MAINTENANCE REQ. 0100 Problem The Waste Ink Pads have absorbed 99% of their ink capacity. The printer can continue printing, but the "Maintenance Req. 0100" message appears instead of the "Ready" or "Printing" messages. Solution Replace the Waste Ink Pads along with the replaceable parts of the Mainenance Assembly as described in Maintenance Procedures on page 67. SERVICE REQ. 00000100 Problem The waste ink pads are completely full, causing a fatal error. The printer stops printing. Solution See the solution for Maintenance Req. 0100, above. SERVICE REQ. 00000101 Problem This error occurs when the CR Motor has reached 2.5 million passes, which indicates that the Ink Tubes should be replaced due to excessive wear and tear. Solution Replace the Ink Tubes as explained in Removing the Ink Tubes on page 92. SERVICE REQ. 00010000 Problem PF motor encoder check error When the PF motor turns, the printer checks the rotary encoder output signals to make sure the motor is turning at the correct speed and distance. If the encoder doesn't send the expected output data, an error occurs. Solution Make sure there is nothing blocking the PF Roller. If that does not solve the problem, check the PF motor encoder connection. If there still is a problem, try the following: Check and adjust the PF Belt tension Replace the PF motor Replace the Main Board SERVICE REQ. 00010001 Problem PF motor out of step The length of the pulse generated by the PF motor's internal encoder is too long or too short compared to the normal pulse.

3.2.2
Errors that require a service technician
This section describes the errors listed in
Table 3-1
on page 40 in detail.
MAINTENANCE REQ. 0100
Problem
The Waste Ink Pads have absorbed 99% of their ink capacity. The printer
can continue printing, but the “Maintenance Req. 0100” message appears
instead of the “Ready” or “Printing” messages.
Solution
Replace the Waste Ink Pads along with the replaceable parts of the
Mainenance Assembly as described in
Maintenance Procedures
on
page 67.
SERVICE REQ. 00000100
Problem
The waste ink pads are completely full, causing a fatal error. The printer
stops printing.
Solution
See the solution for Maintenance Req. 0100, above.
SERVICE REQ. 00000101
Problem
This error occurs when the CR Motor has reached 2.5 million passes,
which indicates that the Ink Tubes should be replaced due to excessive
wear and tear.
Solution
Replace the Ink Tubes as explained in
Removing the Ink Tubes
on
page 92.
SERVICE REQ. 00010000
Problem
PF motor encoder check error
When the PF motor turns, the printer checks the rotary encoder output
signals to make sure the motor is turning at the correct speed and
distance. If the encoder doesn’t send the expected output data, an error
occurs.
Solution
Make sure there is nothing blocking the PF Roller. If that does not solve the
problem, check the PF motor encoder connection. If there still is a problem,
try the following:
Check and adjust the PF Belt tension
Replace the PF motor
Replace the Main Board
SERVICE REQ. 00010001
Problem
PF motor out of step
The length of the pulse generated by the PF motor’s internal encoder is too
long or too short compared to the normal pulse.
Solution
See the solution for Service Request 00010000, above.
