Fujitsu DL3750+ Error E08 | Option Feeder Malfunction
Error E08 on the Fujitsu DL3750+ indicates a mismatch or connection error with the optional Cut Sheet Feeder (CSF) or rear tractor feeders, usually caused by misaligned selection levers or dusty sensors.
Common causes
- 1Paper path selector lever is placed halfway or in the wrong setting.
- 2Gold pins on the optional cut-sheet feeder are dirty or oxidised.
- 3Paper sensor on the optional tray is blocked by paper scrap or heavy lint.
Solutions
Step 1: Align the Paper Selection Lever
If the Paper Path Selector Lever is set to an intermediate or wrong position, the printer throws the E08 state:- Locate the Paper Select Lever on the top-right side of the chassis.
- Adjust the lever completely to your desired source (forward for sheet feeds, backward for tractor feed).
- Ensure the lever snaps firmly into the selected detent. If it floats loosely, the micro-switches inside will trigger E08.
Step 2: Clean Contacts and Reinstall the Optional CSF
If you have an optional sheet feeder unit attached:- Turn off the printer power.
- Unmount the optional cut-sheet feeder from the printer back.
- Clean the gold connection terminals on both the feeder unit and the printer interface with a dry cotton swab to eliminate dust and paper particles.
- Push the CSF firmly back in place until it clicks securely. Turn the printer back on to verify.
Steps to follow
- 1
Adjust Paper Selection Lever
Ensure the selector lever is fully locked in either continuous form mode or single sheet mode.
- 2
Clean Feeder Contacts
Unhook the optional feeder and wipe its connection interface with a dry cloth to clear dirt build-ups.
- 3
Verify Sensor Status
Blow compressed air into the tractor feed housing to clean the micro-sensors of any obstructive fibers.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. If you don't require the optional CSF feeder, you can detatch it, select the standard rear tractor path with the side lever, and print normally without seeing E08.
This could mean the internal return spring or mechanical link is broken. If so, the switch will fail to trigger correctly, sending constant E08 or E01 faults.
