Although a caution sheet is packaged 
together with the printer, the user may not 
notice it. 
Note: Even if the packing material 
remains, no parts are damaged.

Abnormal cartridge 
EEPROM data error 
(orange LED blinks 7 
times).   

The problem likely occurs when 
the cartridge lever is slowly 
(carefully) lowered at print head 
installation. 

When the cartridge lever is slowly lowered 
at print head insta llation, there is a timing 
mismatch in reading the print head 
EEPROM value, preventing the EEPROM 
value from being detected correctly. 
<Print head recognition mechanism> 
The print head installation is detected by 
the contact of terminals in the following 
procedure: 

1. The existence of print head is detected. 
2. The print head EEPROM value is 
checked. 

1. Power off the printer, 
and re-power it on. 
2. Remove the print 
head, and reinstall it. 

-LED blinks in orange 7 times 
(cartridge EEPROM data error) 
(As this occurs at printer 
installation, the user cannot 
recognize the error.) 
-Cannot print 

Paper not feeding when 
lots of paper/media is 
loaded. (PC101/PR101) 

The problem may occur when 
multiple pages of PC101L and 
PR101 (A4/LTR) are loaded. 

When the amount of paper curl is large 
and multiple pages are loaded, the 
loaded page limit level in the ASF creates 
friction at paper feeding. 

1. Decrease the number 
of pages loaded in the 
ASF. 
2. Correct the paper curl. 

-Paper out error 
-Paper cannot be fed 
-Cannot print 

Multi-feeding. 

When multiple pages of PR101 
(A4/LTR) are loaded (in the high 
temperature and high humidity 
environment). 

In the high temperature and high humidity 
environment, the frictional force between 
the PR101’s front and back sides 
becomes high, and sheets stick to each 
other, contributing to multi -feeding. 

Set the paper one by one 
in the ASF. 

-Multiple pages of paper are fed 
-Paper is delivered without 
printing 

Paper   
feedability 

Envelope not feeding. 

When many envelopes are 
loaded. 
<Supplement> 
The problem may occur with the 
DL envelope. 

The paper feed roller slips on the paper at 
paper feeding.   
Note: Depending on the paper lots. 

1. Decrease the number 
of envelopes loaded in 
the ASF. 
2. Straighten out the 
paper (with a pen). 

-Paper out error 
-Paper cannot be fed 
-Cannot print
