sorry, i don`t actually know but i think you should just use genuine catridges

E2: Reload the paper correctly and press [Black] or [Color].

E7: The cartridges are not installed in place.

These are from the manual.

Error 5100 is Carriage error.Possible problems in:
- Carriage unit
- Timing **** strip film
- Logic board assembly
- Carriage motor
First, make sure there is no paper jam anywhere in the machine.. look inside, rear, where the paper tray (output) is, etc to see if you find any shreds or torn paper that may have gotten stuck and you didn't see.Look carefully in the zone of Purge unit, using flashlight in the right side on printer.If this not help your printer need service.

I had this problem with the ink carriage jammed at the left hand side of the printer. I operated the lever in a hole on the top left hand side and eased the carriage along to the middle and pushed it back onto it's runners. All OK now.

goddman it same issue here - brand new, not working, drives me nuts - anyone solved this yet?
