Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding 0x6100004a error!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Make sure the cartridge access door is closed
To avoid errors or other problems, make sure the cartridge access door is fully closed.
Open the cartridge access door.
Remove the paper path cover, and remove any torn paper, labels, or other obstruction that might be inside.
Reinsert the paper path cover, making sure it is fully inserted into the printer so that it does not interfere with closing the access door.
Close the door, ensuring it is fully seated.
