Is there a door at the back? My 640 has one and you must open it to clear the jam.

SOURCE: Brother Print Unable 50 Error

No ;-)

The encoder strip switched off the ph and has to be set into place again.
see here how to fix it:

(enlarge the browser window to see pics somewhat better)

An advice:
when you have set the encoder strip in pos. again stick some scotch tape on the top of the ph cover where the strip runs thru to prevend the slipping off again on next paper jam ;-)

Machine Error 50 either means that there is a loose object inside the machine (usually piece of paper), or that there is a mechanical error which would need you to have the machine sent to service.

Brother 540cn Printer won't print and displays unable to print 50. The photo capture button also flashes

The error code 50 indicates a paper jam condition. Whether there's actually still paper jammed or not, it's sensors are still indicating a jam. Check again for a bit of paper, or there may be a faulty sensor.
Check out this link: Brother for further information.

Hp laserjet 4200 will print a 50 page paper path test, print an extra page and then jam.

The paper feed solenoid is sticking. There is a foam material that deteriates over time and becomes sticky. I remove what's left and put masking tape in its place.

Unable to print 50

Error 50: The machine does not work due to a paper jam or some sensor problem.

Clear the paper jam.

See here for illustrated instructions on how to clear a paper jam.

If the problem still continues after clearing the paper jam it could mean a problem with a sensor and you may need to contact a service representative.

For future reference a list and explanation of Error Codes can be found here.

Error message print unable 50

the encoder strip which gives the printhead the position is out of place (error 50). You have to open the printer and reinsert the strip:

Stick a 1.5 inch tape onto the printhead cover where the strip runs thru. This will prevent this accident in future!
