Oct 25, 2012 - Uploaded by nobblynoel Brother HL 2040 Printer Repair solution for multiple page jams For more Info ... My Brother HL2030 laser printer is making a groaning/grinding noise on ..... FIX YOUR PRINTER: ERROR: Printer Does not Grab Paper fromTray ...

If you print single page ?

I pressume that paper is wrinkled in fixing section. Probably the fixing bushings are worn out. The grinding noise could be from paper when it stuckes, but also from gears.Call service.
There is a trick if paper is moisturized. Flip paper in cass. up side down, and try again.

some gears are not in proper position , pull out the paper tray and closed it strongly .

please try this

1. Turn off the printer.
2. Remove any paper trays. Inspect them for wrinkled or damaged paper.
3. Also open the back cover of the printer if this model has one.
4. Open any other doors that give access to the printer's paper path and to the toner or ink cartridge.
5. If necessary, remove the toner or ink cartridge. Place it away from light/ sun light to avoid damaging it.
6. If you find a piece of jammed paper, remove it by holding it with both hands and pulling firmly. The goal is to keep the paper from tearing. If several pieces are jammed together, try pulling out the middle piece first to loosen the jam.
7. If the paper does tear, try rotating the roller gears manually to free the paper. Don't force anything, though. Do this step especially if the jam message comes up repeatedly without any obvious paper jam, there may be a small tear of paper inside.
8. Ones the printer is free of paper Replace the toner or ink cartridge and paper trays, close any doors you opened and turn the printer back on.
9. If the printer paper jam message still appears, then there is still some paper in the printer. Reinspect the paper path.
10. see alternative if the problem is still not solved.
    

alternative :
Load a piece of thick paper, for example photo paper and press the resume button (may be diffrent button on diffrent models) a few times to the printer picks up the paper and puts it through the machine.

Most likely problem is the Fixer Gear, seems to be an issue with these printers. Part number is LJ7416001 but does not look to be the easiest to Replace

Troubleshooting

NOTE: Refer to the Testing section in this document for instructions on performing the tests.

1. Turn the printer off, and then turn the printer on. The grinding or squeaking noise should not occur while the printer is initializing.
2. Perform a paper path test. The grinding or squeaking noise should not occur because the carriage should not be moving.
3. Perform a self-test to localize the noise.
4. Check the printer for obstructions by lifting the top cover and making sure nothing is blocking the carriage movement.
5. Check the paper path by following the instructions below:
1. Remove all media from Trays 1, 2, and 3.
2. Pull out any visible stuck paper.
3. Lift the top cover, and pull out any jammed paper.
4. If you are unable to free the jammed paper, pull out the handle of the paper knob, pull the knob away from the printer, and rotate it to remove the paper.
5. Lower the rear access door by lifting up on the two rear door latches.
6. Remove the back panel by pushing the two catches inward.
7. Pull out any paper that may be stuck inside.
6. Wipe down the milky white strip (see Figure 1) that the front of the carriage glides on with a clean, soft, dry, lint-free cloth.

Replace the whole unitIf the printer is still making a grinding or squeaking noise after following the steps above, replace the whole unit. See Whole Unit Replacement instructions, which are included with the whole unit replacement.
TestingUpon replacement of the whole unit, perform a Paper Path test and a self-test as described below to verify that the new unit is functional.

Performing a paper path test

1. Press the MENU button on the printer control panel until Diagnostics Menu is selected.
2. Press ITEM until Perform Tray x Paper Path Test is selected.
3. Press SELECT to perform the test.

NOTE: The paper path test will terminate only when the paper in the tray being tested runs out or the printer is turned off.
Performing the stand-alone self-test

1. Press the MENU button on the printer control panel until Self Test Menu is selected.
2. Press ITEM until Print Menu Map is selected.
3. Press SELECT to perform the stand-alone self-test.

PREM

This usually means a print job is stuck in the queue that was set to "manual feed" or to a different paper size, such as legal. Add paper to the front manual feed and press "Go". If this is the problem, the stuck document will begin printing from the manual tray.

To clear the problem without printing from the manual feed, cancel all jobs on the printer, delete any jobs out of the Windows print queue and restart the computer.

Fuser drive gear is a mission to install

you will have to lift all the compartments up and look for any loose paper.
