Quick Diagnosis

Step-by-step Solution

  1. Remove all pages from the input tray to verify that none are torn or stuck.
  2. Clean the feed rollers with a soft cloth to remove dust buildup that reduces grip.
  3. Reload the stack, ensuring all sheets are straight and not over the capacity limit.
  4. Power cycle the machine to reset the transport logic.

Prevention and Maintenance

Regular roller cleaning is the best way to prevent E-002 errors. Dust-free environments are ideal for scanner health.

When to Call a Technician
