This can occur during machine initialization but may occur during or after printing if the printer settings are not correct. This error indicates the Print Head Carriage is commanded to move and no movement occurs. The error is usually a mechanical restriction of the Print Head Carriage. |
This error is intended to indicate when the Print Head Carriage motion is restricted and is typically caused by an "electrical" problem. To recover from this error condition use the list of possible solutions below.
Verify that the Print Head Release lever is properly orientated by Releasing Print Head Carriage and inspecting for proper release lever motion and orientation. The Print Head Release Lever can be pivoted about the axis for proper orientation.
Verify that the Paper Option on the printer display is set for the "Paper Roll" setting.
Inspect the Print Head Carriage Linear Encoder Strip for contamination. Even the smallest amount of contamination will cause an improper reading of the encoder strip. Clean the Linear Encoder strip to remove any contamination.
Clean the Print Head Linear Encoder Strip Sensor to ensure no contamination is blocking the sensor.
Re-seat or change the Harness Encoder Cable
Re-seat or change the Harness Head "B" Cable on the Linear Encoder Board.
Change the Encoder Sensor Board
Change the front Sub Board
Change Harness 7, 8, 9
Change the Main Control Board |

This error indicates a table motion restriction or an improper table motion occurred. |
This error indicates a table/platen movement problem. The error is most commonly caused when the user presses the flashing green button "before" the printer is in the READY state OR has not been pressed at all before attempting to start a print job. This will result in a lockup of the printer control panel.
The Error Occurs during Start-Up
Cycle machine power
Press the power button in and release it to the "Off" position.
Remove the power cord from the back of the machine.
Install the power cord back in the machine.
Press the power button in on the control panel to turn the printer back on and allow the normal machine initialization to begin.
When the display reads READY press the flashing green button to allow machine initialization to complete.
Re-seat the PF Encoder Sensor
Turn off the machine power
Remove the machine power cord
Remove the rear machine cover
Remove the PF Encoder Cover
Unplug the PF Encoder cable from the Encoder Sensor
Plug the PF Encoder Cable back into the Encoder Sensor
Replace the covers
Install the power cord
Press the power button in on the control panel to turn the printer back on and allow the normal machine initialization to begin.
When the display reads READY press the flashing green button to allow machine initialization to complete.
Test machine Table Tray movement
The Error Occurs During or After Printing
Select the Paper Roll Icon without the scissors at the Epson display
Check the platen/table size in the MelcoRip software
Verify All printer settings are correct
Verify that the Table Tray does not actuate the front limit switch
Clean the Encoder Strip and Sensor
Clean the table/platen encoder
Check the guide rails and the guide rollers
Ensure that there is nothing obstructing the movement of the table on the rails
Change the Encoder Harness
Change the table/platen encoder harness

This error is intended to indicate a pump mechanism problem. |
Verify that the Print Head Carriage moves freely away from the parked position.
If the Print Head Carriage cannot move away from the parked position check for a Pump Problem and look for any damaged or dirty gears or wheels in the pump actuation area.
|
| 010033 |
This error occurs when a non-essential paper/cutter sensor is always "enabled" and no change in sensor state occurs when a change in sensor state is expected. |
Verify that the blue release lever for the print Head Carriage is in the normal position
Check if the Star Wheel is working correctly
Remove the right side cover and check the following
If there is any ink on the sub-board near the Maintenance Tank
If the cables for the bypassed Paper Eject Phase Sensor are damaged |
| 010031 |
This error occurs when a non-essential paper/cutter sensor is always "disabled" and no change in sensor state occurs when a change in state is expected. |
Remove the right side cover and check if the cables for the bypassed ASF Phase Sensor is short circuited.
Check the sub-board near the maintenance tank to damaged or disconnected wiring.
Check the sub-board to verify there are no broken components
|
| 010030 |
This error occurs when the Multi Sensor on the Print Head Carriage is not functioning normally. |
Clean the Muliti-Sensor with isopropyl alcohol and a cleaning applicator
Check the wiring of the sensor to ensure it is seated correctly
Change the sensor |
