System Error: Main PCA Malfunction

This error indicates a problem with the printer's main board (PCA - Printed Circuit Assembly). It's a critical hardware failure that prevents the printer from operating.

Printhead Missing/Not Installed

This error indicates that a printhead is either missing from its slot or was not properly installed. The printer cannot detect the presence of a printhead.

Printhead Failure (Specific Color)

This error indicates a specific printhead is failing or not communicating properly. The '0xXXXXXXX' portion of the code usually identifies the problematic color or printhead slot.

Ink System Error: Ink Level Sensor Malfunction

This error indicates a problem with the ink level sensor for one or more cartridges. The printer cannot accurately determine ink levels.

Ink Cartridge Not Detected (Specific Color)

This error indicates that a specific ink cartridge is not detected or is not properly installed. The '0xXXXXXXX' portion of the code identifies the problematic color or slot.

Ink System Motor Failure

This error indicates a problem with a motor within the ink delivery system, such as an ink pump motor. This prevents proper ink flow and system operation.

Calibration System Failure

This error indicates a problem with the printer's internal calibration system. This can prevent accurate printhead alignment, color calibration, or media advance calibration.

Carriage Error: Carriage System Failure

This is a general critical error indicating a failure within the entire carriage system. The carriage cannot move or operate correctly.

Service Error: Internal Communication Error

This error indicates a general problem with internal communication between the printer's components. This prevents the printer from functioning.

Service Error: Firmware Corruption (Unspecified)

This error indicates a general corruption of the printer's firmware. The printer cannot boot or operate correctly.

Service Error: Internal Sensor Failure (Unspecified)

This error indicates a problem with an unspecified internal sensor. The printer may not be able to perform certain functions accurately.

Service Error: Critical System Resource Exhaustion

This error indicates that the printer has run out of critical system resources (e.g., memory, processing power) to perform its tasks. This can lead to crashes.

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.
