We have a Brother MFC 8460N and it says "NO PAPER." However, there is paper and the spring in the tray is working fine.

    Did all that but there is a clicking sound as well now. I think it is a piece that is on the copier/printer that kinds the paper tray in ( you can see it hanging down and it goes back and forth). I put it in the forward position, back position, down position...everyway possible and nothing.

    I have read the comment on the MFC8460N printer/copier I would love he rewrites it it is not making much sense to me. I quess the no paper indicator light is all about paper tray sensor not working fine (replace it with one your sure is working)These LEDs are the same you can even swarp them with the exit paper sensor.If it detects paper in the tray paper jums in the exit then conclude that the paper sensor is defeative.So look for a good one.

This happened to me as well with the same model printer. I was trying to print from an Avery label template. For some reason, the printer won't do it. I could print anything else.

How do I replace PF kit1 Brother MFC-8460n
The paper feed kit is the pick up rollers and the transfer rollers. You can thake those out clean them and replace them, but unless you are actually having paper feed issues usually just clean the paper tray feed rollers with alcohol and reset the paper feed kit counter if needed.

Paper from Tray doesn't load.
put paper in the upper slot (known as the MP), pull all paper from lower tray, send document to print and see if it prints ok - if it does, the problem may be with the lower print drawer - there is a spring under metal pad that lifts paper so it's grabbed by the printer paper transport. the spring may have broken or become dislodged so separation pad (the metal plate holding paper up) remains down - the transport "thinks" there is no paper

Problem for Brother MFC-8460N error message no paper in tray tried cleaning. re loading, on-off. etc.
Make sure the paper guide is not too tight, also set the paper tray on a table and look at the gear on the side at the bottom. The flat part of that gear must be level with the bottom of the tray, if not the metal under the lifter is bent and needs to be straightened. also tip the printer on it's back and make sure the sensor levers by the feed roller move freely.

Paper is in the feed tray, but it continues to say NO Paper??? Brother MFC-8460N any suggestions?
Could be a tab or spring broken off of the feed tray, dirty feed roller can cause that error when paper doesn't feed. Paper guide too tight so that paper can't lift to the feed roller also a possibility. Sensor above paper stack out of position.. many possibilities.

Brother mfc8460n message no tray. tray is in.
The sensor also has a spring to the left that enables it to go to its default location. If this spring is missing then the sensor will not detect the tray and display the "No Tray" message even though the tray is in place.

Mfc 8460n paper jam
Check to see if this happens when you use the drop down manual feed tray. If your printer works fine using the manual feed tray the problem is with your paper tray. Check to make sure it is set to letter size. I've found that sometimes the 'teeth' holding the paper stop on the paper tray wear out and when the printer goes to pick up paper, it pushes the paper stop out of position causing the printer to think it's using a different, much longer size paper thus preventing it from feeding all the way through. You'll probably need a new paper tray if this is the case.
