You may still be able to do a printer selftest page.

Press the large button on the printer.

Look at the pages for

Toner
Imaging unit

The Imaging unit may be at end of life.

This is the drum unit and collects the waste toner.
Whilst you can just reset the drum counter (see user guide for this E120, it can lead to problems if you don;t replace the drum unit. I've seen E120 drum units packed full of waste toner, to the stage where they won't take any more, and it just spews all over the mechanism. It's a very small waste collector (but its also a very small printer, and relatively low capacity toner cartridges (1k, or 2k).

Remanufactured drum units for E120 can be found on the usual internet auction sites.

I own a ML-2525/XAA and have a blinking light on the right hand side of the unit. It looks like: <--->/(a triangle with an explanation mark inside it.

Per your user manual, here is a list of all the LED status':

Jam (b-error.png)

Orange

On

A paper jam has occurred. (See Clearing paper jams.)

Online/Error (b-online.png)


Off

  • The machine is off-line.

Green

On

  • The machine is in power saver mode.

  • The machine is on-line and can receive data from the computer.

Blinking

  • When the LED slowly bilnks, the machine is receiving data from the computer.

  • When the LED rapidly blinks, the machine is printing data.

Red

On

  • The cover is opened. Close the cover.

  • There is no paper in the tray. Load paper in the tray.

  • The machine has stopped due to a major error.

  • Your system has some problems. If this problem occurs, contact your service representative.

  • A toner cartridge has almost reached its estimated cartridge life[a]. It is recommended to replace the toner cartridge. (SeeReplacing the toner cartridge.)

Blinking

  • A minor error has occurred and the machine is waiting for the error to be cleared. When the problem is cleared, the machine resumes.

  • Small amount of toner is left in the cartridge. The estimated cartridge life[a] of toner is close. Prepare a new cartridge for replacement. You may temporarily increase the printing quality by redistributing the toner. (See Redistributing toner.)

I have a HL-2070N printer and it would not print, the Paper light is red and blinking. Also, sometimes when it prints the pages get stuck half way out. Any solutions? Thank you.

Usually there is a sensor right before the paper enters the fuser. If the paper sensor is bad the machine will stop feeding and output the error paper jam. This is probably the cause if the paper stops in the same position all the time.

The error light is simply telling you that there is a paper jam. Open both the back panel (you should be seeing the orange roller clearly) and the front panel. Grab the handle and take out the toner and drum and check there are papers stucked. Chances are there will be.

Thank you for using Fixya!

Error flashes

I've read several posts on the "red flashing error light" on the Brother HL-2170W. I have mine hooked to a mac - but I'm sure the pc is the same way. One other previous post said look for a paper jam. Well, there are only a few places to look...and I found no paper jam UNTIL I removed the toner cartridge and looked UNDER the cartridge and VOILA, there was a paper jammed underneath. I removed it and I'm back in business. Normally paper jams when it is almost out of the printer and you can locate it by opening the back of the printer. Well, this one was "sneaky" and hid completely underneath the toner cartridge.
Hope this helps someone else...

Orange light is flashing

I cleaned out the printer by removing any access toner. Made sure again no paper was stuck and then it worked.

Won't print or pick up a sheet of paper

toner cartridges of the 2400 laser comes with a counter chip. if it reaches its limit or the number of pages it should print. the toner cartridges are unusable anymore. try buying new cartridges or if you could find a supplier of the counter chip it would do just fine.
