"Load paper" When print command is clicked, a redlight in the middle comes with a message "load papers". How can you fix this situation. It used to work without this sign before.

Hi,

Try to check your paper tray and feeder. Make sure everything is aligned properly and there are no foreign objects (such as dust or paper) that could interfere with paper feeding process.

Hey not a big problem. its usually encountered by many users.
i too get this many times.
this happens when you keep papers freshly.
it needs to sense the papers kept.
now what you do is just keep more papers or try re-aligning the papers kept inside

    actually there is a sensor that detects the papers once they are loaded. in some printers it wont detect the papers once we keep it. even tough papers are there in tray it wont detect it. just trying keeping papers in different positions. it will detect it.

    advice would be always keep papers in reserve in the printer. dont let it make empty

  • Anonymous Dec 28, 2007

    even if different positions dont work out see if there is any obstacle in the\at makes the sensor not reachable to paper... it may be like fust or somethin.. u will have to clean it..

    even after this its not detecting means please tell me..

    paper drawer is completely full... no printing happens..

    Trying to print documents - responce reads "load manual feeder with plain paper letter"

    ..if this is the problem solution is as follows..
    The printer may be trying to draw paper from a source other than the
    paper tray. Many printers have a hatch or slot in the front or on the
    side in which one can load non-standard paper sizes and envelopes. It
    may be trying to print there. Try to locate this place and put a few
    pieces of paper in there.

    if the paper is not detected itself then sensor must be bad..
    sensor will be located near the edge of the slot where you input your papers..

    this model uses a LED to transmit a light through a little section of
    the empty toner cart. Its a little square area and should be located on
    the backside of the empty toner cart. you will see the sensor that it
    slides into. Make sure this area is clean.If this area is dirty you
    will still have a error light.

    my best guess would be there was spillage of toner on the sensors to
    detect the waste basket overflowing, hence why the error message is
    constant. This would require cleaning of the sensors, a relatively
    simple task but for proper access, the machine would need to be
    partially disassembles for thorough cleaning. It would be best done at
    a repair centre.
