6. If cartridge recovery is not possible then proceed to replace the cartridge (cartridge
may have an internal air leak which is causing the ink pressure integrity problem).

printer. The steps involved to clear the alarm without a power cycle are:
1 - cancel the print job at the host
2 - navigate to the keypad main menu and press RESET
3 - navigate to the alarm display by pressing ALARM
4 - press the MORE INFO key
5 - determine the offending cartridge

Example 2: <color> PEN ERROR – OVERCURRENT CARTRIDGE SHUTDOWN!
A cartridge OVERCURRENT error indicates the detection of an electrical short internal

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

RETRY=3
or values may change…
Internal error shutdown
Image Manager
VFIRE VALUE=5
RETRY=0
If newer firmware is loaded (i.e. >2.01) 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 and the carriage flex
or it could be that the cartridge ID is not correct or missing. You can verify this condition
