Common causes

  • 1Debris in paper path: Small paper scraps block the sensor.
  • 2Worn pick-up rollers: Dust reduces friction, causing feed failures.
  • 3Misaligned sensor: Hardware displacement prevents detection.
  • 4Unsupported paper weight: Over-thick cardstock triggers jam detection.

Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

The E-02 error is identifiable by the printer's inability to pull paper during the print startup. If the printer attempts to feed but stops immediately, the sensor is likely triggering a safety halt due to an obstruction.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Power off: Unplug the device to prevent electrical issues.
  2. Inspect tray: Check the paper path for obstructions.
  3. Clean rollers: Wipe the feed rollers with a dry cloth.
  4. Restart: Reconnect and reboot the system.

Prevention and Maintenance

Use compressed air to clean internal sensors periodically. Always fan your paper to reduce static before loading. High-quality original toners help maintain a clean machine internal environment.

When to Call a Technician

If cleaning the rollers does not stop the E-02 error from recurring, the physical sensor arm may be broken, requiring a professional replacement.
