Carriage away from home position too long
Carriage away from home position too long
Attention: When the carriage stays away from its home position too long, the
printheads become dry. When the printheads are dry, you must replace the
printheads.
Carriage away from home position too long
Always replace the printheads or the maintenance cassette in one continuous action
to prevent the drying of the printhead nozzles.
If you replace a printhead or the maintenance cassette, the carriage moves to the
center. If the carriage is in the centre too long, the system produces an error signal.
The red LEDs on the printer operator panel remain illuminated. The printer operator
panel also displays a message. Press the key for 'OK' to acknowledge the error
message.
