Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If you hear grinding noises before the message appears, there is almost certainly a paper jam in the output or feed roller. My Epson EcoTank M2170 shows E-02 error frequently? This could be a dirty roller that is slipping instead of grabbing the sheet.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power off the printer and disconnect the power cord.
  2. Lift the scanner lid and the internal housing to access the mechanism.
  3. Carefully inspect the entire paper path, using a flashlight if necessary.
  4. Remove any paper scraps, clips, or staples that might be jamming the sensor.
  5. Close everything, reconnect, and press the 'OK' or 'Start' button to resume.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Clean the feed rollers with a cloth slightly dampened with distilled water whenever you perform a bulk paper load. Avoid using paper with adhesive residues or labels. Use original Epson ink to maintain injector integrity.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists after clearing the path and cleaning the rollers, the paper path sensor may be damaged or out of its original position.
