The Manual Feed message appears when Manual is chosen as the paper source in the printer driver and there is no paper in the manual feed slot.
Sometimes a paper jam error persists even though there is no jammed paper (false paper jam). Reset the printer, which might clear a false paper jam error, and then try to print again.
If your printer`s status displays “Printer in error state,” there may be a problem with the printer itself. Make sure the printer is turned on and connected to your PC by Wi-Fi or cable. Check it for low paper or ink, and be sure the cover isn`t open and the paper isn`t jammed.
Manual feeding means feeding wherein the material or part being processed is handled by the operator on each stroke of the press.
Improperly Loading Paper into the Device

Loading paper that is stuck together, frayed, curled or bent can cause a jam. Overloading the paper tray, loading different thicknesses of paper in the tray or using paper that isn`t appropriate for your particular printer can all result in a jammed printer.

1. Paper Jams. Paper jams are a common problem for printers, resulting in time-consuming and frustrating delays. It can occur when loose sheets of paper get stuck in the rollers or feeding mechanism of the printer.
We can conveniently classify feeds into three main types: (1) roughages, (2) concentrates, and (3) mixed feeds. Roughages include pasture forages, hays, silages, and byproduct feeds that contain a high percentage of fiber.
The guides in the paper tray are there to make sure the stack of paper is exactly where the printer was designed to grab from. If the paper is even slightly askew, the rollers will pick it up a little crooked, and — guess what — the crooked sheet will immediately get jammed.
Paper Is Jammed inside Printer.
Document Jam means the document in the automatic document feeder (ADF) was loaded or fed improperly or was too long. The error message may be followed by Clear the scanner jam.
Filament jams happen when the extruder can`t push filament through the hot end. The extruder either grinds the filament until it`s so thin that the gear that advances the filament is no longer in contact with it, or the motor that drives the extruder stalls because it`s overloaded.
If you don`t run your printer that often, ink dries out, clogging your printheads. Even air bubbles in your ink cartridge can block the nozzle. But simple clogs can often be remedied by running a head cleaning cycle and nozzle check on your printer.
Common locations of paper jams in laser printer include paper input and output trays, the fuser, the toner cartridge, and any other place that paper comes into contact with a roller.
Update the Printer Driver

Printer drivers are pieces of software that enable communication between your computer and your printer. The error code 0x00000040 could appear if your printer driver is out-of-date or faulty. Your printer driver may need to be updated in this situation to help with problem resolution.

Misfeeds occur frequently. The paper is damp. Use paper that has been stored in the recommended temperature and humidity conditions. For details about the proper way to store paper, see Paper Precautions.
Did you know most copier paper jams are caused by the paper itself? Misaligned paper. When a stack of paper isn`t aligned properly in the machine, it often causes a paper jam issue. When adding a ream of paper, always fan the paper, load carefully and avoid overstuffing the tray.
The five primary feeding modes used by organisms are fluid feeding, filter feeding, bulk feeding, deposit feeding, and phagocytosis, in rough order of commonality. It is very difficult to find a method of feeding which does not fit into one of these feeding modes, although there are many sub-categories within each.
Some feeds, such as pasture grasses, hay and silage crops, and certain cereal grains, are grown specifically for animals. Other feeds, such as sugar beet pulp, brewers` grains, and pineapple bran, are by-products that remain after a food crop has been processed for human use.
A bowl feeder is a mechanism for supplying small parts and components to a production line or for sorting bulk items for rapid use. A bowl feeder uses mechanical vibrations and centrifugal force to move parts along a conveying track to an assembly, shipping, inspection line, and other operations.
Feeding is regulated by homeostatic and hedonic mechanisms in the brain. The hypothalamus contributes to homeostatic regulation, and the reward system in the brain contributes to hedonic regulation.
The optical sensor reads the unique media `signature` of the paper by measuring inherent optical properties and comparing them with the signatures of other papers. Once the paper is identified, the printer optimizes printing for the particular paper type.
In such cases, even though the printer`s ink supply system is working properly, the design of the non-genuine ink tank is obstructing fluid ink supply to the print head, causing the B504 error.
Capacitive sensors can detect objects that have a dielectric constant that is different from air. Hence, these sensors can detect objects made from a wide variety of materials such as plastic, paper, wood, etc.

Paper Jam error but no paper jam
ANSWER : Obviously you didn’t get all the paper cleared out. There is a small scrap in the paper path causing the jam when the paper hits it. You can try clearing it out by inserting something stiff like a piece of file folder from the back of the printer into the paper path and pushing the offending piece out that way.

Paper Jam and carriage jam code when nothing is jammed
ANSWER : Did you try cleaning the encoder strip that runs through the cartridge assy.? Use Window Cleaner on a paper towel. Also, check inside on the right. I’ve seen a lot of times where there is a folded up scrap of paper that stops the carriage from going all the way to the right.

My printer feeds through one piece of paper all the way and then a half piece of paper and stops. I pull out the paper to stop the paper jam and then it prints but sounds rough. After printing, it doesn't feed the paper all the way through.
ANSWER : And the first 2 sheets, the full and half sheet that go through first, are blank.

Paper jam error
ANSWER : Did you actually check for jammed paper? That would be the problem. You can’t reset a paper jam.

Keep getting a paper jam message. There is no jam.
ANSWER : You can quit wondering. Parts are unavailable. I’ve seen posts where people have 3D printed the parts or machined them out of metal.

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. Could be a loose connector on the scanner or DC controller from the scanner. That’s unlikely. 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.
