Warning Messages
Description
The printer has detected
defective printhead
elements.
The printer measured
only a small difference
between the "empty" and
"gap" sensor readings.
Power has been removed
and shutdown is in
progress.
The scheduled printhead
cleaning distance has
been reached.
The host has pending
configuration changes
that require a "host reset
command."
Action(s)
Replace the printhead if the print
quality becomes unacceptable.
Transparent backing or notched
media typically gives this
indication, and a slight delay may
occur for the "Out of Stock"
indication; no action is required.
The power switch was turned
OFF; a line fuse was blown; or,
the line voltage was lost.
Press and hold the TEST Key or
select CLEAN HEAD NOW; see
Section 5.6.1.
To save the changes send a host
reset command (in DPL), or
discard changes by performing a
soft reset; see Section 5.3.1.
