Frequently asked questions

This error usually requires a physical cleaning of the feed rollers or the removal of tiny paper scraps from the sensors.

It means an internal sensor is covered in dust or ink, fooling the system into detecting a jam that doesn't exist.

We recommend using standard 75-90 g/m² paper. Very heavy or glossy paper often causes these sensor jams.

We recommend preventative cleaning whenever the device starts slipping while loading pages, or at least every 6 months.
