Fault 
Occurrence 
Cause
This error is detected when;
• The ink consumption amount reaches 100%.
• The ink cartridge is defective.
Note :
The slight amount of the ink is remaining in the 
I/C even if the Replace Ink Cartridge error is 
detected. This is to prevent the Print Head nozzle 
from the printing operation without firing the 
ink.
This error is detected when data from CSIC 
cannot be read normally or when data 
cannot be written to CSIC.
This error is detected when;
• An unsupported ink cartridge has been 
installed.
• An ink cartridge with a different 
destination has been installed.
This error is detected when the PE Sensor 
cannot properly detect the paper bottom 
edge during feeding of paper.
