Introduction
System error codes are generally used to report internal system errors. The following pages contain a list of
system error codes with their descriptions and recommended corrective actions. Try only one recommended
action at a time, in the order in which they appear in this manual, and restart the printer after each action. If
the error code no longer appears, there is no need for any more corrective actions.
Errors of two kinds
Some system errors are continuable or advisory, which means that you can press OK on the front panel and
continue using the printer.
Other system errors are non-continuable, which means that you cannot continue using the printer. In this
case, turn the printer off and on again. If the error code reappears, then the printer requires an on-site visit in
order to resolve the problem.

If you have an error code that you cannot resolve, then report the error to HP Support. When reporting the
error, have the following information ready.
