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.

Front Panel Failure

This error indicates a communication problem with the front panel display or its associated electronics. The printer may not respond to button presses or display garbled information.

System Error: Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Malfunction

This error indicates a problem with the printer's internal hard disk drive. The HDD is used for job storage, processing, and firmware functions.

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.

Ink Maintenance Cartridge Full/Missing

This error indicates that the ink maintenance cartridge (waste ink tank) is full or missing. The printer cannot operate until it is replaced or properly installed.

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.

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.

Ink System General Error

This is a general error indicating an unspecified problem within the ink delivery system. It suggests a component is not functioning as expected, preventing proper ink management.

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: 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: Internal Memory (RAM) Failure

This error indicates a problem with the printer's internal memory (RAM). The printer cannot process jobs or may fail to boot.

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: Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) Failure

This error indicates a problem with the printer's non-volatile memory, which stores critical settings and calibration data. The printer may lose settings or fail to boot.

Service Error: Watchdog Timer Reset

This error indicates that the printer's internal watchdog timer has reset the system due to an unrecoverable software or hardware fault. The printer has crashed.

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.

Carriage Error: Scan-Axis Motor Malfunction

This error indicates a problem with the motor that moves the print carriage back and forth. The carriage cannot move, preventing any printing.

Paper Handling Error: Take-up Reel Motor Malfunction

This error indicates a problem with the take-up reel motor, which winds printed paper onto a roll. The printer cannot collect printed output.

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.

Hardware Error: Vacuum Fan Malfunction

This error indicates a problem with the vacuum fan, which helps hold the media flat during printing. This can lead to print quality issues or paper jams.

Firmware Error: Printer Initialization Failure

This error indicates a problem during the printer's startup sequence, often related to firmware or internal communication. The printer cannot complete its boot process.

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.
