Unable to FAx 5610v

I've been having this same problem for months now and have been unable to find a solution. At some point in the past it failed to print a fax transmission report, and now it keeps insisting periodically for me to load paper so it can print. However, paper is loaded but the fax mode seems unable to feed it. I've unplugged the printer for a week and then reconnected it, but the error reappears periodically.

Open the top up and check for packing materials inside.

make sure there is no light burning next to manual or ans hook up!If there is one press the button till they all gone!

Check the flux capacitor, those usually go out on brother faxes.
I just replaced mine last week, same problem.
