4.3  SERVICE CALL ERRORS 
4.3.1  SUMMARY OF ERROR LEVELS 
Level Definition  Typical Errors 
A 
The printer is damaged or disabled, and the 
printer cannot operate. Even after removing 
the cause of the problem, turning the printer 
off and on does not solve the problem. The 
operator cannot solve the problem and must 
call for service. 
SC Error Code. 
This is a Service Call Error. 
B 
An abnormal condition exists in the printer, 
and the printer cannot operate until the 
problem is corrected. Once the operator 
removes the cause of the problem, turning 
the printer off and on should restore the 
printer to normal operation. 
•  Cover open. 
•  Paper jams. 
•  Print cartridge out. 
•  Print cartridge missing. 
•  Print cartridge installed incorrectly. 
•  Paper size error. 
C 
The printer can continue to print, but if the 
problem is not corrected soon the printer will 
no longer be able to operate. The operator 
must correct the problem as soon as 
possible. 
•  Ink near end. 
•  Waste tank near full. 
 
4.3.2 OUT-OF-RANGE TEMPERATURE ERRORS 
  Printer Status at Error  Status After Error 
Power ON 
Power to the printer turns on, 
and printer enters and remains 
in standby mode. 
As soon as the temperature of the 
print heads reaches the operational 
temperature range, the printer enters 
the “Ready” mode. 
During Printing 
Printer halts printing and enters 
the standby mode.  
The printer remains in the “Standby” 
mode. The operator must switch the 
printer off and on again to restore 
normal operation. 
Important: The printer firmware shows an error to tell the operator that the 
temperature of the print heads are not within the operational range. The operational 
temperature is out of range (either too high or too low). The printer cannot operate 
in this condition. The print quality would not be consistent if the printer allows a 
print to occur before the print heads reached the operational temperature. 
Do these if this error occurs frequently: 
•  Make sure that the room temperature is within the accepted standard 10°C to 
32°C (50°F to 89.6°F) with Rh 15% to 80%. For more, see Section “1. 
Installation” of this Service Manual. 
•  Let 1 hour pass for the printer to adjust to room temperature before you use the 
printer if the printer was moved to a new location. This is important if you move 
the printer from a cold location into a warm room.
