Hello Deb, the 5100 error means there is a paper sensor fault.
To Resolve :
- Turn off Printer and Disconnect Power Supply
- Remove Ink Cartridge and slide Carriage Assembly and Printhead Back and Forth
- Clean the rail against which the assembly slides with tissue to remove any ink residue
- Check Paper feed tray for any pins, lint etc
- Once everything is lean, Turn it back on
