Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

If the error code e-03 appears, inspect the entire paper path for small torn paper fragments. Often, a tiny piece of paper stuck to the sensor can trigger this code.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Turn off power: Disconnect the power cable to prevent accidental carriage movement.
  2. Remove jammed paper: Open the rear tray and gently pull out the stuck paper completely.
  3. Check feed rollers: Wipe the feed rollers with a slightly damp, lint-free cloth.

Prevention and Maintenance

Avoid overfilling the paper tray. Fan your paper stack before loading to ensure individual sheets separate correctly and use a lint-free cloth to keep the tray dust-free.

When to Call a Technician

If you have cleared all visible obstructions and the error persists after a restart, the paper sensor may be misaligned or faulty.
