Printhead Failure (Specific Color)

This error indicates a specific printhead is failing or not communicating properly. The '0xXXXXXXX' portion of the code usually identifies the problematic color or printhead slot.

Ink Cartridge Low/Empty

This error indicates that one or more ink cartridges are low on ink or empty. The printer will prompt you to replace them to continue printing.

Service Error: Data Bus Error

This error indicates a problem with the internal data communication pathways (bus) between major components. This is a critical system failure.

Service Error: Internal Communication Timeout

This error indicates that the printer's components are failing to communicate with each other within expected timeframes. This can lead to system freezes or failures.

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.

Carriage Error: Service Station Malfunction

This error indicates a problem with the service station, which cleans and caps the printheads. The carriage cannot move freely or the service station is stuck.

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
