Xerox AltaLink C8045 Error 077-104: Paper Jam Solutions
The Xerox AltaLink C8045 error 077-104 signals a paper jam in the internal transport route or the fuser area.

Always extract the paper along the feed path to ensure safe removal.
Common causes

- 2Damp paper sticking to rollers.
- 3Torn paper pieces trapped after a bad previous jam.
- 4Incorrect paper type setting in the tray.
Solutions
Diagnóstico rápido
The 077-104 is a standard 'stuck sheet' alert. If the printer stops suddenly and shows this code, open the right-side access door to inspect the paper path status.Solución paso a paso
- Power off the unit and open the side access cover.
- Locate the jam and remove the paper gently, avoiding sudden tugging.
- Check the fuser zone for paper debris that might have stuck to the heated roller.
- Close all doors firmly and allow the machine to complete its power-on self-check.
Prevención y mantenimiento
Avoid overfilling the tray, as excessive weight causes feed rollers to slip. Clean rollers with isopropyl alcohol periodically to restore grip.Cuándo llamar a un técnico
