i have a kind of odd problem with this printer. It was bought as a printer for the place i work which is a metal shop. Well i got it because it does not work now the error light just blinks so i cleaned it up well and brought it home installed the brothers software and it came up and told me the cover was open. just want to know if someone can tell me how to get to the sensors and or how i can make them work to think its closed just something to get this to work also a disassembly guide would be great

thanks Brent

I believe this means the Fuser Cover is open, take off the fuser cover on the back, and check the door sensors, clean them with canned air. Make sure there are no paper bits around causing problems.

ok tried that and still no luck but i did notice today that the brothers software said the front cover is open so does anyone know where the sensors are and if there is a way to override them?
