Carriage Error: Carriage System Failure

This is a general critical error indicating a failure within the entire carriage system. The carriage cannot move or operate correctly.

• 1Faulty carriage motor preventing movement along the scan axis.
• 2Damaged or worn carriage belt, leading to slippage or complete detachment.
• 3Encoder strip is dirty, scratched, or detached, causing the carriage to lose positional awareness.
• 4Obstruction in the carriage path (e.g., paper jam, foreign object) physically blocking movement.
• 5Defective trailing cable or main PCA, failing to transmit power or control signals to the carriage assembly.

• Printer displays error code 0x00C20002 on the front panel.
• Carriage remains stationary or attempts to move but makes grinding/stalling noises.
• Carriage moves erratically or only a short distance before stopping.
• Printer fails to initialize or complete the start-up sequence.
• Visible signs of damage to the encoder strip (e.g., tears, smudges) or carriage belt (e.g., fraying, looseness).
