These display messages are helpful in determining the status of the printer and possible
corrective action when operation does not appear to be normal.
Error Messages
Error messages consist of the message “Internal ERROR: Shutdown” on line 2 of the
display. On line 4, a specific message will appear. If you cannot clear the error, record
the message and the sequence of events leading to the message so that you can describe
the problem to ENCAD technical support personnel.
If the “Servo shutdown” message displayed, cycle the printer's power to clear the error.
Cartridge Errors
The printer automatically performs tests on the cartridges and uses the information to
improve image quality, monitor cartridge life, and update the user with system status.
Some tests are performed between prints and require no user input, while others
require user input.
The following are cartridge-related error messages.

actually detecting the cartridge type. Replace the
cartridge if necessary.

accommodate the new ink type. Check ENCAD's
