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
Basic Troubleshooting Steps
