3. Fatal Error Reference Information (Aside from Head Hot Error)
Fatal Error cause can be analyzed by referring to EEPROM Address and Error
Code shown below.
Table 3-2. [2Dh address: Sequence error]
Address Error Condition
00h No error
01h Memory free error
02h Board hot/cold error
03h DRAM error
04h Timer IC initialize error
Table 3-3. [2Eh address: DC motor error]
Address Error Condition
00h No error

When printer cannot detect Ink Out, a Head Hot Error is handled
as a Fatal Error and displayed. Because of this, the printer makes
every effort to automatically recover from Ink Out Error without
expecting that the existing Ink Cartridge had to have been
replaced.

3. Use Adjustment Program to execute Ink Charge.

3.1.1.6 Dot missing 2

When a specific single dot is missing only with color printing and cannot be recovered,
check whether or not the Stylus C80 Printer Driver is being used. With the Stylus C82,
59 nozzles are used for each color nozzle, so 1 dot will be missing if the Stylus C80
Printer Driver is used.
