Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If you see error 077-101, check the paper alignment in the tray first. It is a common mechanical issue caused by paper misalignment or dust buildup. Ensure the paper guides are flush against the stack.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Open main tray: Pull out the paper tray where the error was detected to inspect the paper path.
  2. Remove paper: Gently remove any jammed paper or scraps following the direction of paper travel.
  3. Clean rollers: Use a lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water to wipe the feed rollers.
  4. Check sensors: Ensure no paper scraps are blocking the tray detection sensors.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Always store paper in a dry, cool place to prevent humidity buildup. Do not overload the tray beyond the max capacity marks, and perform regular cleaning of the pickup rollers whenever replacing your toner cartridges.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists after cleaning and using high-quality paper, the sensor or the tray mechanism may be faulty and require professional repair.
