I recently moved, boxes up my office space and unpacked. Is the move a coincidence or the cause? Since unpacking my equipment, my laserjet pro 200 goes into cleaning mode after each printed page. This is very annoying when trying to print a multi-page document. After a printed page, is states cleaning mode then when done displays "device error" on the LCD screen. Press OK and it starts to print the next page. This doesn't stop -- help?!

Make sure that the paper guides in the tray are correct. The problem you are having is very often related to either a paper size setting or a problem with paper not being picked properly and the printer having to try several times to feed the paper, accompanied by multiple sounds of the pickup roller rotating. The reason it cleans is that it thinks that it might have spilled toner on the transfer belt and cleans it to maintain image quality.

Worn pick-up roller needed to be replaced. You may try to clean it to see if it can last for a while.
Another way to do is to change the paper type from plain or else to heavy or cardstock from front panel or from Embedded Web Server which in this way it will slow down M276's printing speed and it will help grabbing paper just in time for the machine.
But you'll need to replace pick-up roller in the end.
