Common causes

  • 1Misaligned paper: Improperly set tray guides cause skewed feeding.
  • 2Dirty rollers: Accumulation of paper dust prevents consistent traction.
  • 3Excessive humidity: Damp paper tends to stick to internal components causing jams.
  • 4Poor cartridge fitting: A loose toner cartridge can physically obstruct the paper path.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The error 01 is confirmed when the front display shows the code and the printer halts all jobs. Check for unusual noises when attempting to feed paper, which usually signals remnants of torn paper inside the feeding rollers.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power off the printer and disconnect it from the wall outlet to reset the sensors.
  2. Open the front cover and remove the toner cartridge to get a clear view of the drum area.
  3. Remove the jammed paper by pulling it gently in the direction of the paper flow; avoid sudden tugs.
  4. Check the input tray and manual feeding slot to ensure no pages are skewed or stuck.
  5. Close all covers and turn the printer back on to allow it to initialize and verify the paper path.

Prevención y mantenimiento

  • Paper Alignment: Always adjust the tray side guides to match the paper size exactly.
  • Paper Quality: Avoid damp, curled, or heavy paper (exceeding 163 g/m²) to prevent jamming.
  • Roller Cleaning: Wipe the pickup rollers with a lint-free cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol every 6 months.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists after clearing all obstructions, there might be a physical issue with the paper presence sensor that requires professional repair or warranty replacement.

Frequently asked questions

It is not a fatal error, but it requires immediate attention. Neglecting a jam can lead to mechanical stress on the rollers or the fuser.

Fan your paper stack before loading and never exceed the maximum capacity of the paper tray.

Use PC-211 series consumables. Poorly manufactured or cheap recycled cartridges may fit incorrectly, leading to mechanical jams.

Perform a preventative cleaning every 5,000 pages or whenever you notice the printer is struggling to pick up paper.
