Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The error 505 appears when the printer attempts to feed paper but fails to detect sheets in the drawer. If you hear the motor whirring but no sheet movement, it points to a dirty or worn pickup roller.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Remove Tray: Slide the paper tray completely out of the printer.
  2. Clean Rollers: Wipe the feed rollers using a lint-free cloth dampened with distilled water.
  3. Adjust Guides: Ensure the side guides are snug against the paper stack.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Use high-quality paper and avoid overfilling the tray. Regular roller cleaning every 10,000 impressions keeps the machine running smoothly. Original toner prevents dust buildup inside the printer mechanism.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists after cleaning and re-seating the tray, the sensor or the pickup motor may need a professional replacement.
