Common causes

  • 1Memory buffer overload from heavy print jobs.
  • 2Temporary corruption in volatile memory.
  • 3Network IP conflict during boot.
  • 4Hardware failure on the logic board.

Solutions

Quick Diagnostics

If the error appears immediately upon powering on, the logic board initialization is failing. If it occurs after sending a file, the print data likely overwhelmed the buffer.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Power off and unplug the device.
  2. Wait 60 seconds to drain any residual energy.
  3. Cancel all pending jobs in the local computer's print queue.
  4. Power on without network cables attached to verify hardware stability.

Prevention and Maintenance

Avoid sending extremely high-resolution files that exceed memory capacity. Regularly check for official firmware updates, as they optimize memory handling. Use high-quality USB cables to minimize data transmission errors.

When to Call a Technician

If the E-01 error persists despite multiple hard reboots, the main logic board may require professional repair or replacement.
