Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If the motor runs but nothing happens, the 400 error is triggered. Check for small paper scraps stuck near the sensor arms, as these are often invisible at first glance.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Check Tray: Remove the paper tray and realign the paper stack.
  2. Inspect Path: Open the rear exit area to search for remnants.
  3. Clean Rollers: Wipe rubber rollers with a clean, dry lint-free cloth.
  4. Secure Covers: Ensure all printer doors click closed to enable sensors.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Do not overload the input tray. Ensure the guides are snug but not tight. Fanning paper prevents static and double-feeds which trigger the 400 error.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error 400 persists after clearing all paths and cleaning the rollers, the feed motor or internal timing sensor might be faulty and requires professional servicing.
