Solutions

Diagnostic

The E-22 error appears if the cartridge chip is dirty, poorly positioned, or if the cartridge itself is incompatible. If you have installed a new toner recently, first verify the safety seal.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Extraction: Open the cover and remove the PC-211 toner.
  2. Chip Cleaning: Use a white eraser on the gold contacts of the toner chip.
  3. Slot Verification: Ensure there are no paper scraps in the input guide.
  4. Reinstallation: Insert the cartridge, making sure it clicks into place.

Prevention and Maintenance

Never force the cartridge when inserting. If using refilled cartridges, ensure the chip is configured correctly for your P2202D model.

When to Call a Technician

If the error persists after trying a second (preferably original) toner, the reader block of the chip inside the printer might be damaged.
