Error 077-106 Xerox VersaLink C500N: Paper Jam
The Xerox VersaLink C500N error 077-106 indicates a paper feed jam from the main tray towards the registration area. This error triggers when feed rollers fail to move the sheet or a passage sensor fails to detect the paper within the allotted time. It is a classic mechanical issue often resolved by correcting paper loading.
Common causes
- 1Incorrectly adjusted paper guides in the tray.
- 2Humid paper causing pages to stick together.
- 3Worn pickup rollers slipping on the sheet.
- 4Paper loaded beyond the tray limit mark.
Solutions
