My machine ricoh aficio keeps on showing error code sc 556 and it cant print but keeps on telling me paper out

1) If the printer continuously displays the error code SC556, try these solutions to resolve the issue. Check if resetting the printer resolves the problem.

2) Power on the printer by pressing the Power button and then unplug the power cord from the printer's rear. The power cord should be unplugged from the wall outlet and wait for at least 15 minutes.

3) Connect the power cord back to the printer and the wall outlet and check if the printer turns on. If not, press the Power button on the printer.

4) See if the printer still displays the error message on the control panel screen. Try to reload the paper and check the condition of the paper.

5) Try to adjust the paper settings in the print driver and see if the issue is resolved.

Mfc 7860dw will not print from paper tray

Check the paper level in tray 1 and keep the paper within the levels indicated by the arrows on the side. I had this same problem, and although the paper tray accommodates the extra paper, the printer obviously does not like it and defaults to the manual feed.

Hi, I've got an HP Photosmart D7160. It continually says "Paper Jam". Actually the error screen says something like "please remove paper jam and then press OK", but there is no paper...

This error message is displayed by the printer when paper is jammed in one or more locations. In such a case, users are recommended to remove the jammed paper from the specified location. The entire paper path must be checked for any pieces of paper. To stop the message, open and close the top most cover of the printer. Lastly, verify the flags and the sensors. If the problem persists, the cause of the error message could be a broken sensor or sensor lever.get more help and information for hp printer support hope this helps you.

Thanks

Correct loading of ink cartridges. Error E2

When a printer error occurs, the Alarm lamp is lit orange. The number displayed on the LED indicates the type of error that has occurred. Check the error code displayed on the LED and take the appropriate action to correct the error.


E and number (error code) are alternately displayed on the LED of MP210 series.


Error E, 2:


Cause: The machine is out of paper. / Paper does not feed.


Solution: Reload the paper correctly and press the Black or Color button.


This sounds like to simple a solution. Make sure this is the correct error code and it is not followed by another number. If problem persists check that you have removed the protecftive material from the FINE cartridge holder. Unplug the machine from the power source for several minutes. Power up. Hopefully this corrects the problem.


If not, try checking the status of your ink cartridges:


1 Open the printer properties dialog box from Control Panel.


2 Click View Printer Status on the Maintenance sheet.


To confirm the FINE Cartridge information, click the Ink Details menu.


This my give further clues to any problem.


Trust this is helpful. :)

Optra 2450 error 241

24X Paper Jam message displays, Paper jammed over the Pass
Thru Sensor. (The printer displays the value of X for the paper tray
where the error occurs. Example: 241 is a Paper Jam Tray 1)

That is a quote directly from the service manual. You have a paper jam, or some tiny bits of paper stuck over the pass thru sensor. Remove debris and clean out to fix your problem.

Problem with Brother MFC-9420CN

This happened on my MFC-9420CN. It turns out the there are blue tabs inside the paper tray that hold the paper in place. If the tabs are not touching the paper, you'll get this "Check Paper Size" error. The printer thinks that you have loaded a different paper tray.
