7.For a more advanced analysis (i.e. for technicians) of the ‘MAX INK TEMP’ error please refer to pages
Example 2: <color> PEN ERROR – OVERCURRENT CARTRIDGE SHUTDOWN!
A cartridge OVERCURRENT error indicates the detection of an electrical short internal to the cartridge – the cartridge must be replaced. This error is often the result of not correcting a MAX INK TEMP. EXCEEDED error as described in Example 1 above.
All OVERCURRENT cartridge errors require replacement of the cartridge and recycling of the printer power. The steps involved to restart the printer and replace the cartridge are:
1 - cancel the print job at the host
2 - press the MORE INFO key on the keypad display to show which cartridge is defective
3 - turn the printer power OFF
4 - replace the defective cartridge
5 - turn the printer power ON
For the following error message (examples):
Internal error shutdown
Image Manager
VFIRE VALUE=1 (or 5)
RETRY=3 (or 0)
If newer firmware is loaded (i.e. >2.1.0) and the error message remains, then the carriage board is likely faulty. Replace carriage board to correct symptom.
Example 3: <color> Pen Error – Invalid Pen ID!
The message indicates that the ID of the cartridge itself is not correct or is not being read. This could be a contact problem between the cartridge ID chip contacts and the carriage flex or it could be that the cartridge ID is not the correct type (programming problem), misaligned or even missing completely from cartridge. You can verify this condition by going to the CART INFO screen (Utility Menu – Service Menu – Ink Status Menu – Cart Info) and you will see something similar to:
K:BLACK XXXmL
If you then press the F1 key on the display you should see:
604 K: BLACK QiD TSR: XXX
