Error E051: The horizontal registration HP detection has an error.
sub code 0001- After the start of horizontal registration HP detection,
the HP sensor is not off within 5 sec
(i.e., not leaving home position).
MEMO:
Remedial action: If an error is detected in the course of horizontal
registration HP detection at power-on, the
machine will indicate the presence of a jam.
At the start of horizontal registration
detection in the course of printing, the
horizontal
registration detection operation for
downstream paper does not end within 5
sec.
sub code 0003 - Replace the horizontal registration HP sensor. Replace
the horizontal registration motor.
Replace the stackless transport driver PCB. Replace
the DC controller PCB.
The horizontal registration sensor moves to the start position (A4 detection position) when the main power
switch is turned on or the front cover is closed, and moves to a detection position to suit the size of paper
expected in the lower feeding assembly. Its position of etection is "paper width +2 mm."
The paper detection mechanism starts when paper moved to the lower feeding assembly has moved past
the confluence sensor (PI 15) and has been moved over a specific distance (about 10mm past the horizontal
registration sensor).
The position of paper is detected with reference to the start position and by finding out the difference between
the start position and the actual paper position from the number of drive pulses (1 pulse = about 0.16
mm) of the motor.

If u swapped 3 duplex units and error stays with problem machine, u have an internal connection issue in printer .
**Knowledge is time consuming, exhausting and costly for a trained Tech.**
If u swap a working unit from a working printer to a Problem Printer and issue is same on Problem Printer , u need to look at Internal Issues on Problem Printer.
If u swap units from Problem Printer to the working printer, and issue does not travel to working printer, issue is Internal on Problem Printer.
If issue travels to working printer with Problem Printer units, u have a Big Headache ahead

OK... since you swapped out 3 duplex units and the problem stays with the machine, the issue HAS to be on the machine.
I would remove the duplex unit completely and look at the back of the machine inside. There's a connector that the duplex unit plugs into when you close it, and you very likely have a scrap of paper or something inside that connector preventing it from making full contact.
