What to do
Some protective tape or protective materials may have been left inside the
printer. Remove all the protective tape and protective materials, and then turn
the power on again.
Nozzles may be clogged because the print head unit was stopped for a long
period outside the specified position. We recommend doing a nozzle check to
check for clogged nozzles, and then to clean the heads if necessary.

The print head's auto nozzle check function detected clogged nozzles.
Check the print results and clean the print head if needed, and then start
printing again.
