Solución paso a paso

  1. Remove all paper from the input tray.
  2. Align the sheet stack and reinsert it.
  3. Slide the side guides until they touch the paper, without bending it.
  4. Press the 'Cancel' button and retry from the computer, verifying the page settings are correct.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Avoid loading too many sheets (maximum 60 standard sheets). Keep guides dust-free so they slide smoothly. Always use high-quality paper to prevent subtle jams that trigger the E1 error sensor.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists after perfectly adjusting the paper, the paper presence sensor at the input might be dirty or faulty, requiring professional service.
