Cause
Printer error has occurred.
What to Do
If you are printing, press the printer's Stop button to cancel printing, then turn off the printer.
Check the following:
-
Make sure print head holder motion is not impeded by protective material and tape for securing the print head holder, jammed paper, etc.
Remove any impediment.
When clearing an impediment to print head holder motion, be careful not to touch clear film (A), white belt (B), or tubes (C).
If you soil or scratch this part by touching it with paper or your hand, it could damage the printer.
Turn the printer back on.
If this doesn't solve the problem, the printer will require servicing.
