Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

This error appears if the printer thinks it's supposed to be printing on a disc or special media, but it cannot verify the location of the tray.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Remove the tray completely from the printer.
  2. Reinsert it carefully until it locks into the correct position.
  3. Verify PC settings to ensure you aren't accidentally selecting 'Disc Print' for standard paper.
  4. Clean the sensor area gently to remove potential dust.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Store your trays in a safe, dust-free place when not in use. Ensure the insertion path is always clean to avoid sensor errors.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the tray is correctly inserted but the error stays, there is likely a failure in the internal tray-presence sensor, requiring professional assistance.
