Error 51 is a "Loss of beam detect error". It means there is a problem with
the laser scanner. It could be a loose connection, a broken fiber optic
cable, or the shutter isn't opening, among other things. There is a shutter
that prevents the laser beam from escaping when the cover is open or the
toner cartridge is missing. If the tab on the cartridge is broken, it won't
open the shutter. Try a different cartridge, otherwise it will need a
check-up....
