Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

Look for grinding noises or physical resistance at the paper exit points. If noises are present, an obstruction is likely causing the motor stall.

Step-by-step Solution

  1. Clear path: Carefully remove any stuck paper scraps near the rollers.
  2. Check for debris: Look for office supplies like staples or paper clips that might have entered the tray.
  3. Power Reset: Leave the machine powered down for 10 minutes before retrying.

Prevention and Maintenance

Using correct paper stock significantly reduces motor stress. Ensure the paper path is clear of any debris or dust.

When to Call a Technician

If the machine fails to initialize after verifying the paper path is clear, the main motor unit likely needs professional repair.
