by going to the CART INFO screen (Utility Menu – Service Menu – Ink Status Menu –
Cart Info) and you will see something like:
K: BLACK
XXXmL
If you then press the F1 key on the display you should see:
604 K: BLACK QiD TSR: XXX
MFGl X-X-XXX
OEM: 1 ID: 6
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
TSR FOUND +
ID:0 is typically an indication that the cartridge ID is wrong. This field will equal 6 (will be
0 until you have printed at least 0.10mL of ink through the cartridge). We are assuming
you have printed and the error has occurred. TSR (Target Sensing Resistor) values are
typically between 460 and 520; displayed message should also indicate ‘TSR FOUND
+’. Try reseating the cartridge or replace the cartridge. If TSR levels are out of range
then check connectivity/flex driver cable. Also, the OEM: field is read from the ID chip. 1
= Kodak 1200i, 4 = POS, 5 = special, 6 = Xerox 8142/8160.
The alarm message will be cleared when you send a new print job or power cycle the
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 problem cartridge
6 - access carriage and replace the problem cartridge
7 - access carriage back to home position
8 - send a new print job to clear the alarm (a prime printing test or calibration plot will
clear the alarm)
APC UNAVAILABLE, ABORT JOB?
APC stands for Auto Pass Correction. There are three possible selections from the
menu for PASS CORRECTION: AUTO, PAUSE, and OFF. Default is AUTO.
If you receive this error with APC set to AUTO this indicates that the printer is not able to
compensate in any print mode. Your only option is to abort the current print job or
continue. You can abort the job, try reseating the cartridge, print a PRIME pattern to help
you understand the extent of the electrically defective jets. The prime pattern will print a
message at the end of the pattern indicating which modes can be compensated, if any.
If you receive this error with APC set to PAUSE this indicates that the printer is able to
compensate at a higher pass mode but is needing your input to proceed.
NOTE:
APC errors will not be receive if PASS CORRECTION is set to OFF.
