Discharge of the code 5100
1. Turn off printer.
2. retaining button Stop/Reset (red triangle in the circle) press button POWER - indicator it will light up with green color.
3. let go button Stop/Reset, continuing to hold POWER.
4. press button Stop/Reset 2 times, while holding POWER button, after which you will let go all buttons.
5. when indicator is lit BY Solid GREEN - press Stop/Reset 4 times! (this is the key)
6.turn off printer by POWER button, then turn on.

Here's what worked for me in getting rid of the 5100 code so I could print. Using the buttons for Menu and Settings, find the option line that says Restore Factory Settings--I think it's on the Maintenance menu. When you choose this option, it asks you to confirm that you want to restore the original factory settings, Yes or No. When I said Yes to this, I stopped getting the 5100 error and the funny noises and the feeding of a blank sheet of paper when I turned the computer on. I don't know if this will work for anyone else, but it sure fixed the problem for me. It's worth a try.
Alternatively:
This is a carriage error
Make sure there is no paper inside the machine and that the cartridges are inserted correctly
Make sure the tape is compltely removed and there is nothing blocking the carriage
If none of that works the carriage assembly needs to be replaced

It really is just a note to self. Scroll on by. Nothing much to see here.
