7.13 Error Codes and Messages - Background Details
Below is a more detailed explanation of some of the error codes and messages the printer may report.
ERROR CODE
Error 40800
Explanation: 1000ml is the expected life of a print head that uses
clear binder; 500ml is expected life for a color or black print head.
Error 1004
In the rare instances where they do not, the reasons are varied.
Error 1010
Some print heads may fail if the printer does not run a build on a
regular basis. They may also prematurely fail if the printer is
Error 1009
turned off for long periods. Color print heads will also be affected
Error 1003
by the printer sitting too long without running.
Error 1008
Solution: We recommend leaving your printer turned on when not
in use. Doing this will allow the printer to automatically maintain
the print heads with a routine it runs between builds. Also, when
changing a print head, be sure to clean the pogo pins at the same
time. Failure to clean the pogo pins may result in poor contact to
the print head, causing the system to report an error and prevent-
ing operation of the printer.
Error 1006
Explanation: This error is most likely caused by a print head
reaching the end of its life. As a print head ages, it overheats and
eventually reports this error. It could also be a failed connection
between the printer and the print head.
Solution: This error is most often avoided by following best prac-
tices for keeping the printer clear of excess Core and to clean the
pogo contacts every time a print head is changed. Even if only one
print head is replaced, it is good practice to clean the contacts for
all 5 print heads every time a print head is replaced.
The ProJet x60Pro will prompt you when a print head has reached
its maximum life and requires changing. Change the print head
according to the instructions in this manual. When a print head is
changed, the ProJet x60Pro will run an automatic purge cycle for
the binder cartridge only. Once the purge cycle is complete, the
printer runs the auto-alignment pattern to align the clear and color
print heads.
