Solutions

Quick Diagnosis

If E5 appears, determine which cartridge is the culprit. Inspect the cartridge for dried ink, which can bridge the electrical contacts.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Open the door and remove both cartridges.
  2. Check the gold contacts on the cartridge and inside the printer.
  3. Clean the contacts carefully with a clean, dry lint-free cloth.
  4. Reinstall firmly and close the hatch to trigger re-recognition.

Prevention and Maintenance

Do not touch the gold contact surfaces with your fingers. Reinstall drivers if problems persist.

When to Call a Technician

If cleaning the contacts and testing with a fresh cartridge doesn't work, the internal carriage connector might be faulty.
