Common causes

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If the error appears despite a full tray, verify if the side paper guides are firmly pressing against the paper stack. If they are loose, the sensor cannot confirm the paper's presence, triggering the error status.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Remove the paper tray completely from the printer base.
  2. Adjust the side guides until they are flush against the edges of the paper stack.
  3. Clean the feed rollers using a lint-free cloth lightly dampened with water to remove dust.
  4. Reinsert the tray ensuring it slides into the home position until you hear a clear click.

Prevención y mantenimiento

  • Do not exceed the 520-sheet maximum capacity to prevent loading issues.
  • Use recommended paper weights (60-200 g/m²) to ensure smooth feeding.
  • Perform routine cleaning of the pickup rollers every 3 months to maintain grip.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists after cleaning and realignment, the physical paper sensor may be broken and require professional hardware servicing.

Frequently asked questions

This is usually caused by loose paper guides or dirt blocking the paper presence sensor.

It is not a major fault; it can almost always be resolved by adjusting the tray guides or cleaning the feed rollers.

Standard 80g laser bond paper is ideal for preventing jams and sensor detection issues.
