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.

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: 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.

Front Panel Failure

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.

Ink System Error: Printhead Failure (General)

This error indicates a general failure of one or more printheads. The printer cannot communicate with or use the printheads, preventing printing.

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.

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: 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: 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.

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: Component Initialization Failure

This error indicates that a specific internal component failed to initialize during startup. The printer cannot function correctly.

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.

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.

Calibration Error: Scan Axis Calibration Failure

This error indicates a problem during the scan axis (carriage movement) calibration. The printer cannot accurately position the printheads.

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.

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.

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.
