Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If the unit shows a no-paper error despite loaded pages, the issue is likely the tray sensor failing to trigger. Check that your paper stack is perfectly aligned and not curled at the edges.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Open the paper tray completely.
  2. Remove all sheets and ensure the empty-sensor trigger moves freely.
  3. Reload the paper, ensuring the side guides are snugly adjusted to the paper width.
  4. Reinsert the tray and press the 'Go' or 'OK' button.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Do not exceed the maximum capacity mark in the tray, as this blocks sensor detection. Periodically clean the pickup roller with a slightly damp cloth to prevent paper slippage.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error message persists after realigning the paper and cleaning the roller, the internal tray sensor might be faulty.
