Solutions

Troubleshooting Tray 1 Lift Error C-0202

This code typically occurs due to sheets slipping behind the tray frame or dust coating the upper-limit photointerrupter sensor.

Solution 1: Clear Paper Displacements and Reset Guides

If paper sheets are crammed or the side guides are too tight, the internal metal lift tray will bind.
  • Pull Tray 1 completely out of the copier housing.
  • Clear out all media and check the back cavity for fallen or curled sheets wedged behind the metal frame.
  • Readjust the plastic width and length guides so they lightly touch the paper stack without bowing it.

Solution 2: Clean and Inspect the Upper Limit Sensor Flag

The copier stops the lift motor once the paper stack pushes up a small plastic actuator flag.
  • Peer into the ceiling of the empty tray cavity.
  • Locate the small, black plastic hanging sensor lever.
  • Gently flick it to make sure it moves up and down freely without sticking.

Steps to follow

  1. 1

    Remove Tray 1 cassette

    Slide out the cassette completely and set it on a flat surface to empty its contents.

  2. 2

    Verify plate mechanical drag

    Depress the metal plate manually to verify smooth mechanical counter-spring response.

  3. 3

    Clean the overhead paper sensor

    Wipe down or blow air over the optical sensor array at the top of the feed entry port.
