Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

If the 0x61 error occurs immediately after loading paper or after a poorly cleared jam, the cause is usually a small paper fragment trapped in the roller teeth.

Step-by-step Solution

  1. Turn off the printer immediately.
  2. Open the paper tray and visually check the condition of the feed rollers; remove any dirt.
  3. If you see a paper jam, remove it slowly. Do not pull roughly or you could damage the paper sensor.
  4. Turn on the unit and wait for it to perform the automatic cleaning cycle.

Prevention and Maintenance

Avoid using very rough paper or adhesives. Clean the rollers with a slightly dampened cloth once a year if the printer has high usage.

When to call a technician

If after cleaning the rollers and checking there are no jams, the motor keeps making a constant noise without moving, the feed motor has failed internally.
