Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

E-01 is the classic indicator that a sheet is stuck or failing to feed correctly. If you notice paper coming out wrinkled or not coming out at all, the issue is likely within the fuser or the registration roller area.

Solución paso a paso

  1. De-energize: Power off the device for safety.
  2. Removal: Open the front panel, remove the toner cartridge, and locate the jam.
  3. Clearance: Pull the stuck paper out gently without tearing it.
  4. Verification: Ensure no tiny scraps of paper remain and re-seat the toner.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Always use dry, flat paper. Avoid overfilling the input tray. Clean the feed rollers periodically with a lint-free cloth to prevent paper dust-induced slippage.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If you see gear damage while removing paper, or if the E-01 persists even when the paper path is clear, the paper presence sensor might be stuck or the motor might be faulty.
