If you see the E002 code, the carriage has likely hit a resistance point. Why does my Fujitsu printer show error E002? Usually, it is a simple physical blockage in the print path.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Power down the device fully.
  2. Release the paper lever to remove tension.
  3. Manually check the carriage path for any small torn pieces of paper.
  4. Clean the rails with a soft cloth to remove old grease or dust.

Prevention and Maintenance

Clean the internal rails regularly with compressed air. Ensure your printer ribbon is correctly seated to avoid snapping. High-quality ribbons extend the lifespan of the print head.
