- MFC-7860DW Printer was constantly throwing the no paper error. This may work on many Brother laser printers. Be aware this is a temporary fix. The feeder cam lever will need to be replaced.

Though not needed in this video, the cassette paper feeder kit. Only replace this if you troubleshoot and know the rollers, spring or page separator are bad/damaged/missing. The below kit is for models MFC-7240, MFC-7360N, MFC-7365DN, MFC-7460DN, MFC-7860DW:

I uploaded a new video for replacing this part. If this part does float around (as in the video above) the part is actually broken. New video here for part replacement: ua-cam.com/video/TsQxYsvvC9w/v-deo.html&t
Ya, that vid did the trick. Mine wasn't broken, but it seemed to somehow not be set with the spring properly. Thanks for saving me $$ and this simple fix.
They sure could have used just a bit sturdier component here - just a bit tougher plastic or a larger tab which would break less often (or not break for a longer time). It seems like someone ought to be able to build a 3D replacement with enhanced strength that still works, but I suppose you'd need some 3D scanning to capture the detail of the part because it is a complex shape.
Anyway, it has me printing for now. I'm going to see if I can locate a part in Canada somewhere.
@@ghandimauler The new part that I purchased looked thicker in certain areas where it would matter. So maybe this was already addressed. The other thing to note is I don't remember seeing grease in the slot where the tab breaks off, I'm not sure why (no grease) since it's plastic on plastic rubbing.
New subscriber watching from Al Khafji Saudi Arabia. Sir can you help me with my brother L8690CDW there is power indicator light but there is NO DISPLAY to monitor . Any help im very appreciated thank you...
Welcome and great question. It may be very difficult to troubleshoot that. This information is directly from the Brother website:

The LCD display on my Brother machine is blank. What can I do?
If the LCD display is blank, follow the steps listed below:
Verify the power cord is connected to the back of the machine and the AC power outlet. If the power cord is connected to a surge protector or power switch, remove the cord from the device and connect it directly to the outlet. This is for testing purposes. Removing the device assists in determining if the issue is related to the device or the Brother machine.
NOTE: To protect your investment against power surges and lightning, Brother strongly recommends they connect their machine to a surge protector.
Verify the machine is powered ON. The Brother machine has an ON/OFF button located on control panel of the machine. If machine is OFF, the display will be blank.
Press the Home icon (home icon.jpg) on the touch panel to verify if display screen shows the Home screen.
Adjust the contrast of the LCD:
Press the Settings icon Image on the touch screen.
Press UP OR DOWN ARROW key on the touch panel until display shows General Setup. Press General Setup on the touch screen.
Press UP OR DOWN ARROW key on the touch panel until display shows Panel Control. Press Panel Control on the touch screen.
Press LCD Setting on the touch screen.
Press Backlight on the touch screen.
Press UP OR DOWN ARROW key on the touch panel until Dark is displayed on the touch screen. Press Dark.
Press the Home icon Image to exit the menu.
As noted above, there is an on/off switch on most if not all Brother printers, make sure that wasn't accidentally flipped since it may be easily overlooked. Good luck!
AWESOME, incredibly simple, but note JUST SKIP TO 3:48 TO SEE THE ACTUAL FIX as we have all probably done all the other crap already before getting to the point of finding this video.
I agree, but still big thanks to the video guy, saved so much time and $$. Fricking brother support has no clue about it, very useless
I struggled for days on end and had just moved, so thought the MFC was bumped and knocked about, but after spending the last few hours today to get that little white tab out, the printer works. Hallelulah and thanks very much for the video. What a relief!
I bought a second printer b/c I couldn't fix mine. Took it to a local repair shop, who recommended that I buy another one. Anyways, I didn't give up hope and I agree and resonate the "landfill" comment as well. So, after 2.5 years of sitting idle, now the printer is fully functional again. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! I'm using this for my kids home schooling print outs.
Check out my other video I posted not long ago on replacing the part. If that part does float around the part is broken. It can be fixed for around $4 dollars if you do it yourself.
Thank you so much ! My printer had not worked for several months. Luckily I watched this video and everything is working now. You are my savior ! My partner owes me a good bottle of wine!
Cool that little white notch thingy worked! lol clean all the damn rubber rollers no go saw your notch trick boom! Paper feeds correctly. Thanks! You’ll need that little tool helps a lot. 👍🏼😊
Holy Cow. all i had to do was follow the >UA-cam yellow brick road. I am simply so proud of my self. I was able to find a little pick just like the video said, and hunt for the little white tab that was hiding, and pull it back into place, and voila' my mfc7360N printer now prints. again. and I did not need to replace it or buy any parts. I am awesome. yes.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! That little white fricking tab.... You really saved me. Thought I was going to have to invest in a new machine or spend hundreds getting this one fixed!
