Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If the printer makes a loud 'clicking' noise before stopping, this is a clear sign of a gear or paper jam rather than an electronic board fault.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power off the device.
  2. Open the access doors.
  3. Inspect the roller and gear paths.
  4. Remove any loose or ripped paper.
  5. Restart after 5 minutes.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Only use paper that meets specifications (80g/m²). Avoid overfilling the tray, which often leads to multi-sheet feeding and jamming.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the motor makes no sound and the error returns, the motor drive board or the motor itself may be faulty.
