  2. Inspect sensors: Check the small tray presence sensors in the input slot. They must move freely.
  3. Clean contacts: Gently clean the tray connector area with a dry cloth.
  4. Reset cycle: Firmly reinsert the tray and power cycle the printer to restore internal communication.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Avoid slamming the paper tray shut, as this can damage the presence sensors. Perform periodic cleaning of the entry area with compressed air to prevent dust from blocking the sensor actuators.
