Common causes

  • 1Debris obstruction: Fragments from previous jams blocking the path.
  • 2Pick-up roller wear: Reduced friction preventing proper paper movement.
  • 3Presence sensor failure: The sensor fails to register proper paper flow.
  • 4Motor overload: Usage of paper stocks exceeding the weight specification.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The C470 error usually displays a "Motor error" message. Check for abnormal humming sounds or if paper consistently stops at a specific point in the internal path.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Clean Sensors: Use compressed air to clean paper path sensors in the input tray area.
  2. Check Trays: Ensure no physical obstructions or misaligned paper are blocking the main tray.
  3. Forced Restart: Power off the device, wait 1 minute, and restart it to clear motor locks.
  4. Test Run: Perform a test print to confirm smooth paper movement.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Clean feed rollers with a damp lint-free cloth every 3 months. Ensure paper is fanned properly before loading to reduce jam risks.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists after clearing the paper path, the motor or a phase sensor may have internal electrical faults requiring replacement.
