Diagnostic information 2-79
5060-4xx
Displayed with no media in MPF
A 250 Paper Jam indicates that the MPF tried to feed a sheet of media from the MPF tray. A 250 Paper Jam may
occur when there is no paper in the MPF, MPF is selected as the paper source, or the MPF sensor is
malfunctioning. If media is in the MPF it may feed normally with no 250 Paper Jam even though the sensor is
malfunctioning.
