Cleaning the Encoder Strip is a vital part of the printer’s maintenance and can clear a variety of system
errors:

carriage bumping into the side of the printer.
• 42:10 system error, related to failures starting and homing the carriage on the scan axis
• 29:01 and 29:02 system errors which cannot be cleared even after installing new Maintenance
Cartridges.
• There are occasions when an encoder Strip that needs cleaning can cause media loading issues as
the Carriage cannot correctly detect the position of the loading media.

procedure is normally performed by the customer. Instructions and materials are provided within the User
