Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The Kyocera TASKalfa 8353ci error C0180 is generally characterized by a 'Tray Empty' message despite the tray being full. If the machine does not attempt to lift the paper, the issue is confirmed as a sensor or tray-lift fault.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Check the tray: Remove the tray, inspect for debris or misaligned paper stacks.
  2. Clean sensors: Use a dry cloth to gently wipe the tray lift and paper sensors.
  3. Proper seating: Re-insert the tray firmly to ensure all electrical contacts engage.
  4. System Reset: Cycle the power from the main switch to reset the engine logic.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Keep paper trays free of dust and use only high-quality standard paper. Frequent cleaning of rollers and sensors will prevent common paper path errors. Using original TK-8359 toner cartridges keeps the internal environment clean from residual powder.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists after resetting, it likely indicates a failure in the tray motor or the internal wiring harness. Professional intervention is required to test the continuity of the sensors.
