Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

E02 is a simple paper-out alert. Verify that the paper is flush against the guide and that the guide is touching the paper edge. If the unit makes noise but pulls nothing, the rollers may need cleaning.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Load paper into the rear tray.
  2. Align the guides snugly but not too tightly.
  3. Press the 'Black' or 'Color' button to clear the error.
  4. Clean the rollers if the paper is not being picked up.

Prevention and Maintenance

Store your paper in a moisture-controlled area. Wipe the feed rollers every 6 months to ensure proper friction against the media.

When to Call a Technician

If the printer sensor fails to detect paper even when loaded correctly, internal component repair is required.
