Solutions
Diagnóstico rápido

- Clean pickup rollers: Wipe the rubber rollers with a lightly dampened, lint-free cloth to restore grip.

Frequently asked questions
This error is triggered when the printer cannot detect any paper in the tray or the sensor has failed.
Yes, tiny paper shreds trapped inside the tray area can block the optical sensor, causing a 'paper empty' error.
No, this is a paper handling issue. The toner level (Xerox 106R03620) does not affect paper tray detection.
Fan your paper stack before loading and never exceed the maximum paper capacity lines marked in the tray.
