Xerox D125 error 010-329: Exit Motor Fault
The Xerox D125 error 010-329 indicates an electrical or mechanical fault in the paper exit motor. The system has detected that transport rollers are not reaching correct rotation, which halts printing to prevent serious jams. This fault requires inspection of the paper transport.
Common causes
- 1Paper residue mechanically locking the exit rollers.
- 2Electrical failure of the DC motor moving the exit.
- 3Extreme wear of the transport roller bushings.
- 4Exit sensor obstruction due to excess toner dust.
Solutions
Quick Diagnosis
The 010-329 error manifests when the machine tries to move paper to the output tray but locks immediately. Hearing a strained motor buzz can help identify if the jam is mechanical.Step-by-Step Solution
- Path Verification: Open access doors and check the paper exit path for debris or residue.
- Roller Inspection: Manually verify that exit rollers turn freely without mechanical resistance.
- Reset Cycle: Turn on the printer to allow the system to attempt a new transport motor initialization.
Prevention and Maintenance
Clean the rollers with a microfiber cloth and isopropyl alcohol monthly. Avoid overloading the output tray, as excessive weight can prevent the rollers from turning correctly.When to Call a Technician
If after cleaning the area and verifying manual roller rotation the error continues, the exit motor or motor controller has suffered a critical failure.Equipment Technical Data

Frequently asked questions
You can try to clear visible jams, but if the exit motor has failed electrically, you will need technical service.
Original toner is essential; excess toner dust can saturate exit sensors and cause motor errors.
It appears when the system detects the exit motor does not reach necessary speed or does not move at all.
Perform regular cleaning of the exit rollers and avoid leaving objects near the collection tray.
