Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

This code typically triggers when the printer attempts to grab a page and fails. Check for visible paper fragments near the tray or input sensor. If the path is clear, debris on the rollers might be the culprit.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power off the printer and unplug it to avoid electrical risks.
  2. Remove the paper tray to inspect the internal cavity.
  3. Clean the rubber rollers using a clean cloth and a drop of distilled water or isopropyl alcohol.
  4. Reload paper correctly, ensuring guides are snug but not tight against the paper stack.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Regular maintenance is key to preventing the error 01-102. Dusting the paper tray area and using high-quality paper reduces sensor interference. Genuine toner cartridges are recommended as they minimize internal toner leakage that can contaminate rollers.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If you have performed all cleaning steps and the error remains, the pickup mechanism or the paper sensor may have suffered mechanical failure, requiring professional repair.
