Carriage Assembly Failure

This error indicates a problem with the carriage assembly, which holds the printheads and moves across the paper. It suggests the carriage motor, encoder strip, or belt might be faulty, preventing proper movement.

Printhead Temperature Sensor Error

This error indicates a problem with the temperature sensor on one or more printheads. The printer cannot accurately monitor the printhead temperature, which is crucial for proper operation.

Service Error: Environmental Sensor Malfunction

This error indicates a problem with an internal environmental sensor (e.g., temperature, humidity). The printer may not be able to operate optimally or safely.

Connectivity Error: Network Card Malfunction

This error indicates a problem with the printer's network interface card (NIC). The printer cannot connect to the network.

Connectivity Error: USB Port Malfunction

This error indicates a problem with one of the printer's USB ports. Devices connected to this port may not be recognized.

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.

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.

Firmware Error: PostScript/Raster Processor Error

This error indicates a problem with the printer's internal processing of print jobs, specifically related to PostScript or raster data. It might be triggered by a complex print file.

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.
