Konica Minolta AccurioPrint C4065 Error C-3101 Troubleshooting
The Konica Minolta AccurioPrint C4065 error C-3101 is a fault code related to paper timing and synchronization. It occurs when the registration sensor fails to detect a sheet at the correct interval. To fix error C-3101 on AccurioPrint C4065, ensure paper is aligned in trays and clean the transport rollers.
Common causes
- 1Worn feed rollers leading to paper slippage.
- 2Excessive paper humidity causing tray adhesion.
- 3Partial obstruction in the transport path before registration.
- 4Sync sensor calibration error.
Solutions
Diagnóstico rápido
The C-3101 appears when the printer detects a delay in the sheet's arrival time at the secondary registration gate. If the paper arrives skewed or late, the sensor stops the engine to protect the transfer belt.Solución paso a paso
- Tray Check: Ensure the side guides in the paper tray are correctly adjusted to the specific paper size being used.
- Roller Cleaning: Wipe the feed rollers with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth to restore traction.
- Test Print: Run a simple print job to confirm that paper registration is occurring without delays.
- Paper Quality: Verify that paper is not curled or damp, as this inhibits transport speed.
Prevención y mantenimiento
Store paper in a climate-controlled area. Replace feed rollers every 100,000 impressions to maintain optimal grip and prevent slips that cause the C-3101.Cuándo llamar a un técnico
If the error persists after roller maintenance across all trays, the registration sensor itself might be faulty or misaligned, requiring a service call.Ficha técnica del equipo

Frequently asked questions
The C-3101 error indicates a paper registration fault, meaning the timing sensor did not detect the paper arrival on time.
Yes, if paper consistently fails to feed, the rollers may slip, leading to premature wear.
Use high-quality paper certified for laser printers, avoiding paper that has been exposed to high humidity.
Registration can be recalibrated via the device utilities menu if the error persists across all trays.
