Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If the printer makes repeated engagement noises without picking up paper, the E-0004 confirms a tracción failure. Always check that the tray is not locked too tightly against the feed mechanism.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power off the printer immediately to prevent motor strain.
  2. Remove the paper tray and check for any torn sheets or foreign debris.
  3. Clean the pickup rollers gently using a soft, lint-free cloth.
  4. Reinstall the tray, ensuring it clicks into place securely.
  5. Restart the printer and attempt a test print.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Avoid overfilling the tray beyond its designated capacity. Monthly cleaning of the pickup rollers significantly reduces the likelihood of feed errors.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists even with an empty tray, there may be an internal failure of the motor clutch or the registration sensor that requires professional intervention.
