Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

The E-05 code identifies an interrupted flow in the paper path. It typically stems from misaligned paper in the tray or debris left behind from a previous jam.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Power Off: Ensure the machine is off before performing any physical extraction.
  2. Access Path: Open the front cover and remove the toner to expose the transport area.
  3. Extraction: Remove any stuck sheets gently, checking the area around the fuser at the back.
  4. Resume: Close the printer and let it run a quick startup check.

Prevention and Maintenance

Use proper paper storage to prevent humidity absorption, which causes curling and jams. Clean pickup rollers with a damp cloth every few months.

When to call a technician

If the machine continues to report a paper jam error even after you have verified the internal area is empty, a sensor may have been damaged or dislodged.
