400: Paper Size Error / 401: Multiple sheet feed error
Condition
Error indicating that the detected size is not the specified size. The printer ejects the paper, then, displays the error.
* Error 401 may occur along with Error 400 when the paper is fed from the tray.
Cause
There are several possible causes for this problem.
1. Hopping roller or Registration roller cannot transport paper because they have become dirty with paper dust, etc.
2. A piece of paper, foreign substance, etc., has got stuck in the IN1 or IN2 sensor lever.
3. IN1 or IN2 sensor motion failure.
4. Sheets are sent stuck together due to large friction (due to static charge, etc) (Multi feeding).
How to remove the jammed paper
1. If Error 400 or 401 occurs by itself, paper is ejected. So there’s no need to remove the paper. Open/close the top cover.
Check Points

Fan paper well and align the
edges, then, set them in the tray.
