Alternative Causes & Edge Cases

  • On the Brother HL-L2350DW, if the orange attention LED blinks while showing 'No Paper' error, the physical paper pick-up rollers may be dirty, requiring cleaning with a damp cloth.
  • On the Brother HL-L2325DW, a solid orange error LED can also be triggered if the physical paper tray width guides are squeezed too tightly against the paper stack, causing sheet buckling.
