Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

Confirm that the error E001-0001 is indeed occurring by verifying if the control panel reports this specific code persistently after a hard restart. This symptom helps distinguish between a temporary media jam and a permanent hardware obstruction.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power down the printer using the main power switch and unplug it from the wall outlet for at least 60 seconds.
  2. Check the main paper tray for any folded or jammed sheets, and gently clear any debris detected.
  3. Clean the rollers with a soft, lint-free dry cloth to remove dust that might cause slippage.
  4. Reboot the device and attempt a test print to confirm the error status.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Always use high-quality paper compatible with high-speed inkjets to minimize jams. Ensure the area is free from excess dust and schedule semi-annual professional maintenance for rollers and sensors. Using genuine ink packs ensures the system operates cleanly without debris accumulation.
