MGM2522 Printer Has Orange and Green Lights Interchangeably 2x Times

[KGN26569]

I have recently set-up the printer after receiving it as a gift and am finding that I am unable to print anything. When I do try to print, I get error code 5100. While I've had the printer on the orange and green lights are blinking interchangeably twice before pausing and then repeating the same process.
