- foam pieces
- Follow the steps in the Setup Guide to insure that you have properly installed the printhead and ink cartridges.
- Close the printer access door.
- Press OK to clear the error.
- Make a print.
OR
Check the printhead carriage area:
Debris and Obstructions:
-
Remove any paper, tape or other obstructions from the printhead carriage area.
- Gently move the printhead carriage from side to side to see that it moves freely and there are no obstructions.
