Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If the display says 'No Paper' while the tray is full, the paper isn't reaching the registration sensor. Check if the paper guides are correctly set and ensure the paper isn't curled at the edges.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Remove the paper tray and take out all the paper.
  2. Clean the pickup rollers: Wipe them gently with a damp cloth to remove accumulated paper dust.
  3. Inspect the sensor: Ensure no small torn pieces of paper are blocking the registration sensor flag.
  4. Reload paper: Adjust the paper guides so they touch the edges of the stack without bending it.

Prevención y mantenimiento

  • Fan the paper: This reduces static and helps the rollers pick up single sheets.
  • Roller cleaning: Keep rollers clean to ensure consistent feeding throughout the life of the machine.
  • Use quality paper: High-quality bond paper prevents dust accumulation inside the printer.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the printer still refuses to pick up paper after roller cleaning and alignment, the paper feed sensor might be stuck or broken, requiring internal inspection.
