Lexmark MS622de error 31.01: Paper Jam Solution
The Lexmark MS622de error 31.01 indicates a paper jam detected within the input tray area. This code triggers when the printer senses that a page failed to reach the registration sensor within the allotted window. Users often ask why does my printer show error 31.01, and the cause is frequently related to misalignment or improper paper loading. Keeping the rollers clean is key to preventing this issue in high-speed printing environments.
Common causes
- 1Overfilling the input tray beyond the capacity limit.
- 2Using paper outside the weight specifications.
- 3Debris or small torn pieces blocking the registration sensor.
- 4Rubber roller wear causing inefficient paper pickup.
Solutions
Diagnóstico rápido
Error 31.01 points directly to the input path. If you can see the paper, remove it carefully. If not, small debris from previous jams might be blocking the sensor trigger located near the front of the feed rollers.Solución paso a paso
