What to Do

A print head may not be installed properly or may not be compatible with this printer.

If you are printing, press the printer's Stop button to cancel printing.

Remove the print heads and reinstall them properly following the steps below. This may resolve the error.

   • Do not touch the tube or other parts inside the printer. Touching these parts may cause the printer to malfunction.

   • Do not touch the gold terminal (C) or print head nozzles (D) on a print head. The printer may not print properly if you touch them.
