Error Codes (19)
System Error: Power Supply Unit (PSU) Malfunction
This error indicates a problem with the printer's power supply unit. The printer is not receiving stable or correct power, preventing it from functioning.
System Error: Front Panel Malfunction
This error indicates a problem with the printer's front panel display or its connection. The printer may still function, but user interaction is limited.
Ink System Pressure Failure
This error indicates an issue with the ink system's pressure regulation. It could be due to a leak, a faulty pump, or a sensor problem, preventing proper ink delivery.
Printhead Voltage Error
This error indicates an issue with the voltage supplied to the printheads. Incorrect voltage can damage printheads or prevent them from firing properly.
Ink System Fan Failure
This error indicates a problem with a fan responsible for cooling components within the ink delivery system. Insufficient cooling can lead to overheating and damage.
Service Error: System Fan Malfunction
This error indicates a problem with a general system cooling fan. Overheating could occur, leading to performance issues or damage.
Service Error: Real-Time Clock (RTC) Failure
This error indicates a problem with the printer's internal real-time clock. This might affect logging or time-sensitive functions, but usually not printing.
Service Error: Power-On Self-Test (POST) Failure
This error indicates that the printer failed its initial power-on self-test. A critical component is not functioning, preventing the printer from booting.
Service Error: Component Initialization Failure
This error indicates that a specific internal component failed to initialize during startup. The printer cannot function correctly.
Ink System Error: Trailing Cable Malfunction
This error indicates a problem with the trailing cable that connects the carriage assembly to the main PCA. This cable transmits data and power to the printheads.
Ink System Error: Carriage Latch Sensor Malfunction
This error indicates that the printer cannot detect the correct state of the carriage latch, which secures the printheads. This can prevent printing.
Ink System Error: Printhead not detected or faulty
This error means the printer cannot detect one or more printheads, or a detected printhead is faulty. This prevents printing.
Hardware Error: Main PCA Firmware Update Failure
Error detected in the Window Position Sensor
Paper-Axis Motor Failure
Cannot access the line sensor EEPROM
Firmware Error: Printer Initialization Failure
Incorrect or unsupported file format (advisory)
Firmware Error: Critical Firmware Error
Generic firmware error
Calibration Error: Paper Axis Motor Calibration Failure
Paper servo shutdown, possible paper jam
Calibration Error: Scan Axis Calibration Failure
This error indicates a problem during the scan axis (carriage movement) calibration. The printer cannot accurately position the printheads.
Starwheel Motor Failure
Problem reading the scan-axis encoder
