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

This error indicates that a firmware update to the Main PCA has failed or is corrupted. The printer may not be able to boot or function correctly.

Paper-Axis Motor Failure

This error indicates a problem with the paper-axis motor, which controls the movement of paper through the printer. It might be a motor failure, a paper jam, or a sensor issue.

Firmware Error: Printer Initialization Failure

This error indicates a problem during the printer's startup sequence, often related to firmware or internal communication. The printer cannot complete its boot process.

Firmware Error: Critical Firmware Error

This is a general critical firmware error indicating an unrecoverable problem with the printer's operating system. The printer cannot function.

Calibration Error: Paper Axis Motor Calibration Failure

This error indicates a problem during the paper axis calibration process. The printer cannot accurately control paper movement.

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

This error indicates a problem with the starwheel assembly motor, which raises and lowers the starwheels that help guide the media after printing. It might be jammed or faulty.
