Hello,
make sure you removed the orange tape from the cartridge.
usualy E5 is when the color cartridge is faulty but if the orange tape is on the cartridge it will show E5.
if you removed the orange tape an it still shows E5 go with the cartridge to the store where you purcess it for excange.

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