Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

If your printer flashes E-1002, the document hasn't triggered the exit sensor correctly. Check the input tray alignment first, as it is the most common cause.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Check the tray: Ensure the paper size guide fits the media stack perfectly.
  2. Manual check: Carefully remove any paper from the fuser output area.
  3. Roller cleaning: Wipe the rubber feed rollers with a clean, dry cloth.
  4. Restart: Re-insert the tray and restart the machine.

Prevention and Maintenance

Always store your paper in a dry, cool environment to prevent curling. Clean the rubber feed rollers every 6 months to maintain high performance and prevent slippage.

When to Call a Technician

If the printer consistently reports E-1002 despite a clean paper path, the motor or the internal paper sensors might require professional calibration.
