Keep Getting Error Message 5100. Tells Me To Turn Off Printer And Try Again.

After turning back on loud clicking noises are heard and then error message comes up again. Can I somehow clean the rollers in the maintenance mode I see it on there but what do I need to do for that function, any special paper to load, etc...
