What to do if my Brother Printer does not load paper?
- J
  Jason GutierrezAug 25, 2025
  If your Brother Printer does not load paper and the LCD shows 'No Paper' or a 'Paper Jam' message, try the following: If there is no paper, load a new stack of paper into the paper tray. If there is paper in the paper tray, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled, you should straighten it. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the stack over and put it back into the paper tray. You may also need to reduce the amount of paper in the paper tray.

How to fix white lines across the page on Brother DCP-7040?

  Bailey AguirreAug 27, 2025
  Ensure you're using paper that meets the printer's specifications, as rough or thick media can cause this. Select the appropriate media type in the printer driver or the printer's Paper Type menu. Printing multiple pages may resolve the issue, especially if the printer hasn't been used recently. If the problem persists, the drum unit may be damaged and need replacement.
