Error Message My Printer is giving me an error message saying Paper Seection Error. Brother M4318 printer not working & coninue blink red light

If it still prints ignore it.
if you rather call the vendor. Ifyou're under warranty. They may replace or repair it.

Error description:

The Attention (red) light is blinking. There are six possible causes that will display the Attention light pattern:

-Paper out
-Door open
-Print cartridge missing
-Paper jam
-Paper sensor jammed
-Duplexer error

Solution :
After the cause of the problem has been addressed, pressing GO will cause the printer to attempt to recover from the cause of the error. If the printer is unsuccessful, it will continue to display the Attention message until the cause is remedied.

Pressing JOB CANCEL will cancel the print job and the printer will return to the Ready state (Ready light on) unless there is a paper jam still in the printer or the print cartridge is not in the printer.

Does the red light blink or stay on sterady?


Issue: The Compact Photo printer power button is blinking red.


Solution: Turn the Compact Photo printer off, then back on again.

"Paper Jam" appears on the digital camera LCD Turn the printer off and disconnect the power cord from the printer. Then reconnect the power cord and power on the printer. If the printer fails to eject the paper, the printer may require service. Contact the Canon Customer Support help desk for assistance.


When you power down I would recommend also unplugging the printer from the power supply (wall outlet). Let it rest 5 - 10 minutes and then plug back in.

The manual says a blinking red power light indicates a problem in the printer, but the only solution provided it to turn off and on.

If there are no paper jams, and no other error messages hoepfully a completr power down will clear the error.


Issue: Printer's power button lights red without the camera's LCD monitor displaying any error message.

There is a malfunction in the printer.

Remove the paper from the paper-handling slot and take up any slack in the ink sheet. Turn the printe's power off and turn it on again.

If none of this helps I would check to see if my driver is current:

There is probably still part of the sheet in the fuser at the back of the machine. The fuser will need to be removed and checked for scraps of paper and/or damage to the temperature sensor and v likely a dislodged paper sensor arm.

Look for any small rips of paper caught in a sensor back there. There are little "fingers" that the paper runs over and its all timed. if one of those sensors are jammed with something or sticky, error messages.

Blinking wit general error message : head carriage error. It cause by head cannot move to parking position or chip at ink tank not good connected. Try to use another chip. Just turn off printer for a moment for clearing epprom.

open and check for paper in the back. sometimes a corner may have been caught in there and will give you the error.
