Common causes

  • 1Physical obstruction in the paper feed path.
  • 2Worn internal motor bearings or gear slippage.
  • 3Excessive friction in the roll support assembly.
  • 4Faulty motor position sensor.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If the motor makes grinding noises, there is likely a mechanical obstruction. Look for torn paper shreds near the feed rod or drive system.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power off the printer and unplug it.
  2. Open the top cover and remove the jammed paper roll.
  3. Inspect the feed path for debris or residue.
  4. Manually check for rotation of the feed rollers, ensuring no heavy resistance.
  5. Plug in and restart to initiate the motor self-test.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Use standard quality paper to ensure minimal resistance in the feed rollers. Regularly wipe the internal rollers with a clean, dry cloth.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error continues with no paper loaded, the feed motor assembly has likely failed and needs professional technical service.
