Common causes

  • 1Roller debris: Paper particles preventing rubber roller grip.
  • 2Strained feed motor: Motor won't rotate because the paper tray is overloaded.
  • 3Gear failure: A broken gear tooth blocking the motor transmission.
  • 4Faulty load sensor: Sensor failing to detect paper presence at start.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The 0x61 error in the WF-2910 displays when the printer tries to turn the feed rollers but encounters resistance. If you hear a repetitive "clicking" sound upon startup without paper moving, the issue is mechanical.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Inspect Tray: Remove the paper and look for tiny debris stuck in the input rollers.
  2. Power Cycle: Power off and unplug for 2 minutes to let the motor reset.
  3. Feed Test: Plug and power on; check if the rollers turn freely without straining the motor.
  4. Tray Adjustment: Ensure the tray side guides are snapped securely against the paper edges.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Clean rubber feed rollers with a damp cloth every 6 months. Do not push paper into the tray if it is wrinkled or wet.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the 0x61 code remains after clearing the area and power cycling, the feed motor may be burnt out or the internal sensor may have an electrical failure.

Frequently asked questions

The 0x61 error indicates an issue with the feed motor or the paper sensor, preventing the machine from loading paper.

If there is no paper debris and a hard reset fails, the feed motor likely requires professional service.

Not directly, but non-genuine ink cartridges that leak can damage the internal sensors of the feed motor.

Never force paper into the tray and stay within the load capacity limits listed in the specs.
