Most 13.20 error messages have been associated with exit sensors in the optional paper trays and with pre-feed sensor PS102, although this message can be displayed with a failure of any of the paper jam sensors. Using the Manual Sensor Test in diagnostics is the most useful tool in troubleshooting 13.20 errors.
The above listed printers may produce a 13.20. 00 `jam in right front door` error code. While there may be no paper visible, this is usually caused by a dislodged tray 1 pickup roller cover which disrupts proper positioning of the duplex refeed sensor flag.
The error is 13.02. 00 indicating it isn`t reaching the top cover sensor. The paper is getting stuck at the fuser, and the fuser is leaving a very noticeable indentation mark.
Hope you are well, usually that error message stands for paper jam inside the printer, please check the rear door, remove the tray 2 and check for paper stuck.
This means the baud rate is 9600 7 E for both the scanner and scale. If one tries to configure this Dual Cable device to a Single Cable device via bar codes it will beep once, reading the bar code, then emit a razz tone and throw an Error 13.
Cause: Paper is jammed inside the printer. Remedy: Remove the jammed paper and set the paper cassette and covers to the original position.
The printer experiences a paper jam from Tray 2, or the printer does not pick paper or picks more than one sheet from Tray 2. A 13. B2. D2 paper jam error usually occurs when paper does not leave the paper tray.
A 13. B2. FF paper jam error appears on the control panel when paper is jammed in the top of the printer. Check the printer for jammed paper and clear the jam, if needed.
The error code 0x0000002C, 0x00000000 typically occurs in systems where multiple AC feeds are powered on sequentially rather than simultaneously. An Onboard Administrator firmware update should remedy this problem.
Recommended action. Turn the printer off, wait 15 seconds and turn the printer back on (using the power switch located on the back of the printer). The error code should not appear again.
When a 31.13. 13 error appears on the control panel, it indicates that there is a jam in the document feeder because the feeder cover is open. Open then close the document feeder cover. If issue remains, open the document feeder cover.

ANSWER : What about the engine test? To do that, drop down the front tray. Feel around on the left side at the top and you’ll feel a little plastic dongle. If you lift up on that it will initiate an engine test page. That will be a page containing lines of each color.

My 2550n Color LaserJet does not want to print in color
ANSWER : That model had issues with the carousel solenoid sticking. That might explain why it works after you let it sit for 10 minutes. The solenoid gets hotter with use which causes the deteriorated foam on it to become sticky and hold down the release plate instead of letting it go. This allows the carousel to spin when it is supposed to stop for each color. The solenoid is located on the right side of the printer. If you open the lid, it is just behind the opening at the top right. You need to remove the top of the printer and scrape off the goo on top of the solenoid body. I put a piece of thin sticky backed felt to replace it. Other people use electrical tape.
