Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The 80.05 error manifests when the printer attempts to move a document but the sensor does not confirm its exit or correct position. If you see a flashing red light on the ADF, the jam is confirmed. Inspect the input tray to see if paper is aligned correctly.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Open ADF lid: Lift the top cover of the automatic document feeder.
  2. Remove paper: Gently remove any jammed sheet by pulling it in the direction of the natural flow.
  3. Inspect rollers: Wipe the feed rollers with a slightly damp cloth to remove any paper residue.
  4. Reset sensor: Close the lid firmly so the jam detection sensor can reset.

Prevención y mantenimiento

To prevent this error, always check that original documents do not have staples, tape, or glue residues. Monthly cleaning of the ADF rubber rollers with a damp cloth prevents them from losing traction. Never exceed the maximum number of sheets recommended by the manufacturer for the feeder.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the 80.05 error persists after cleaning the rollers and verifying there are no paper scraps, it might be a fault in the optical paper detection sensor, which requires technical inspection.

Frequently asked questions

The 80.05 error means that a document has not been correctly processed through the ADF or that a piece of paper is blocking the sensor.

It is common when the paper used has staples, clips, or if the ADF rollers have a buildup of dust or toner residues.

Ensure you remove all clips and staples from original documents and do not exceed the ADF's maximum load capacity.

Only distilled water and a lint-free cloth are recommended; avoid chemical solvents that may damage the rubber on the rollers.
