Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

Error E-02 is indicated when the printer attempts to feed but halts immediately. Verify that your input tray isn't overfilled and that the paper guides are snug against the stack.

Step-by-step Solution

  1. Access Feed Area: Turn off the printer and open the front panel.
  2. Inspect & Extract: Gently pull out any jammed paper pieces while checking the interior for obstructions.
  3. Re-align: Ensure paper is correctly loaded in the input tray without buckling.
  4. Restart: Re-insert the toner and restart to reset the internal sensors.

Maintenance and Prevention

Regularly wipe rubber feed rollers with a soft, clean cloth dampened with distilled water to maintain surface grip. Never use thick or coated paper that exceeds the supported weight.

When to Call a Technician

If the rollers are visibly turning but are unable to pick up paper even when clean, they may need to be replaced due to surface hardening.
