Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If you hear the motor exerting force but the paper does not advance, it is a C-0100 feed error. Check if the rubber rollers have dirt accumulation or if your paper is too thick for the unit's specifications.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power off the device and remove the input tray.
  2. Clean the top pickup roller with a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with distilled water.
  3. Check for paper scraps jammed in the area where the entry sensor is located.
  4. Reload standard paper and restart the printer.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Avoid using paper heavier than the recommended weight, as this causes premature fatigue on the turn motor, triggering C-0100. Periodically clean the rollers with a lint-free cloth to maintain optimal grip.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the motor remains locked after cleaning the rollers, it is likely that the feeder clutch is damaged and requires professional replacement.
