I cleared a paper jam. It came out in two pieces.
When I went to print again I received the paper jam tone and LED read "Paper Jam Open back cover" I checked for more paper. Nothing, clean as a whistle. Tried to print again, no luck.
I've had several people check, no paper jam.
I put the screws to the machine, everything clear.
Every time I try to print, same thing happens, plus it makes a weird sound like the mechanism is trying to do something.
Oh and the on/off switch doesn't work. I have to unplug/plug it to get it to reset.
Also, this happened around the same time I intalled a Cyan cartridge.
Printer is less than a year old, bought new.
Can anyone help me?
Well I fixed it!!! Here's what I did. You see this picture of the cover opened? Where the arrow's pointing is the home position of the printer head. Under there I found a scrap piece of paper! Here's exactly what I did. When I got home I decided to plug it in to see if it would work, but it made the same noise and showed the same error message as before. I opened the cover as shown above. This resets it, and it says "close cover". I closed it, and AS it started to go through its routine I OPENED IT again, and I could see the printer head moving back and forth. At this point I used a flashlight to see where the home position of the Head was, and that's where I found the scrap of paper!
I unplugged it for safety and was able to remove the scrap with my fingers.
By your descriptions, referring to the other users, you just might have the same problem.
dude, if you're going to COPY someone else's solution, at least CREDIT the other person that you are copying and don't pretend that it's your own.
Thanks! I tried this and it worked!
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You,

I opened the cover of my MFC-465CN and held the cover interlack switch closed. The print head moved and a saw a small scrap of paper under it which I removed with a hemostate.
Fantastic suggestion that worked! I first found a scrap of paper that had bundled up, sticky ink or toner and all. Thought that did the trick but I kept getting the paper jam message. Couldn't find more paper, even with a strong light. Then took your suggestion, not realizing that the printer head was the black box-like object stuck on the left, same side as the left, not the right. Guess it was stuck there due to the malfunction. Sure enough, I opened the top, both together, as you suggested and with the printer head almost in the middle was able to clearly see the bunched up piece of paper causing the jam. Removed

Clean the encoder strip! it works!! BYAAAAA!
Have you had any luck with your printer yet same thing as happened to mine if you have sorted it can you let me know please what you did to it thankyou yours [email protected]
One of the main causes for paper jams is the presence of dirt, dust, or debris in your toner cartridge. The paper coming into the cartridge would get stuck. So clean your printer regularly. Remove the dust from the printer. Also find out whether any jams occurred in the sensor hole in the upper part of the rotating drum. Do not touch the roller while cleaning. If the oil in your body gets into the roller, the printing media cannot roll over it properly and you can't get rid of the printer problem.
Similar problem, similar fix. I followed Loreto's basic procedure, except that I simply held the engage button down with a q-tip. I noticed that the print head was seating at the left side, not the right. There was a wad of paper blocking it from going far enough left to start its return. Tweezered it out, and voila! Thanks a bunch.
Just figured this out on an MFC 885CW. Everytime the paper fed, I got that paper jam message. After trying the above sage advice to no avail, I looked the paper I had pulled out the back. The leading edge had a bend in the middle. I removed the back cover, and discovered a series of what can only be described as plastic springs. In reality they are plastic rectangles that are adhered to the cover, which seem to guide the paper from the tray into the rollers. One of these had a bend in it, enough it seems to stop the paper from feeding. Hence the jam. I straightened it out, and it works fine.
In my DCP 110 C the print head got dislodged from the rail (It was stuck above the rail, you can tell if you look at it closely), to put it back I had to slide it all the way away from the home position and push it down a little and then carefully pull it back so that it stays on the rail.
Open back cover then remove paper jam Brother DCP115C
What model is it? and is all the ink genuine?
According to your problem, May there is no paper jam but memory is not cleared. First make sure that there is no paper jam. Delete all pending print job from the print queue. Turn the printer and your system both for 2-3 mins and turn the both again. It will clear the memory.

Word for word, I have the same problem, except I just got my printer new last week. This happened after I loaded a piece of paper that had already been printed on. Didn't know it was so finicky!
Anyway, I've contacted Brother's online support and am currently awaiting their answer.
Their online solution manual ishttp://welcome.solutions.brother.com, which has some nice diagrams. On the Paper Jam page, highlighted in green is a suggestion to "move the print head to take out the paper" which I have no idea how to do.
Hopefully after a good night's rest the printer will feel better and I'll plug it in again to see if it's better.
PS. It makes flawless photos when it's working!
