ANSWER : Just googled this problem and delved into the innards of the machine. Lo and behold, there was a piece of paper stuck there and I have removed it (with difficulty). So it wasn’t “back cover” at all (which I kept on banging shut of course!). Misleading!

Brother Intellifax 4750e 77 error
ANSWER : I just received a used fax machine from a school district that recently purchased a new one. Everything is fine except the indicator light is not lit. It runs perfectly, I just can’t read anything on the screen. Also, is there any way I can get a manual other than printing it. There are 156 pages and I will run out of toner or paper, or both. Thank you.

Error Code 51.1 says Printer Error No Kidding.lol
ANSWER : Sometimes turning off and on will allow you to print a few pages. The error is a beam detect error. The only real fix is to replace the laser scanner unit.

You could try the only other free fix which is to open the scanner assy. and clean all the mirrors inside. The dust could obstruct the laser beam enough to cause the detect error.
