Kyocera FS-1041d error E-0006: Paper jam

The Kyocera FS-1041d error E-0006 is the standard warning for a paper jam along the print path. This error arises when input or output sensors detect that paper has not advanced as expected, causing a motor lockout. To fix the E-0006, it is vital to remove the paper following the print flow direction to avoid damaging sensors.

Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

Error E-0006 appears when a piece of paper gets trapped in the fuser or drum unit. Listen for a constant rubbing noise before the message appears on the screen.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Power off: Turn off the machine before extracting paper to prevent sensor short circuits.
  2. Extraction: Open the top cover, remove the toner, and look for jammed paper by pulling gently.
  3. Fuser check: If paper is near the rear output, remove it slowly.
  4. Verification: Ensure no ripped scraps remain, as a tiny remnant can trigger the error again.

Prevention and Maintenance

Avoid paper with staples, clips, or creases. Clean feed rollers periodically with a damp cloth to prevent slippage.

When to Call a Technician

If E-0006 repeats without paper present, the output sensor may be blocked by dust or have failed internally.
