Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

This error appears on the LCD panel when the printer cannot pull paper into the print path. If you hear the feed motor running but no paper is moved, it is a definitive sign that the rollers have lost their grip due to paper dust or debris.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Remove tray: Pull the paper tray out of the printer entirely.
  2. Inspect for debris: Check the interior for any paper scraps or dust blocking the sensor.
  3. Clean rollers: Wipe the feed rollers with a dry, lint-free cloth to restore grip.
  4. Restart: Reinsert the tray and power cycle the printer to reset the error.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Always fan the paper before loading and ensure the side guides are snug. Regular cleaning of the roller area with a soft cloth prevents future issues. Use genuine ink to maintain internal printhead health.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists after thorough cleaning and paper re-alignment, the feed sensor may have failed, requiring professional hardware repair.