Moving that tab worked! I never would have figured that out. Thanks
Yes! Thank you. No idea why brother doesn't include this white tab fix in their troubleshooting video. They cover all your other suggestions. Back in business! Thanks again for posting this.
I was so close to adding this printer to a landfill near me. THANK YOU your 3 second fix worked!
Thank you! My piece is definitely broken and I will order a new one. But the temporary fix will work until then. And it allowed me to keep this workhorse of a printer (well over 9 years now)!
What part do I order from Amazon? Thanks.
@@christineschmitz8809 You can try Amazon, just look for Feeder Cam Lever and whatever model to see if it will work with yours. If not on Amazon give Ebay a try.
Sad to say, that such a simple fix, from pulling out that white tab, fixed the issue. Thanks !
You are a bloody legend! That little white buttony thing on the left hand side! Who knew??? You did! Thanks mate! Printer in Oz.
So glad i found this before trying all of brothers 500 steps
It Worked, Thanks, I needed your other video to move the Feeder cam lever back into place, once I got the feeder back in place, the Printer worked even thought the cam lever still needs to be replaced. What a Great Set of Videos. I was insane trying the same troubleshooting techniques for months, this solved my problem in about 10 minutes
Many years later since this video was originally posted, and this was the absolute solution to a very annoying issue. Thanks for the video!
You saved me. I was about to shop for a new one. My printer model is Brother HL-2280DW and the white tab is the one causing issues combined with a lot of lint on the roller on the paper tray. To fix the white tab, I first tried with a pen cap and the white tab went deep inside the chamber. Instead of opening the printer, I flipped the printer on the left side (on the white tab side) and used a Dental pick to fish that tab and place it in the right place. Once its in right place, i flipped the printer back to its base and voila it works!!
Holy smokes that pull the white button out totally fixed it!!! You are a tech God!!!!! Thank you! You saved me $350!
Thank you so much, I’m a tax preparer and my main brother printer was down. Your video fix it.
Wow. Thanks for this!!!!! I used tweezers to pull that little piece out. Need to read further comments to understand what it does and how to do a permanent fix. Like others I was worried I was going to have to replace the unit.
I did release another video which is a permanent fix.
Thank you so much. After cleaning the rollers, powering off and unplugging the printer countless times, I thought I was going printer shopping this weekend. I got a pair of tweezers on standby to pull that white tab back in place if it happens again.
used a paper clip as a pick and pushed the little white tab back out. bingo! printer is working again! your instructions and video were very clear on what to do and how to do it. thanks so much for your help!!
Thank you so much for this video. I agree with other reviewers that this video needs more upvotes. It saved me from buying parts and maybe another printer. I am not mechanically inclined and I was not able to pull the white tab since it was all the way out of its place, but my husband did and it works. Thank you again!
My rollers were simply dirty...which makes sense because we are renovating. Thanks for this video!
Thanks a Mill. Pulled out the white tab, my $6 thrift store laser printer works perfectly now. Score!
OMG. Ditto to all the previous comments. An hour fussing with the machine and a white tab turns out to be the issue? How in the world did you figure that one out? No matter, I'm glad you did and took the time to share.
Wow, 5 stars to you. Pulling out that tab worked. Save me big time. I was right in the middle of a project. Could not afford the time to go get a new printer.
Whatever the little white tab is, moving it fixed the problem. Thanks
You save the day!!. Thank you ever so much. I was almost throw out the printer as it kept giving me that message "No Paper Error". The white plastic on the side near the feeder as you pull out the paper tray was loose. It may have to replace it at a later stage, but now I know where you are. You also have uploaded/edited the video to include the replacement if needed be. Once again a big "Thank You" one less thing contributed to the pollution of the environment. Your instruction on the Video is precise, clear and an excellent one too.
Thank you!
Had to take the side off to get it reseated and the little notch on it is broken off but glad this got me back in business. Presumably I'll be able to find the part for a few bucks on eBay or something.
Fabulous. I had to go a little farther, but I think this fixed my issue. I did not have a dental pick or "hook" tool so I fashioned a hook out of a clothes hanger. But it turns out the little white piece would not simply pull into place for me. So I figured out how to remove the entire left side panel (screw in back inside flip-open panel, pressure-release tabs all around) and was able to access the compartment with the white piece. I had to reposition the white piece back onto a small rod that it pivots on, and carefully push it back into place so that it is in place through the opening you show in your video as seen from the front, and so that the small white "finger" (very thin part of the white plastic piece) was through a guide slot, through which the finger travels when one inserts the tray which pushes on the white piece. Seems to be working now. Also seems like it's waiting to happen again (white piece sliding off the small rod) but we will see! Thank you!!
