Chapter 5 What to Do If
This describes the error messages that may appear on
the machine's display, and how to take action to remedy
the problem. If the action described here does not cor-
rect the problem, or if an error message not described
here appear, contact your authorized Roland DG Corp.
dealer.
[AVOIDING DRY-UP TURN POWER OFF]
The print heads were forced to standby position to
prevent them from drying out.
Operation cannot be continued. Switch the sub power off,
then back on. Opening the front cover while printing is in
progress causes an emergency stop. Never allow the print
heads to stand in this state.
[CANCELED FOR WIPER PROTECTION]
Operation stopped because the maintenance liquid
has run out completely.
Press clears the error message, but printing cannot
be executed. Execute the printer's [MAINTE. LIQUID] menu
item and replace the maintenance liquid cartridge with a
new one. If the machine is allowed to stand with the error
uncorrected, the print heads may dry out and become dam-
aged.

[CHECK THE FEED UNIT]
The feed system stopped without feeding out any
media.
If media has run out, stop printing and load new media.
[DATA ERROR CANCELING...]
Output was stopped because a problem was found
in the data received.
Operation cannot be continued. Check for problems with
the connector cable or the computer, then redo the opera-
tion, starting with reloading the media.
[FEED UNIT LOCKED]
Printing stopped automatically because the feed sys-
tem stopped.
Press to clear the error message. Eliminate the cause
that made the feed system stop, then carry out the next print-
ing operation.
[HEATING TIMEOUT CONTINUE?]
The preheater or print heater did not reach the pre-
set temperature.
This occurs because the temperature of the location where
the machine is installed is too low. We recommend raising
the temperature. To quit printing, hold down
for one
second or longer. To continue waiting for the temperature
to rise, press
. To start printing immediately,
press
.
[MOTOR ERROR CAP PRINT HEADS]
A motor error occurred.
Eliminate the cause of the error, then press . The
heads move to the standby position. After the heads have
moved, switch off the sub power. If the machine is allowed
to stand with the error uncorrected, the print heads may
dry out and become damaged.
This error may be caused by such factors as a mistake in
loading the media, a media jam, or an operation that pulls
the media with excessive force.
The media is loaded incorrectly.
Check how the media is threaded through the rollers. Also
make sure the AUTO switches for the feed and take-up units
are set correctly.
The media has jammed.
Carefully remove the jammed media. The print heads may
also be damaged. Perform head cleaning, then perform a
printing test and check the results.
The media was pulled with excessive force.
Excessive tension was applied to the media, and additional
action is necessary to recover from this state. First, move
the loading lever to the rear and open the cover for the feed
and take-up units. Adjust the media to create a small amount
of slack, then switch on the sub power.
[MOTOR ERROR TURN POWER OFF]
A motor error occurred.
Operation cannot be continued. Switch off the sub power.
Next, eliminate the cause of the error, then immediately
switch on the sub power. If the machine is allowed to stand
with the error uncorrected, the print heads may dry out and
become damaged.
This error may be caused by such factors as a mistake in
loading the media, a media jam, or an operation that pulls
the media with excessive force.
The media is loaded incorrectly.
Check how the media is threaded through the rollers. Also
make sure the AUTO switches for the feed and take-up units
are set correctly.
