Konica Minolta bizhub 350 error C0900: Motor Fault
The Konica Minolta bizhub 350 error C0900 is a failure related to the tray paper feed motor. This code activates when the motor fails to respond or encounters physical resistance while attempting to lift or feed paper into the transport system. Checking for hidden jams in the input tray is critical.
Common causes
- 1Physical paper jam in tray rollers.
- 2Tray lift motor failure.
- 3Blocked or stripped paper feed gears.
- 4Paper end or height sensor failure.
Solutions

If the bizhub 350 does not lift the paper from the tray and shows C0900, confirm the movement problem is isolated to that specific module.Step-by-Step Solution
- Turn off the printer.
- Remove the main paper tray and check for any wrinkled paper.
- Verify the feed rollers spin freely.
- Power on; if the error repeats, the tray motor may be physically blocked.
