Hi

This is a purge unit error hence you need to check and make sure the purge unit is working fine. If not you need to clean it.

THE PURGE UNIT IS THE ONE ON THE RIGHT SIDE WHERE THE CARTREIDGE RESTS WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE PRINTER.

And at the same keep the below mentioned error list for your future use.

this error does not exist, perhaps "E22" means "Carriage error" or "E25" means "ASF(cam) sensor error"

i have error code 5010 showing?

This is a carriage error and can be caused by something blocking the free movement of the carriage assembly.

Check that no paper is stuck or something is not blocking the carriage movement and all ink carts are securely positioned.
