This error indicates a problem with the front panel assembly, which includes the display and control buttons. It might be a communication issue or a hardware failure.

Memory Error

This error indicates a problem with the printer's internal memory (RAM). This can prevent the printer from booting up or processing print jobs correctly.

Printhead Blocked/Clogged

This error indicates that one or more printheads are severely clogged or blocked, preventing ink from being ejected properly. This leads to missing colors or poor print quality.

Ink Cartridge Low/Empty
