3.1.1.1 Remedies for Paper Out Error
This section provides check points and corresponding actions which are
necessary when the Paper Out Error problem has occurred because of
either of the following reasons:
Paper is set in the ASF hopper but not fed.
Paper is fed but not detected by the printer.
Be sure to follow the steps in the order described in the tables.
NOTE: If the finding for the question is Yes, take the action described in
the right column. If “No”, proceed to the next step.
No. Error Condition Possible Causes
3 NO I/C or Ink Out
Error
(Refer to Section
3.1.1.3.
)
1. The counter is not showing the actual remaining ink
level.
2. Ink cartridge sensor actuator is not acting properly.
3. The micro switch is not mounted correctly.
The connector (green) is disconnected.
4. The connector (green, 3-pin) on the small board
directly attached to the printhead surface side is
disconnected. Note the connector (green, 4-pin) is
irrelevant as it is for the encoder.
5. The micro switch is defective.
6. The value for the ink consumption counter in the
EEPROM is destroyed.
7. Ink cartridge replace command is generated because
