Common causes

  • 1High paper moisture: Paper curls due to humidity, disrupting the straight feed path.
  • 2Overloaded input tray: Stacking too much paper causes unnecessary friction during pickup.
  • 3Dirty rollers: Accumulated dust on rubber rollers reduces friction, causing paper slip.
  • 4Non-standard media: Using labels or cardstock that the printer was not designed to handle.

Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The P-04 error is immediately visible if you open the rear or front covers and inspect the feed path. If you see misaligned or crumpled paper, you have confirmed the jam. The control panel will blink with a 'Paper Jam' alert.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power off the printer to disable motors and allow safe access to the interior.
  2. Open the back cover and pull out any jammed paper gently using both hands.
  3. Remove the toner cartridge to verify that the path underneath is clear.
  4. Clean the rubber feed rollers with a cloth and isopropyl alcohol to ensure grip.
  5. Close everything and power on the machine to perform an automatic reset.

Prevención y mantenimiento

  • Use standard weight paper (70-80g/m²) and avoid loading documents with staples or adhesives.
  • Store paper in a moisture-free area to prevent it from curling, which leads to frequent jams.
  • Perform a periodic cleaning of the paper intake rollers every 5000 pages to maintain traction.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error P-04 persists despite clearing all visible paper, the internal paper sensor may be damaged. Please contact a qualified technician for further repair.
