KODAK 1200i WIDE-FORMAT PRINTING SYSTEM
Technical Training Guide 46
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). This is assuming
you have printed and the error has occurred. TSR (Target Sensing Resistor) values are
typically between 450 and 540; displayed message should also indicate ‘TSR FOUND
+’. For TSR errors try reseating the cartridge or replace the cartridge. If one or all TSR
cartridge levels are at error condition (out of range) then load firmware version 2.1.0 (or
higher) to help correct. This will place the identified cartridge (s) in open loop mode and
may affect specific color output slightly however. For persistent TSR errors check
connectivity between flex driver cable to carriage PWA and/or replace the cartridge.
NOTE: the OEM field is read from the ID chip. 1 = Kodak 1200i, 4 = POS, 5 =
special, 6 = Xerox 8142/8160. The MB (i.e. MB:01) version under the ABOUT
menu should ‘always’ match the cartridges and bottles.
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. Also, prior to
firmware version 2.0.7 there is no automatic APC correction above the 8 print-pass mode
(i.e. for 12 and 16 pass). It is suggested to load firmware 2.1.0 or higher for this condition.
This is typically a cartridge failure. Items 1- 7 below can be verified prior to cartridge
replacement to help isolate problem. If problem does not clear following cartridge
replacement perform items d. through f. below:
1. Thoroughly clean flex driver cable surfaces, rear electrical surfaces of
cartridge and jet plate.
