Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

Error 01002 is displayed on the LCD panel accompanied by a cessation of all printing processes. Inspect the paper path to confirm that the blockage is preventing the mechanical rollers from moving freely.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power off the printer and unplug the power cable to ensure safety.
  2. Open the front cover and remove the toner cartridge assembly.
  3. Clear the jam by gently pulling the paper out in the direction of the paper flow.
  4. Check the rear door if the paper is not visible from the front.
  5. Close the printer securely and turn it back on to initialize the sensor check.

Prevención y mantenimiento

  • Paper Alignment: Always lock the side guides against the stack of paper to prevent skewing.
  • Environment: Keep paper in a dry place; moisture makes paper curls, causing frequent jams.
  • Cleaning: Clean pickup rollers with a lint-free cloth every 2,000 pages to maintain traction.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists after clearing all visible paper, or if there is a persistent grinding noise, an internal sensor or a broken gear may require professional repair.
