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.

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 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 System Prime Failure

This error indicates that the printer failed to prime the ink system, meaning it could not successfully draw ink from the cartridges to the printheads. This often points to air in the lines or a pump issue.

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 Priming Failure

This error occurs when the printer fails to successfully prime the ink system, meaning it cannot draw ink from the cartridges to the printheads. This prevents printing.

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.

Ink Cartridge Expired

This error indicates that one or more installed ink cartridges have passed their expiration date. While the printer may allow continued printing, print quality might be affected.

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 System De-priming Failure

This error occurs when the printer fails to successfully de-prime the ink system, which is a process to remove ink from the printheads or tubes, often before service or shipping. This can lead to ink leaks.

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: EEPROM Configuration Error

This error indicates a problem with the printer's non-volatile memory (EEPROM) where configuration data is stored. This can lead to incorrect settings or boot failures.

System Error: Internal Power Failure

This error indicates a general internal power failure within the printer, potentially affecting multiple components. The printer cannot power on or operate.

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.

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.

Connectivity Error: Wireless Module Malfunction

This error indicates a problem with the printer's wireless communication module. The printer cannot connect to a wireless network.

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: Motor Driver Failure

This error indicates a failure of a motor driver circuit, preventing one or more motors from operating. This is a critical hardware failure.

Service Error: Data Bus Error

This error indicates a problem with the internal data communication pathways (bus) between major components. This is a critical system failure.

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: 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.

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: Paper Jam

This error indicates that paper is jammed within the printer's paper path. The printer cannot continue printing until the jam is cleared.

Starwheel Motor Failure

This error indicates a problem with the starwheel assembly motor, which raises and lowers the starwheels that help guide the media after printing. It might be jammed or faulty.
