Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

Ensure the paper is fully inserted into the tray. If the guides are tight against the stack and the error persists, there may be dust obstructing the sensor path.

Step-by-step Solution

  1. Guide adjustment: Firmly slide guides to the edges of the paper.
  2. Fan the stack: Always fan the paper to prevent sheets from sticking together due to humidity.
  3. Roller care: Wipe rollers with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
  4. Re-seat tray: Push the tray in fully to ensure it clicks into place.

Prevention and Maintenance

Store paper in a dry environment to avoid moisture absorption, which causes misfeeds. Do not exceed the tray's paper limit line.

When to Call a Technician

If the tray sensor is broken or the internal mechanism fails to engage, contact professional support.
