Hi
I have just been grappling with this and can only comment on the findings on my machine, however I should imagine this will be your issue.
The lift motor is the nearest one to the outside at the back of the machine as you pull out tray C, unplug the assembly and remove it (three screws). It is likely that the gear on the motor is plastic, (later machines appear to be brass). Check how free the mechanism rotates, by thumbing the larger gear in contact with the motor, the motion should be smooth, but I suspect you will detect a tight spot which the machine has detected as an eror. If you then remove the motor a - further two screws - the small gear should just slide off - although it may be easier to examine on the shaft, I used a lens (my eyes aren't what they used to be since I passed 40) which revealed a hairline split running down the gear, hence altering the pitch, after marking the position of the defect, putting the motor back on the assembly and then rotating the mechanism discovered that the point it seized was at the fracture mark.
I am about to embark on a quest for a new gear, which I am hoping will resolve the issue without the need for a new motor.
Hope this helps.

This is a problem with the manual tray, there is too much paper and the lift up mechanism won't work. Try feeding in 5 or 6 sheets at a time only. Hope this helps, it did for mine.

Hello,

The Service Req E833 tell us that the optical captor of the multi purpose tray has a problem.

(sorry for my poor english)

Bye
Eric

thanks I know this is the multi purpose tray, but what is wrong??

if I reset the printer it then works for a bit, then comes up with E833 again...

Please help

The error E833 is a fault with the multi purpose tray
