Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The J1001 error identifies a physical interruption in the main paper path. The machine will stop abruptly and show the specific location of the sensor. Open the lower tray to verify if the paper is crumpled or if the feed rollers are dirty.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Open the indicated tray according to the touchscreen and remove any stacked paper.
  2. Inspect the internal path for any small torn paper fragments that may be obstructing the sensors.
  3. Clean the pick-up rollers with a dry cloth slightly dampened with distilled water.
  4. Close all covers and ensure the paper stack is well-aligned and does not exceed the maximum capacity marks.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Do not load damp paper or paper that has been exposed to the elements, as excess moisture causes sheets to stick together. Always adjust the side paper guides to the actual paper size to avoid misfeeds. Replace feed rollers if the machine slips when trying to pick up a sheet.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the J1001 code persists after removing all paper, the registration sensor might be misaligned or faulty. Do not attempt to manipulate internal sensors with metal tools, as you could cause a short circuit on the control board; contact service support.
