System Error: Carriage PCA Malfunction

This error indicates a problem with the carriage assembly's printed circuit board. This board controls the printheads and their communication with the main PCA.

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.

Printhead Not Calibrated

This error indicates that a newly installed printhead has not been calibrated, or a previous calibration failed. This can lead to print quality issues.

Ink System Error: Ink Supply Station Malfunction

This error indicates a problem with the ink supply station, which delivers ink from the cartridges to the printheads. The printer cannot supply ink.

Ink System Error: Ink Cartridge Failure

This error indicates a problem with one or more ink cartridges. The printer cannot detect or use the cartridge.

Ink System Leak Detected

This error indicates that the printer has detected an ink leak within the ink delivery system. This is a critical issue that can damage internal components.

Ink System Air Detection

This error indicates that the printer has detected air within the ink delivery system. Air in the ink lines can prevent proper ink flow and cause print quality issues.

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 Cartridge Type Mismatch

This error indicates that an incorrect type of ink cartridge has been installed in the printer. The printer requires specific HP ink cartridges for proper operation.

Ink Cartridge Low/Empty

This error indicates that one or more ink cartridges are low on ink or empty. The printer will prompt you to replace them to continue printing.

Ink System Initialization Failure

This error indicates that the printer failed to properly initialize its ink delivery system during startup. This prevents the printer from becoming ready to print.

Ink Cartridge Authentication Failure

This error indicates that an ink cartridge cannot be authenticated by the printer. This can be due to a non-HP cartridge, a faulty cartridge chip, or an authentication system issue.

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: 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.

System Error: Overheating Detected

This error indicates that the printer has detected an internal temperature exceeding safe operating limits. This can cause damage if not addressed.

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: 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: 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.
