1.4.6 Errors

o Ink Out
When the printer runs out most of the ink of any color, it indicates ink-low and
keeps printing. When the printer runs out the whole ink of any color, it stops
printing and indicates ink-out error. User is then requested to install a new ink-
cartridge in this state. An ink-cartridge that has been taken out once should never
be used again. Re-installation of the cartridge not filled fully upsets the ink level
detection and may eventually cause a serious problem in the print head.
o Paper Out
When the printer fails to load a sheet, it goes into a paper out error.
o Paper Jam
When the printer fails to eject a sheet, it goes into a paper jam error.
o No Ink-Cartridge
When the printer detects that ink-cartridge comes off, or failed to read or write
CSIC data, it goes into this error mode.
o Maintenance Request
When the total amount of ink wasted through cleanings and flushing reaches to the
limit, printer indicates this error and stops. In such a case, the absorber in the
printer enclosure needs to be replaced with new one by service personnel.
o Fatal Errors
Carriage control error.
