MFC-8440/8840D/8840DN, DCP-8040/8045D/8045DN SERVICE MANUAL 3. PAPER PROBLEMS 3.1 Paper Loading Problems First, make sure that you are using paper that meets Brother recommended paper specifications. See 2.12 Paper in Chapter 1. Problem Remedy The machine does not feed paper. • If there is paper in the paper tray, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled, you should straighten it before printing. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the stack over and put it back in the paper tray. • Reduce the amount of paper in the paper tray, and then try again. • Check that manual feed mode is not selected in the printer driver. The machine does not feed paper from the manual feed slot. • Re-insert the paper firmly, one sheet at a time. • Make sure that manual feed mode is selected in the printer driver. The machine will not feed envelopes. • The machine can feed envelopes from the manual feed tray or multi-purpose tray. Your application software must be set up correctly to print on the envelope size you are using. This is usually done in the page setup or document setup menu of your software. Please see your software application manual. A paper jam has occurred. • Clear the jammed paper. Please see paper jams and how to clear them or the paper jam instructional video on the CD-ROM. The machine does not print into the top output tray. • Close the back output tray. The machine does not print on • Make sure that the appropriate printer driver is selected. the specified paper. (with optional lower tray unit) The back light not light up appears although documents are set. • Check the sensors by using the maintenance-mode function code 32. (Refer to Chapter 7, Subsection 3.9) • Check the document front sensor actuator and document rear sensor actuator. • Check the main PCB. Document not fed. • Check the ADF and its related sections. • Check the ADF motor and its harness. • Check the document feed roller and its related gears. • Check the main PCB. Document double feeding. • Check the ADF parts. Document jam. • Check the ADF motor. 6-11

PAPER PROBLEMS

3.1

Paper Loading Problems

First, make sure that you are using paper that meets Brother recommended paper

specifications.

See

2.12 Paper

in Chapter 1.

Problem

Remedy

The machine does not feed

paper.

•

If there is paper in the paper tray, make sure it is straight.

the paper is curled, you should straighten it before printing.

Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the stack

over and put it back in the paper tray.

•

Reduce the amount of paper in the paper tray, and then try

again.

•

Check that manual feed mode is not selected in the printer

driver.

The machine does not feed

paper from the manual feed

slot.

•

Re-insert the paper firmly, one sheet at a time.

•

Make sure that manual feed mode is selected in the printer

driver.

The machine will not feed

envelopes.

•

The machine can feed envelopes from the manual feed

tray or multi-purpose tray.

Your application software must

be set up correctly to print on the envelope size you are

using.

This is usually done in the page setup or document

setup menu of your software.

Please see your software

application manual.

A paper jam has occurred.

•

Clear the jammed paper.

Please see paper jams and how

to clear them or the paper jam instructional video on the

CD-ROM.

The machine does not print

into the top output tray.

•

Close the back output tray.

The machine does not print on

the specified paper.

(with optional lower tray unit)

•

Make sure that the appropriate printer driver is selected.

The back light not light up

appears although documents

are set.

•

Check the sensors by using the maintenance-mode

function code 32.

(Refer to Chapter 7, Subsection 3.9)

•

Check the document front sensor actuator and document

rear sensor actuator.

•

Check the main PCB.

Document not fed.

•

Check the ADF and its related sections.

•

Check the ADF motor and its harness.

•

Check the document feed roller and its related gears.

•

Check the main PCB.

Document double feeding.

•

Check the ADF parts.

Document jam.

•

Check the ADF motor.
