3.2.2 General Errors
This section describes the errors that can be solved by the user.
INK LOW

Problem
An ink end sensor has detected that the corresponding ink cartridge is
almost empty (ever ink cartridge has an ink level gauge). It is possible to
print about 100% duty on B1 size paper with the remaining ink, but the
cartridge should be replaced as soon as possible.
If you re-install an ink cartridge that was detected as being in a “Near End”
state, the status will immediately go to “Ink Out”. Only install new
cartridges.
 Solution
Replace the ink cartridge.
PAPER OUT

Problem
 Paper is not loaded.
 The rear edge of roll paper has been detected.
 The print job using cut sheets is finished or the rear edge of cut-sheet
paper has been detected.
 Solution
 If paper has run out, remove the printer paper and load new paper. If
print data remains in the printer, the data will be printed.
 If this error occurs even though paper is properly loaded, there may be
something on the P-Rear sensor’s surface. Clean the sensor’s surface
(hole in the Paper Guide, Upper) with a clean, dry cloth.
LOAD XXX PAPER

Problem
The selected paper source (according to the remote PP command) and the
paper type selected on the control panel do not match.
 Solution
Load the correct paper or change the panel setting to match the type of
paper loaded in the printer.
LOAD PAPER

Problem
While paper is loaded, the Paper Release lever was pushed up to the
Release position.
 Solution
 Make sure paper is loaded properly and push down the Release lever
to lock the paper in place.
 If this error occurs even when the lever is down, in the Lock position,
there may be a problem with the Paper Release lever sensor. Check
the sensor operation, sensor connection, and board.

cartridge, you need to reset the ink counter using the
control panel and Maintenance Mode 2.
CAUTION
Use a clean, dry cloth when cleaning sensors; never
use a wet cloth or soap.
