Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

If the E light blinks with the number 2, the system has detected an anomaly in the paper path. Listen for motor straining; if heard, look for visible obstructions in the rear or exit tray.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Disconnect the power cable for safety.
  2. Open the front door and check for paper fragments near the cartridges.
  3. Pull any obstruction with both hands evenly, without jerking.
  4. Reconnect and turn on the device for an automatic path cleaning cycle.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Clean the feed rollers with a lightly dampened cloth whenever you notice paper slipping. Never use reused paper with staples or tape residue. Ensure the paper stack is perfectly aligned before printing.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error persists after cleaning the internal path, the jam sensor may be mechanically stuck or permanently failed.
