  2. Access the carriage by opening the front door and checking for trapped debris.
  3. Clear the path by removing any small paper scraps or foreign objects.
  4. Wipe the encoder strip using a dry, lint-free cloth to ensure the optical sensor reads the position correctly.
  5. Restart the device after a full minute of disconnection.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Use only media free of adhesive labels or torn edges to prevent internal jams. Clean the roller path regularly to maintain consistent performance. Genuine ink cartridges ensure long-term stability for the internal carriage mechanism.
