click and choose Use Printer Online

What the flashing light means
The Power light can flash for several reasons:
? The printer cover is open.
? The printer is out of paper.
? A problem exists with the printer, such as a paper jam or a problem with a print
cartridge.

I think the machine is telling you to look inside for a foreign object or scrap of paper:

1) Turn the machine OFF
2) Open the cover
3) Carefully inspect inside for a bit of torn paper, staple, paperclip or other such foreign object - gently clear any problem materials. Do not touch internal parts if possible. Use tweezers for small hard-to-grasp objects.
4) Close the cover, and power ON
5) If the MFC cannot reset itself, or if no foreign material is found, the machine should report an error code, for example "Machine Error XX"
6) From this code, brother support should be able to diagnose and help with your problem

Paper jams can be tricky to solve. The paper is usually stuck inside the printer mechanism so even if there is no visible paper jam, you will still get the paper jam error. Try this:

1. Turn off your printer
2. Open all trays and remove any paper stuck there
3. Locate the button to open the printer, open it and remove any paper stuck there also.
4. Repeate the above step for all buttons that you can find to access the inside of the printer
5. Close all doors and put back all trays
6. Turn on your printer

It keeps blinking because there is a paper jam. Open the front cover and take out the toner/drum and see any jammed paper. Also, you can open the back cover, pull the paper guide down to see the rollers.

If the above does not work, take off the front cover. Pull the tabs on the side. Pull out the toner/cartridge. Look for a blue tab on the top, and you need to slide that from right to left. Put everything back and see if this solves the problem.

this is telling you that the fax has encountered an error if you open the scanner cover this is where you put the doc in to send and close then open the front covers check that the cartridge is set properly and lastly check the paper path to see if there is a jam.. hope this help if you get an errror message describing fault let me know may be able to help more
