Note : The CR motor is DC motor. Since the resistance of the DC motor varies among the
electric poles, resistance value cannot be used to check the DC motor. When a
malfunction of the CR motor is suspected, check the motor if it moves normally or not.
However, it is difficult to judge accurately, if it is not clear, replace the motor.

Causes
This section describes the LED indications, STM3 messages and fault occurrence
causes at occurrence of the following errors during any sequence/operation (e.g.
power-on sequence, paper feeding/loading sequence, ink sucking sequence).
NOTE: The STM3 windows shown in the table in the following pages are the
ones of Stylus CX4300/CX4400/CX5500/CX5600/DX4400/DX4450,
however, other models show almost the same displays as those except the
