Error message read close rear cover 1

If you have opened and closed all covers on your Sharp MX-4071 printer but are still receiving a "Close Printer Cover" error message, there may be a few possible reasons why this is happening. Here are some troubleshooting steps you can take:

1. Check for any paper jams: Open all covers and inspect for any paper jams or debris that may be obstructing the printer's internal components. Clear any jams or debris that you find and ensure that there are no obstructions left inside the printer.
2. Check the covers and sensors: Make sure that all covers are properly aligned and closed securely. Check the covers for any damage or signs of wear and tear that may be preventing them from closing correctly. Also, inspect the sensors that detect the covers to ensure that they are not damaged or obstructed.
3. Reset the printer: Power off the printer, unplug it from the power source, and wait for about 30 seconds before plugging it back in and turning it on again. This will reset the printer and may resolve the issue.
4. Update the printer firmware: Check if there are any available firmware updates for your Sharp MX-4071 printer and install them. Firmware updates can sometimes fix bugs and errors that may be causing the "Close Printer Cover" message to appear.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to contact Sharp support or a qualified technician for further assistance. They can diagnose the problem and determine if there are any hardware issues that need to be addressed.

1. Open the Outer Back(Rear) Cover (1) at the back of the machine. Pull the jammed paper out of the machine.
   
   
   
2. Close the Inner Back(Rear) Cover (1) if it is open as shown in the illustration.
   
   
   
3. Close the Outer Back(Rear) Cover. Make sure the cover is closed properly.
   
4. Pull the paper trays (1) out of the machine.
   
   
   
5. Push the two green levers up on both sides.
   
   
   
6. Pull out the jammed paper (1) and press Stop/Exit.
   
   
   
7. Push the green duplex unit up.
   
   
   
8. Reset the machine by lifting the scanner cover from the front of the machine and then closing it.
   If you cannot remove the jammed paper from the front of the machine, or the error message still appears on the LCD after you have removed the jammed paper, please go to the next step.
   
   
9. Using both hands, use the plastic tabs on both sides of the machine to lift the Scanner Cover (1) into the open position. Make sure that there is no jammed paper left in the corners of the machine under the plastic covers.
   
   
   Note
   
   • If ink gets on your skin or clothing immediately wash it off with soap or detergent.
     
     
   • If the paper is jammed under the print head, unplug the machine from the power source, and then move the print head to take out the paper.
     
     
   • If the print head has stopped in the right corner as shown in the illustration, you cannot move the print head. Press Stop/Exit until the print head moves to the middle. Then unplug the machine from the power source, and take out the paper.
   
   
   
   1. Gently close the scanner cover using the finger holds on both sides of it as you push down on the Scanner Cover Support (1).
      
   Caution Be careful not to trap your fingers under the scanner cover. Always use the finger holds provided on both sides of the scanner cover when opening and closing it.
   
   
   1. Push paper tray #1 and paper tray #2 firmly back into the machine.
      
      
   Note Make sure you pull out the paper support until it clicks.
   
   

The error indicates that one or both of the cartridges has a short circuit. Please follow the steps below to identify and fix the problem:

1. Make sure the printer is on.

2. Open the printer cover. The print cartridge carrier moves and stops at the loading position, unless the All-in-One is busy.

Note: If the carrier does not automatically move to the center, turn off the printer/unplug the printer from the power source and then slide the carrier to the center.

3. Remove both cartridges from the carrier.

4. Close the printer cover.

5. Rebrick (pull out power supply, black box where the power cord is plugged in at the back of the printer, and put it back after 30 seconds).

6. When the printer turns on, reinsert one cartridge first.

7. Close the printer cover and check for any errors.

8. If no error appears, reinsert the other cartridge. Close the printer cover.

9. Replace whichever cartridge is causing the error to appear with a new cartridge.
If problem continues, please contact Lexmark Technical Support Center for additional assistance.

Hi. You have to follow these steps: Be very careful:

1. Open front cover, like in this image:


2. Pull out your printer's toner cartridge & drum unit:


3. Open back cover


4. Pull the tab which is in front of you in order to open the rear chute cover.


5. If there is any, pull the jammed paper out of the fuser.




6. Close back cover and put the cartridge toner & drum unit back where it belongs.

I hope I helped you!

Check the rear door and make sure it is completely closed. Open and close a few times.

Open the top and back covers. If you see any jammed paper or
other item, gently pull it out, then close the covers. If the error message
remains, open and close the covers again. If the FAX/MFC cannot reset
itself and return to the date and time prompt, it will display MACHINE
ERROR XX. Please call Brother Customer Service

Follow the steps below to clear the "Clean Sensor" error message.

1. Open the front cover of the printer (cover D).
2. Slowly close the cover again. This action will move the lever shown below and clean the sensor.
   
3. Open and close the cover several times. Once the front cover is left closed the printer will start to calibrate.

Once complete, the error should no longer appear and the printer should resume normal operation.

Note: If the error message is still apparent after following the steps above, contact Epson for further advice.

No solution, but I have the same problem. THe printer starts up fine, I hear no grinding noises or other "funny" nioses, and then displays no error message... UNTIL I ask it to print. Then I get a message that says, "Pls (please) Open Cover".

I open the cover and it says "Please Close Cover".

I close the cover and it says, "Please Open Cover"

and this happens forever!

Does anyone have any ideas? Can anyone help me?

It appears that you have a broken back door have a look on the door to see if there is a broken piece of plastic as when you shut the rear door a tab pushes against a push switch letting the machine know that the door is closed. if you cannot see a broken piece then the switch it faulty try this by push a flat screw driver on the switch and check if the message disappears.

Thanks J
