How do I resolve an Error Code E6?

This is a "general printer error"  which could be anything other than what is "known"

 

 

Error_CodesDescription
E0Unusable_cartridge
E1Paper_size_mismatch_error
E2Sensor/Paper_length_mismatch_error
E3Ink_carriage_stall
E4Paper_jam
E5Scanner_failure
E6General_printer_error
E9Update_error

 

See if you can access the embedded web page (EWP) and get a better error message

 

If you do a factory reset, you will have to re-configure the network before that embedded web page can be seen.  Try to see the EWP first.
