Solutions

Diagnosis

E05 is a warning, not a hard stop. If print quality remains sharp, you can continue working, but keep a spare toner on hand.

Troubleshooting steps

  1. Check status via the configuration menu.
  2. Remove the cartridge, shake horizontally to free up residual powder.
  3. Reinsert and check if the error persists.
  4. If prints are faint, switch to a new PC-310 cartridge.

Maintenance

Stick to quality toner. Poor supplies can leak dust internally, fouling sensors and reducing overall component life.

When to call a technician

If a new cartridge still triggers E05, there may be a faulty drum chip connector or board issue requiring repair.
