Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

Paper-jam-0 refers to initial detection by the input sensor. If the printer tries to pull the sheet but stops immediately, poor side guide adjustment or paper wavy from humidity are the primary causes. If no paper is visible, open the front door to check the fuser entrance.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Pull the paper tray out completely.
  2. Look for paper shreds at the entrance (where the roller picks up the paper).
  3. Ensure the paper is stacked evenly and edges are not bent.
  4. Reinsert the tray and ensure side guides hold the paper snugly without over-tightening.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Fan the paper before loading to remove static electricity. Clean the pickup rollers with a cloth slightly dampened with distilled water every 10,000 pages to prevent paper dust from making them slippery.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the sensor continues indicating a jam after removing all paper, the input sensor (flag sensor) may be mechanically stuck or detached, requiring disassembly.
