Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The error E-02 signals an interruption in the output path. Before performing heavy lifting, visually inspect the rear output tray and the area behind the front cover. If the output sensor is covered, the printer will immediately suspend all tasks for safety, protecting the fuser from permanent damage.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Open front cover: Open the front door to locate jammed paper near the drum unit.
  2. Remove paper: Gently pull out the stuck paper, ensuring no fragments are left behind.
  3. Check output: Open the rear or top tray to ensure the paper path is completely clear.
  4. Reset: Close all covers; the printer will auto-detect the path and reset the cycle.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Reduce E-02 occurrences by fanning your paper stack before loading to separate sheets. Wipe the rubber feed rollers with a soft, slightly damp cloth each time you install new toner. Using genuine toner also helps keep the internal paper path cleaner for longer periods.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the printer displays the E-02 code even when the path is entirely clear, the output sensor may be faulty or permanently blocked by internal debris, necessitating technical inspection.
