The Brother HL-L2370DW error No Paper occurs when the internal sensor cannot detect any sheets in the paper tray, even if the tray is full.

- 2Misaligned paper or incorrectly set guides.
- 3High humidity causing paper to clump.
- 4Paper sensor malfunction.
Solutions
Quick Diagnosis
The error is permanently displayed until resolved. Check if the paper stack aligns with the tray's capacity mark. If the rubber feed roller looks shiny or feels slick, it is likely contaminated with paper dust.Step-by-Step Solution