Gregory! you saved me from buying a new printer with an extended warranty. Your advice was on the money and that spring was a pain too. I should have taken pictures to help the next guy
it took a few minutes to figure out where the screw was.....but excellent "little farther" fix. Thank you all for instruction on fix! This totally gave me confidence.
It will happen again, the tab is broken and shouldn't move in that manner. The part is LY2579001, can be found on Amazon or eBay for $5 - $10. The "small white finger" you reference should have a small hook at the end to hold it in position in the "guide slot" from moving left and right (when viewed from the front). Here is a link the reference what I'm talking about.

After getting in touch with Brother Australia and being told by them, without any checks or technical advice to take it to a repairer. I googled the problem and your clip came up and sure enough within 2 minutes our printer was working like a dream. Thanks to you (saved me $120) and no thanks to Brother Australia.... not impressed at all. Cheers mate
I can’t believe this worked lmaoooo after messing with my printer for hours it was as simple as the white tab part.
Exactly the same process of hours then the stupid little white tab haha!
Thank you so much you fixed my problem! I can't believe how this stupid little piece of plastic stopped the entire printing process.
Thank you sir..I checked everythign on my printer including cleaning the rollers, removing the cartridge, verifying paper size, checking the settings and nothing worked. Until I saw your video on the little white button on the side..whatever that button does must affect the sensing of paper..it worked! thank you much!!
You're welcome, I have another video on my channel regarding this issue. If that part slides, it's broken so it will most likely slide out of place again. Thanks for the comments!
I am using this printer for ages and thanks to this little “repair” i am good again. Thank you for sharing!
I did make another video of a permanent fix where that little plastic piece is replaced. It's worth a watch, I think it's only 4 mins long. Thanks for the kind words Sir!
TOTALLY DID THE TRICK! It was the white tab you mention at the end! THANK YOU. Now, back to work.
Awesome! That white tab was it for me... I pulled it out and it worked. Thanks for the video
My neighbor threw out a HL-2700. Only manually feeding. Cam to this UA-cam, pulled the white tab out and it works now. Brand new toner and Cartridge as well!!
Oh my gosh, you saved me and my favorite printer/scanner! That little white button on the left was half way in, I pulled out and problems fixed. Thank you sooooooooo much!
I do have another video on a permanent fix. It's most likely that part is broken so it will eventually slide out of place causing it not to print again. Hope it helps!
Thank you. That white piece was my friends problem. I could make out that the piece is broken, so I will send her your other video.
Thank you so much! I had already written off my printer as garbage when I came across your video, and now it works again!!! Thank you
Thank you!!!!! The white tab worked!!! You just saved me from buying a new printer!!!
That fixed it. Thanks for helping me diagnose the problem. I'll replace the part if I find it is broken. Excellent video!
This fixed my printer perfectly. Thanks for your help.
Be aware this is just temporary in most cases. I did post a video on replacing the part. I think it is linked in the video description.
Thanks so much for the tip about the white tab at 2:98. Save me the cost of a new printer. Never would have figured it out without youtube.
I have a Brother HL-2280DW printer and this "fix" worked perfect! Thank you so much Chad!!!
Did you had to change roller or just cleaned them. I have the same model too.
Hey thanks, the little white tab in left window did the trick.
This fixed my issue, thank you very much. I have been using this Brother printer for 9 years, it is still running pretty good.
Great! I was searching and trying and cleaning since 6 month. And this morning, with your advice, it's fixed! Thank you very much
Thank YOU! the little white tab did the trick. Very frustrated would have smashed it with a sledge hammer! Now if manual guide would print straight instead of crooked
I have the same printer and this video was very helpful and thanks to you I don’t have to buy a brand new printer. Thank you so much! and also I appreciate you for getting right into the video and skipping the bs!
You are an absolute GENIUS! Thank you so much - was just about to go and buy a new printer - there's life in the old girl yet!
This worked for me! Cleaned the rollers and moved that white tab and it worked perfectly right after. Thank you!!
Awesome! I watched a few videos on my 2280DW no paper error. Nobody else mentioned that little white tab the you did, and that fixed it. Thanks so much! I was about to give up on the machine, so I really appreciate your video!
OMG...
You are a savior...
This worked. I tried so hard doing all sort of things for 5 days.
