Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

Code E1 is displayed on the control panel to indicate no paper or a paper jam. Check for small, torn pieces of paper near the fuser area or underneath the toner cartridge.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Open the front door and gently pull out any jammed sheets in the direction of the exit.
  2. Ensure the input tray guides are adjusted to the exact width of the paper used.
  3. Verify the tray is not overloaded (250-sheet maximum).
  4. Close all covers firmly so the door sensors trigger and the error automatically clears.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Use standard 80g paper and avoid damp or crumpled sheets. Periodically wipe rubber rollers with a dry cloth to remove dust buildup from the paper path.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the E1 error persists even with the tray empty after clearing, the paper sensor may be stuck due to debris or mechanically damaged.
