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 carriage motion is not impeded by protective material and tape for securing the carriage, jammed paper, etc.
Remove any impediment.
Do not touch the linear scale (A) or carriage rail (B). This may stain your hands and damage the printer.

Turn the printer back on.
If this does not solve the problem, the printer requires servicing.
