Good luck getting your system back to status quo ante.

The beeping and light is probably because either 1.  it doesn't have paper; or
2.  in its pea-brain, the paper is "the wrong size" -- just pick
up the stack and drop it back in and it's usually happy, i.e. this really
means the paper is not in exactly 100% straight.
