The "P" means that you need to add paper into the paper tray or in the manual feed tray. Odds are that you are getting a paper jam from the paper tray? I would try to fill the paper tray with paper & make sure the copier is on a level surface. You may need the paper feed tire's or you may have a paper present sensor broken? I would just use the manual feed tray. Good Luck
There is a small white gear that drives the fuser module. It wears out at 30 to 40 thousand pages.
If the sound is a jumping to gringing noise that would be the problem.
That gear jumping will cause the machine to say out of paper,, jam,, give all kinds of problems from things bouncing around.
Pull out the paper feed tray and (using a flashlight to look into the machine) clean the halfmoon feed rollers with rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball. The rollers are on the right side at the top where the paper tray fits in. If alcohol doesn't do the trick, try naptha (lighter fluid), if no success...replace the feed tires....just a thought. Let me know please...Tim
PS...if it doesn't feed paper far enough, it thinks there is no paper or a jam.
The drawer separator pawls (metal taps on the right side of tray where paper touches)
Paper backstop not in or in wrong spot (green plastic piece at back of paper)
Feed tires are worn or dirty
Does the copier try and feed from tray 2? If it tries but the paper doesn't leave the try look and see if there is a dark mark on the page (top middle towards the right). If so then most likely the feed tire is worn.
You probably have a paper jam in the auto feed unit. Open the auto feed and check for bunched up paper and if you don't find any open the side doors and check for paper jams there. Let me know what you find.
Is this something that has been getting worse or just happen at once? If it just appeared it good be something in the paper tray stopping it from liftting or something behind the paper tray or in the paper path of the copier. If it has been slowly happen try to clean the paper pickup rollers with WD-40 and a rag and clean the rubber only. If that works you done, but if it say's to add paper you may have a broken paper present sensor. The jams could also be the paper feed clutch is worn out. Worse case use the bypass tray. Good Luck!!
open right door and look on top there should be a littl lever there check carefully to see if there is a paper crumbled inside.
remove tray and look where paper feeds out.
