Printhead Life Expired

This error indicates that one or more printheads have reached the end of their estimated useful life. While they may still function, print quality is likely to degrade.

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 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 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 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.

Internal Heater Failure

This error indicates a problem with an internal heater element, such as a pre-heater or post-heater. These heaters are crucial for preparing media and drying ink.

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: 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: 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.

Paper Handling Error: Roll Motor Malfunction

This error indicates a problem with the motor responsible for feeding paper from the roll. The printer cannot load or advance paper.

Roll-to-Roll System Failure

This error indicates a problem with the optional roll-to-roll system (take-up reel). It prevents the printer from automatically collecting printed media.

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.
