A yellow LED on the control panel lights to indicate error conditions. When the yellow
LED lights, check the display for messages which will help you determine the status of
the printer and possible corrective action to take.
Cartridge errors
The printer automatically performs tests on the cartridges and uses the information to
improve image quality, monitor cartridge life, and update the user with system status.
Some tests are performed between prints and require no user input, while others require
user input.
The following table shows cartridge-related error messages.
Error Message
Unrecognized cartridge
Cartridge end of life attained.
Unrecognized ink type.
Corrective Action
Be sure the cartridge is the appropriate ENCAD
cartridge for your printer model. Your printer will
not work with cartridges from other models.
Remember, the printer is reading the value
programmed into the chip on the cartridge, it is not
actually detecting the cartridge type. Replace the
cartridge if necessary.
Replace cartridge. You can check cartridge status
by choosing Disp Cart Info from the Service menu.
End of cartridge life is indicated as 180ml.
Be sure the cartridge is the appropriate ENCAD
cartridge for your printer model. Your printer will
not work with cartridges from other models. Ink
type information is stored on the cartridge chip. If
you are using a new type of ink which has been
introduced since you purchased your printer, you
will need to upgrade the printer's firmware to
accommodate the new ink type. Check ENCAD's
