Hi,
That message means that the part of the printer that moves the cartridges from side to side has a problem and can not move. Try turning off the printer and removing the ink carts and see if the carrier moves freely from side to side if it does then maybe its a sensor problem and if it does not move freely then maybe something is blocking in it.

SOURCE: carrier jam

Two solutions for you: 1)There seems to be a coating on the metal rod that the cartridges travel on. See it back there? With the power disconnected, wipe this rod with a kleenex and the problem seems to go away. It presents a drag on the cartridges and causes the problem. You might have to GENTLY forcibly slide the cartridge a bit to each side to finish cleaning the rod. ONLY DO THIS WITH THE POWER OFF!! 2) Or you can also turn off your printer, then slide the cartriges all the way to the left, and GENTLY wipe the encoding strip running right behind the cartrige carrier.(it will look like a translucent piece of plastic strip in most printers). Wipe it down with a soft cloth gently, then slide the cartriges all the way to the right, and repeat this process. When you are done, simply close the cover, power back up, and see if it will print a test page for you. ZT3000 "Beta tester of "0"s and "1's"

    I Got a dell printer and i don't know what to do and in the printer it says Clear Carrier Jam
    Turn the printer on.
    Lift the lid to expose the print-head mechanism.
    The "carrier" is that part of the mechanism that moves the print-head across its range.
    Something is physically blocking, or "jamming", that carrier.

    Print will not print has code in window and cannot
    this error means the encoder strip is out of position. The strip is the foil which runs parallel to ph direction (and gives the ph the position info).

    You have to open the printer and set it back into the ph carrier.Its a bit difficult

    How to clear carrier jam in Dell Photo All in One 944
    simply open up your printer and see if there is any residual paper that get stuck, in some case if you can find some small miniature piece of sensor it might cause a erratic sensing that there is a presence of paper while there isnt, try to clear this or clean.
    paper jamming indicator means there is some paper in the paper path, unless otherwise ou clear this up you cannnot print.
    after you may need to power down or restart your printer once again

    Ink cartridge carrier jam
    If possible, shut off the printer completely and manually move the ink carriage to where the cartridges can be swapped out. turn it back on and try again. try to see if some mechanism that holds the missing cartridge in place has swung down and is bumping into something, preventing the carriage from moving past a certain point.

    Error 1203 and carrier jam error
    Error 1203 on a Lexmark is an issue that occurs either when a cartridge is bad or the printer cartridge Slot is bad... I would suggest you to try cleaning the copper contacts of the both carts and cart slot in the printer and try again..

    If that doesn't work just call up their support number and check for replacement..

    Ink cartridge
    Not quite sure what you mean but if it is stuck under the housing then that would give the error. Could it be that the cartridge wasn't installed straight and this has caused it to become jammed?
