EPSON Stylus Color 900 Revision C
Product Description Error Status 36
1.5 Error Status
When any of the following status occurs, the printer goes in the error
status and stops receiving data, setting the /ERROR signal in the
interface to “Low”, and Busy signal to “High”. During this condition, the
printer is in non-printable status. Refer to Section 1.4.3 for detailed LED
Panel indicator status and corresponding error types.
1.5.1 Ink Out
When the printer has run out the most of the ink of any color, it warns of
Ink Low condition and keeps printing. When the printer runs out the
whole ink of any color, it stops printing and indicates the Ink Out error.
User is required to install a new ink-cartridge in this state. Note if an ink-
cartridge has been taken out, it should never be used again.
Reinstalling the used cartridge (not fully filled with ink) upsets the ink
level detection and may cause a serious problem in the printhead as a
result.
1.5.2 Paper Out
When the printer fails to load a sheet, it goes into the Paper Out error
condition.
1.5.3 Paper Jam
When the printer fails to eject a sheet, it goes into the Paper Jam error
condition.
1.5.4 No Ink Cartridge
When the printer detects that the ink cartridge has come off, it goes into
the No ink cartridge error.
1.5.5 Maintenance Request
When the total quantity of ink wasted through the cleanings and flushing
has reached the limit, printer indicates this error and stops printing. The
absorber in the printer needs to be replaced with a new one by a service
person.
1.5.6 Fatal Errors
When the printer detects the carriage control error or CG access error, it
enters the fatal error condition.
CAUTION
Never use an ink cartridge that has been removed.
