2. LIST OF ERROR DISPLAY / INDICATION Errors are indicated by the LED, and warnings are displayed on the monitor of the computer connected to the printer. 2-1. Operator Call Errors (by Alarm LED Blinking in Orange) Alarm LED blinking in orange Error [Error code] Solution Remarks 2 times No paper. (ASF) [1000] Set the paper in the ASF, and press the Resume/Cancel button. 3 times Paper jam. [1300] Remove the jammed paper, and press the Resume/Cancel button. Error in paper feeding from the ASF. Paper output support error. [1300] Remove any obstacles, if any, from the paper output support, and press the Resume/Cancel button. The first time the phenomenon occurs, it is indicated as the paper output support error. The second time and thereafter (such as when the phenomenon persists even after the Resume/Cancel button is pressed), it is indicated as the PS cam sensor error (service call error). 4 times No ink. [1600] Replace the empty ink tank(s), or press the Resume/Cancel button. Pressing the Resume/Cancel button will exit the error without ink tank replacement, however, ink may run out during printing. Ink tank not installed. [1660] Install the applicable ink tank(s) properly, and confirm that the LED's of all the ink tanks light red. 5 times The print head is not installed [1401], or it is not properly installed (Print head temperature sensor error [1403] / Faulty EEPROM data of the print head [1405]). Install the print head properly. 7 times Multiple ink tanks of the same color installed. [1681] Replace the wrong ink tank(s) with the correct one(s). Ink tank in a wrong position. [1680] Install the ink tank(s) in the correct position. 8 times Warning: The waste ink absorber becomes almost full. [1700] Pressing the Resume/Cancel button will exit the error, and enable printing. The service call error, indicating the waste ink absorber is full, is likely to occur soon. 9 times The connected digital camera or digital video camera does not support Camera Direct Printing. [2001] Remove the cable between the camera and the printer. 11 times Failed in automatic print head alignment. [2500] Press the Resume/Cancel button. - If paper is being fed at error occurrence, the error is indicated after the paper is ejected. - If the error occurs, the print head alignment values are not changed. - After exit from the error by the Resume/Cancel button, the automatic print head alignment will not be re-done. The error is indicated when the pattern is not printed due to no ink or non-ejection of ink, or when the sensor's AD value is incorrect. 13 times The remaining ink amount unknown. [1683] An ink tank which has once been empty is installed. Replace the applicable ink tank with a new one. Printing with a once-empty or refilled ink tank can damage the print head. To continue printing without replacing the ink tank, press the Resume/Cancel button for 5 sec. or longer to record the use of a refilled ink tank. Note: After the above operation, the function to detect the remaining ink amount is disabled. 14 times Ink tank not recognized. [1684] A non-supported ink tank is installed (the ink tank LED is turned off). Install the supported ink tanks. 1-4
