Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The E2 error triggers when the output or input sensors don't detect steady paper movement. If you hear grinding noises, locate the point where the sheet has stopped advancing.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power off and unplug the device to ensure safety.
  2. Open the lid and remove the HP 44A toner cartridge to inspect the paper path.
  3. Pull out the paper gently with both hands to ensure no remnants stay behind.
  4. Check for torn fragments in the fuser area before resuming operation.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Never overload the input tray (max 150 sheets). Use standard paper; avoid damp or curled media. Periodic cleaning of the rubber rollers with a dry cloth ensures better grip.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the E2 error persists after clearing all debris, an internal exit sensor may be blocked or broken. If the printer keeps flagging the error, reach out to professional support.
