This is a great location to get assistance! I read your post and see that you are getting E1 error. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
Reset the printer.
- Turn the printer on, if it is not already on.
- Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
- Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
- Wait at least 60 seconds.
- Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
- Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
- Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
- The printer might go through a warm-up period. The printer lights might flash, and the carriage might move.
- Wait until the warm-up period finishes and your printer is idle and silent before you proceed.
✔️Look for jammed paper.
✔️Make sure the ink cartridge carriage moves freely.
✔️Use an automated tool to clean the paper rollers.
✔️Manually clean the paper rollers inside the input tray.
☑️Error Displays (Paper Jam) for more troubleshooting steps.
Let me know how it goes.
I hope it helps and if you feel I have answered your question and concerns,
Please mark this post as a solution accepted and Kudos would also be appreciated.
