  2. Inspect the internal cavity for paper clips, debris, or jammed pages.
  3. Verify the paper guides are not clamping the paper stack too tightly.
  4. Power cycle the machine by turning the main switch off.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Always fan the paper stack before loading it. Ensure you do not exceed the tray capacity marked on the side. Regular cleaning of the feed rollers with a moist lint-free cloth will significantly increase reliability.
