HP LaserJet pro 400 series; solenoid won't energize.
Hello!
Solenoid is fine; not sticking and energizes with external source. Needless to say MP feed won't pickup paper. Also the printer spits out a single blank paper from Tray 2 whenever powered. Any ideas? |

Thank you for replying. Sensors seem to be okay. Also blank paper spitting is only at the time of powering on the printer, as if that makes any sense.

I will guess that there is a sensor jammed/clogged such that it believes there is something in the pathway that it tries to reject - spits out a piece of paper. When that sensor does not clear, it shuts down. Have you cleaned the optical sensors? Either 91% Isopropyl alcohol and a very soft cloth, or distilled water and that same cloth.
Paper dust is is a very real issue, especially on heavily used copiers. Best of luck with it. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

Thanks Wieck, for your insight. Optical sensors are clean, and no error code reported. Though MP feed solenoid won't energize thus no paper pickup from MP tray with error Tray 2 Jam error when print attempted with paper in Tray 1.

Is there a period missing? Though MP feed solenoid won't energize thus no paper pickup from MP tray with error. Tray 2 Jam error when print attempted with paper in Tray 1. If parsed this way, seems that cpu is confused about status/state of paper trays.....so check the tray sensors. A HP service manual would be very helpful....do you have one? |

Yeah! Well. Do have the service manual. As for the signal path, any detailed advice on howto?
