I was in the middle of printing a WordPerfect 4.2 document on my rarely
used FX-286e when I heard an uusual scratching noise. The printer 
than stopped printing. I turned the power on and off a few times (and
checked the connections and paper sensor) and all that happens is the
POWER light is lit and it beeps at me twice, each time with three short
beeps. The ONLINE light doesn't come on nor can I FF or LF nor can I
produce a TEST PRINT.

The manual says (paraphrased): "Check paper and turn it off and on. If
it continues, call a technician."

It continues...

Any idea whats wrong and what it will cost to repair?

Thanks!
