Though certainly known more for the innovative computer technology, IBM also offers high-end laser printers for offices and homes.  These machines are fast, reliable, and produce a quality that is more than sufficient for a professional environment.  Some offer multiple functions, such as scanning, copying and faxing, while others are dedicated printers.  Either way, consumers will be satisfied with any IBM printer.  Like all electronics, though, problems can arise, some coming from within the device and others caused by users.  Here is a list of the few most common errors and simple solutions.

Error 22: Out of Paper

This is self-explanatory.  Refill the input tray with paper.

Error 24: Incorrect Manual Feed

If a user is attempted to use the manual paper-feed slot while the printer is using the automatic document feeder, this error will come up.  Be sure to only use the manual feed option when the printer is specifically set for it.

Error 31: Paper Settings

This error usually means that the size of the paper in the tray does not match the paper configuration that is set in the paper settings.  Changing one or the other should take care of it.

Error 89: Overloaded Output Tray

Once so many documents have been printed but not taken off the tray, the machine will stop printing because the output tray is considered overloaded.  Clear the printed pages off the tray and continue.

Error 9920: Incorrect Temperature of Fuser

This could be an issue with the lamp, fuse or thermostat.  Monitor these parts to make sure they are functioning properly.  If they are, it is possible the problem is the voltage.  If you notice these parts are not working right, you may need to replace them or let a technician take a look.

Error 970: Fan Not Working

If the fan is not turning on, this error will appear.  Fans are important because they keep the hard-working machines from overheating.  Contact a technician for this one.
