  2. Inspect path: Use a flashlight to check the printer interior for paper debris.
  3. Correct loading: Adjust the guides to snug-fit the paper without compressing it.
  4. Sensor reset: Reinserting the tray correctly should trigger the sensor and clear the error.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Clean the pickup rollers with a damp, lint-free cloth every 10,000 prints. Ensure the paper is stored in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture-induced curling.
