02 – Warming Up

An E1 or E2 error indicates that the paper size setting does not match the paper size that is loaded.
Quick fix. Error code e02 occurs due to overheating of the printhead or when the paper is not correctly placed into the input tray and therefore the paper feed rollers are unable to pick up the paper from the paper tray.
The 98.02. 02 code indicates that a disk wipe operation was successfully completed. This is an intentional security procedure that is performed on these models every time the power is turned off and then back on.

Error Code 51.1 says Printer Error No Kidding.lol
ANSWER : Sometimes turning off and on will allow you to print a few pages. The error is a beam detect error. The only real fix is to replace the laser scanner unit. Could be a loose connector on the scanner or DC controller from the scanner. That’s unlikely. You could try the only other free fix which is to open the scanner assy. and clean all the mirrors inside. The dust could obstruct the laser beam enough to cause the detect error.