Thank you so much for making this video
incredible! the tech at bestbuy almost had me buying a new printer at $400 for this little tab! Thank you soooo much... planned obsolescence or consumer fraud at its best
I did create another video on replacing that part so check it out since it may apply to you
Thank you!!! I did everything but that little white thing... Give yourself a raise!!!!
Haha, I created another video on fixing it permanently. Check it out since that part may float around (if broken) even after sliding it back into place.
You just saved me a couple of hundred bucks... thanks!
Your fix worked on my printer. Thanks. No more manual feeding
Thanks for clear instructions to an easy fix..... I would have replaced this printer with a new one as it is at least 6 years old and not worth the cost of sending to the repair shop.😀
This worked!! The little white tab was the problem. I couldn't get it out so we cut a hole in the side and pushed it out. Works like new now! Mine is a 2280 model.
The white tab issue did the trick! Thanks for sharing
Surprising that this isn't mentioned in Brother's manuals. I wonder what that little thing is there for? But the trick surely worked!
I honestly don't know but I assume the part is getting stripped out for some reason. If I replace the part I will definitely make another video
Thank you! Exactly it is the white tab!
woooooow. I thought no way, some little white tab will work. Thank you very much for putting this up. Much appreciated. Brother should know this.
Amazing, it worked!!!! I wasted so much time till I saw this video. THANKS
U R THE MAN!!!! I had to pull it out a couple of times to get it to work. If I push the tray in so that it's pushing to the left, it presses it back to far??? BUT if I push in tray and hold to right side it works PERFECT!!! Wonder whay Brother doesn't mention that and I wonder what it's called and if it's supposed to be spring loaded??
Thank you! my printer is fixed by the little white tab...
thanks man! tried the brother's troubleshooting video but did not work, the white tab is what fixed mine.
had to use a dremel and carve access hole to reach the white tab, but got it working. Thanks!!
That little white f***k tab...that all it took! I was pulling my hair trying to fix this. Thank you!
The little white tab was the problem. Worked. Thanks :-)
Awesome, thx! The pushed in clip at the end of your video did the trick. Although I did follow the initial cleaning steps, including removal of the roller to clean more thoroughly, it wasnt until I pulled out the clip that it worked again.
Thanks for the helpful video clip! Essential fix during this crises period when shops are closed.👍🏻😃
Thanks for your help Chad, this video helped out, pulling out the white tab did it.
Thanks brother I appreciate your information which was very helpful ! I used a paper clip to bring the white tab out- little f was hiding !
Yes a real brother, unlike the other Brother that has a design defect and won't provide a simple fix.
Wow it worked!! Shocked and very pleased!! Thank you!!
Thanks mate. This temporary fix solved my problem. If it comes up again I'll implement your permanent fix. Great job on explaining this issue!
AMAZING! The little white tab fix did the trick! Thanks so much for making this video. You are a hero!
Hallelujah! You saved my bacon, thanks......
fixed my printer today because of this, thanks!
Pulling the tab out fixed mine.
Thank you so much, this video needs more upvotes and views. Thank you, you saved me from buying another printer.
You saved my day and printer. Thanks much
This worked! Thank you so much! What a simple solution to a big problem :)
That tab at the end was the fix for me. Thanks
youre the greatest detective/genius. thank you.
Thanks so much. So may years printing 1-1 thinking it was broken thanks
The problem in mine was the little white dot that was hiding, oh my God thank you again
Thanks, it worked. I blamed it on my wife and now I have to take it all back!!!!!! Much appreciated
Wonderful !!!! It works perfectly for me. I struggled many days with the printers with no hope. Thanks so much for your video
Freaking white tab! WTF?! Why did Brother make that piece movable??? Then I pushed it further out and had to remove the whole damn side panel!! You should add a segment on how to remove the side panel. It's held together by plastic tabs and is difficult to remove. This video saved my sanity during this covid-19 home schooling nightmare.
I will definitely be making a part 2 of this video. My white tab moved back under light use after about 4 months. This begs the question, is it a bad part, bad design or both? Thanks for the comments as always!
Pefect / It saved me from buying a new printer / Thanks for the efforts doing the video
Thanks MATE!!!! the white tab fix - you saved me.
Omg my printer was driving me nuts and it was the white pick that did the trick!!
Pulling the white tab did it ! I turned the printer vertical for a better view and used nose pliers. How in the world did you figure that out?
Thank you SO Much !! I did it followed your instructions.
Worked like a charm! I can't believe it was so simple. 😯🤓
Thank you so much this fixed my no paper error for me. It was the white tab part, Your wonderful
Omg pulling the white switch out worked. Thank you so much!!!!
