SOURCE: Brother MFC 8220 has a red ligth with an error
I had the same issue, but it was a little more serious. The Black Lever, which is part of the 'Paper Tray Empty' sensor, had been twisted so hard, that the flag for the Beam-Of-Light sensor was out of position. To the left of the lever is a small black cover. I took out the screw holding it place, and inside was a small PCB with the BOL mounted to it. I moved it down, so that the 'flag' could swing back into position, pointing towards the rear of the machine. I put the PCB back, and screwed the cover back on. The lever then moved up and down with ease. Putting the full paper tray back in, and turning on the machine, the Red Light Error was no more.
