Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The error 400 is usually accompanied by a location indicator on the display. If no paper is visible, ensure the paper stack in the tray is properly aligned and the edges are not curled.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Open the front tray and top cover to inspect the internal path.
  2. If paper is jammed, remove it by pulling gently in the direction of the paper flow.
  3. Make sure to remove any small torn pieces, as they can block the optical sensors.
  4. Ensure the paper guides are snug against the paper stack and close all covers to reset the system.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Avoid overfilling the paper tray. Regularly clean the pickup rollers using a lint-free cloth and distilled water. If the error continues, you may need to replace the roller kit.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error 400 persists after clearing the path, one of the optical sensors might be blocked by toner dust or broken. A technician will be needed for professional sensor repair or replacement.

Frequently asked questions

Error 400 indicates a paper jam in the feeding path. The sensors have detected that the paper has not reached the next control point.

Yes. An unaddressed jam can damage the sensors or scratch the surface of the photoconductor drum.

The printer supports paper weights between 64 and 256 g/m². Paper outside these specifications will likely cause jams.

Use a lint-free cloth slightly dampened with distilled water to wipe the feed rollers gently.
