What This Error Means

This error indicates a problem with the motor responsible for feeding paper from the roll. The printer cannot load or advance paper.

Common Causes
  • 1Faulty or worn-out roll motor (e.g., encoder failure, mechanical binding)
  • 2Damaged or disconnected roll motor cable (e.g., loose connector, pinched wire)
  • 3Obstruction in the paper path preventing roll rotation (e.g., paper jam, foreign object)
  • 4Malfunctioning paper axis encoder sensor (EAS) providing incorrect feedback to the formatter board
  • 5Defective formatter board failing to control or detect the roll motor's status
Symptoms to Watch For
  • Printer displays '41:10' error code on the front panel display
  • Paper roll does not rotate or advance when attempting to load or print
  • Grinding or unusual noises coming from the paper roll area during attempted paper movement
  • Printer repeatedly prompts to load paper despite a roll being present and correctly installed
  • Paper jams frequently occur immediately after attempting to load paper from the roll
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting Guide
  1. 1

    Turn off the printer and unplug it. 2. Remove any loaded paper. 3. Inspect the paper path for obstructions. 4. Plug in and restart the printer. If the motor is faulty, service is required.

Pro Tips from Experts

Check for paper scraps or debris around the roll spindle and feed mechanism. Sometimes, the clutch associated with the roll motor can fail before the motor itself. Ensure the paper roll is correctly loaded and not too heavy or stiff for the motor. **Part Numbers & Advanced Troubleshooting:** - Carriage PCA: C7769-60374 (24"), C7769-60065 (42") - Trailing Cable: C7769-60147 - Engine PCA: C7769-60384 - Formatter Board: C7769-60319 (check revision A/B) - Service Station: C7769-60374 **Diagnostic Procedures:** 1.
