Kyocera copiers are built to handle high-volume printing, but like any machine, they can run into occasional issues. The good news? Most common problems have quick fixes that don’t require a service call. As a copier specialist at Printer Copier Guys, I’ve helped businesses solve countless copier issues, and I’m here to share simple troubleshooting steps to keep your machine running smoothly.
1. Paper Jams
Problem: Your Kyocera copier stops working and displays a paper jam error.
Quick Fix:
- Open the indicated paper tray or compartment and gently remove the jammed paper.
- Look for any torn pieces stuck inside and remove them.
- Make sure the paper is properly loaded, not wrinkled, and within the copier’s supported paper type.
2. Streaks or Smudges on Prints
Problem: Your prints have lines, streaks, or smudges.
Quick Fix:
- Clean the scanner glass and platen with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Run the copier’s automatic cleaning function in the settings.
- If the issue continues, check the toner cartridge for leaks or damage.
3. Faded or Light Prints
Problem: Prints appear too light or uneven.
Quick Fix:
- Check if the toner is low and replace it if necessary.
- Adjust the print density in the copier’s settings.
- Use the correct paper type for the best results.
4. Copier Won’t Turn On
Problem: The machine isn’t powering up.
Quick Fix:
- Make sure the power cable is securely plugged in.
- Test the outlet by plugging in another device.
- Unplug the copier for a few minutes, then restart it.
5. Paper Not Feeding Properly
Problem: The copier isn’t picking up paper from the tray.
Quick Fix:
