Why does my 2040 Paper light (Red) keep flashing even though the paper tray is full and there is no paper jam?

Hello,

There are several possibilities with too many to type here so, here is a link to the Brother troubleshooting page that gives several causes for the flashing red light. When you get to the page, scroll down until you see the "lashing "paper" light.

Hope this helps.

When I turn on the printer the light paper flashes

The paper light flashing because there is some paper inside the printer. Open the front cover and remove the cartridge and look inside for the jammed paper. Remove the jammed paper and insert the cartridge , closed the front cover and switch on the printer.
It will help you to solve the problem.

Check for a piece of paper caught in the fuser section. Sometimes a small piece will wedge itself in. Vacuum out any residual toner that may be in the paper path.

Hello ,

Please follow the below steps to try and clear this message.

Turn the power off on the unit.
Open the front and back cover of the unit.
Remove the drum and toner cartridge from the unit.
Check thoroughly inside for any paper jams or any other foreign objects and remove them.
Reinsert the drum and toner and close the front and back cover.
Turn the unit back on.

If the light keeps flashing you will want to check to see if you need to feed paper through the manual feed.

The manual feed is the opening on the front of the printer, just place a page there.

This should clear the error message on the display screen and allow you to resume normal use of the printer.

Thanks,

Pat
