Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The 042-326 error usually manifests as a complete system lock. It frequently occurs after a paper jam is cleared incorrectly, leaving a small shard of paper obstructing the sensor.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power off: Shut down the printer and unplug the power cable for 60 seconds.
  2. Check trays: Remove all paper trays and check the paper path for debris.
  3. Clean sensors: Wipe the paper guide sensors carefully with a lint-free cloth.
  4. Reboot: Plug in and power on the machine to test.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Keep the workspace free of excess dust to protect optical sensors. Use certified Xerox paper to minimize paper dust residue. Regular roller cleaning is vital for system longevity.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists after checking the path and cleaning the sensors, professional service is required to replace the malfunctioning sensor.

Frequently asked questions

This error signals a fault in the paper exit sensor. It occurs when the system fails to detect the paper passing through correctly.

It is usually a physical blockage, but persistent errors might indicate a faulty sensor needing replacement.

It uses the Xerox PrimeLink C9070 toner series. We suggest using genuine supplies to maintain print quality.

Preventative maintenance every 50,000 prints or when working in dusty environments is recommended.
