Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

Error E2 appears when the toner reservoir needs to be replenished. If you have recently reloaded and the error persists, the kit's nozzle may not have been rotated fully into the locked position.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Open the toner tank access cover.
  2. Ensure the inserted HP 154 kit is properly locked into position (rotate the nozzle until it clicks).
  3. Remove and re-insert the kit if the error persists.
  4. Close the cover and wait for the system to process the toner level update (up to 60 seconds).

Prevención y mantenimiento

Use exclusively genuine refill kits to ensure the kit's chip is read by the system. Never force open the toner tank manually.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the E2 error does not disappear after using a new kit, there may be an issue with the optical toner sensor inside the reservoir.
