      If your Brother printer displays a 'No Paper' error, ensure the paper tray is not empty and is correctly installed. If it contains paper, verify that the paper is straight and not curled. Try removing the paper, turning the stack over, and reinserting it. Reduce the amount of paper in the tray. Ensure that you are using paper that meets Brother’s recommended specifications and that the loaded paper size matches your current driver settings.
