Common causes

  • 1Oxidation or dust on tray connection terminals.
  • 2Misalignment of the size-sensing hardware.
  • 3Overloaded tray causing physical strain.
  • 4Internal sensor switch failure due to fatigue.

Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

If the error code displays immediately after loading a tray, check if the tray is detected at all by the UI. If the panel fails to update, you are likely facing a contact issue in the input module.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Pull out the paper tray and inspect the area behind it.
  2. Clean the contact pins on the machine and tray with a soft, dry cloth.
  3. Adjust the tray side guides to the exact paper dimensions.
  4. Re-insert the tray with a firm motion to ensure good connectivity.

Prevention and Maintenance

Do not overfill the tray, as this strains the lift mechanism and sensor arm. Periodically inspect the tray guides and clean the area with a vacuum to remove paper dust.

When to Call a Technician

If the error persists across different trays or the main feed port is damaged, professional diagnostic and repair of the input interface board are required.
