Description: Waste Ink pads must be replaced
The waste ink pads are completely full, causing a fatal error. The printer stops printing.
Remedy: Replace the following parts and reset the counters as described below • Waste Ink Pads • F Box • Pump Assembly • Cap Assembly • Cleaner, Head • From Maintenance Mode 2 enter the Counter Init. Menu and initialize the Waste Ink counter and Cleaning counter.
Code: 00000101
Description: Ink Tube worn out
A printer part has exceeded its useful life, and to prevent damage to other parts as well as abnormal operations/printouts, an error occurs. This error occurs when the CR Motor has reached 2.5 million passes, and this indicates the ink tubes should be replaced due to excessive wear and tear.
Remedy: To make sure the ink tubes are not worn out, verify no part of any of the tubes shows wear, is loose, or leaks ink anywhere, especially the tube area between the printheads and the ink pipes.

Description: PF motor encoder check error
The PF motor makes small revolutions clockwise and counterclockwise. When it turns, the printer checks the rotary encoder (inside the motor) output signals to make sure the motor is turning at the correct speed/distance. If the encoder sends an incorrect signal, an error occurs.
Remedy: Make sure there is nothing blocking the grid rollers. If that does not solve the problem, check the PF motor encoder connection. If there still is a problem, try the following. • Check and adjust the PF Belt tension • Replace the PF motor • Replace the Main Board
Code: 00010001
Description: PF motor out of step
PF motor out of step - the length of the PF motor internal encoder’s pulse is too long or too short compared to the regular pulse.
Remedy: Make sure there is nothing blocking the grid rollers. If that does not solve the problem, check the PF motor encoder connection. If there still is a problem, try the following. • Check and adjust the PF Belt tension • Replace the PF motor • Replace the Main Board
Code: 00010002
Description: PF motor overcurrent
Feedback from the PF motor (IC35) driver’s 10- pin output (sensor signal) indicates that the PF motor’s current is irregular.
Remedy: • Replace the PF motor • Replace the Main Board
Code: 00010003
Description: PF in-position time-out
The in-position time is the amount of time the printer waits to make sure the carriage is not moving when the carriage comes to a stop. The rotary encoder is activate for the predetermined “in-position time” and if the encoder sends a pulse, this means the carriage is moving even though it is supposed to be at a full stop, this generates an error.
Remedy: • Replace the PF motor • Replace the Main Board
