1.4.6 Errors

Ink out
When the printer runs out most of the ink of any color, it warns of an ink
low condition and keeps printing. When the ink cartridge is completely
empty, the printer stops printing and generates Ink out error. In this
condition, the ink cartridge must be replaced with a new one. Note an ink
cartridge that is once taken out must not be used again. Reinstalling of ink
cartridges whose ink level is not full upsets the ink level detection and
may cause serious problems in the printheads.
Paper out
When the printer fails to load a sheet of paper, it goes into the Paper Out
error condition.
Paper jam
When the printer fails to eject a sheet of paper, it goes into the Paper Jam
error condition.
No ink cartridge
When the printer detects that an ink cartridge is missing, it goes into the
No Ink Cartridge error condition.
Maintenance request
When the total quantity of waste ink collected during cleanings and
flushing reaches the limit, printer indicates the Maintenance Request
error and stops printing. The absorber must be replaced by a service
person.
