Error message that transport cover on my GX4020 is open, but it isn't

Ed8 — Mon, 02 Sep 2024 16:48:59 GMT

I recently set up my new GX4020 Tank printer and tried to load and print cardstock using the flat bed feeder. First, I got a message that the paper was not loaded, so I selected print anyway. Then I receive an error message to check the transport cover that it may have been removed. That is not the case, it is securely inserted. Both the main cassette and rear paper trays work OK with no error messages. Could it be that my cardstock is too thin? It will feed through and print ok using the rear paper tray.

Hi, I have the same kind of issue on the GX4050.
I want to print cardboard from the rear tray.
I get the support code 1263.
I don't understand this error keeps coming, even the transport cover is in place.

What to do?

Hello,

The issue could be caused by the thickness or size of the cardboard. We would be happy to assist, but we would need some additional information to assist further. You can reply to this message with the information below and we can provide some troubleshooting steps or suggestions.
