Power Supply Unit (PSU) Failure

This error indicates a problem with the printer's power supply unit. The PSU is responsible for converting wall power into the various voltages needed by the printer's components.

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.

Take-Up Reel System Failure

This error indicates a problem with the optional take-up reel system, which collects printed output. It may be jammed, disconnected, or malfunctioning.

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.

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.

Hardware Error: Main PCA Fan Malfunction

This error indicates a problem with the cooling fan on the Main PCA. Overheating could occur, leading to performance issues or damage.

Paper Handling Error: Paper Jam

This error indicates that paper is jammed within the printer's paper path. The printer cannot continue printing until the jam is cleared.

Paper Handling Error: Media Sensor Malfunction

This error indicates a problem with a paper sensor. The printer cannot detect paper presence or position, leading to loading or feeding issues.
