Error 1000 — no paper in the rear tray

The rear tray sensor cannot see paper, even when a stack is sitting there.

01 · Identify — does this match what you see?

  • 1000 on screen
  • “Load paper” with paper loaded
  • Paper sits too high or too low

02 · Resolve — follow in order

  1. 1

    Take the paper out, tap the stack square and put it back against the right-hand edge.

  2. 2

    Slide the guide in until it touches without bending the sheets.

  3. 3

    Load fewer than 40 sheets — an overfull tray stops the sensor arm moving.

  4. 4

    Make sure the rear tray cover and paper support are fully opened.

  5. 5

    Press OK to resume the job.

Pro tip

If the job should come from the lower cassette instead, change the paper source in the driver.
