Supplies Memory Error 10.XX.YY Exact format is dependent on printer model.
|
The printer is unable to read the electronic information (e-label) on the print cartridge.
XX Description 00 memory error on the cartridge or 01 memory device not found
YY Description 00 black print cartridge
1. Supplies used in newer printer models contain a memory chip. This information contained on this chip is dependent on the printer model and the supply. The error 10 indicates a problem with the printer obtaining the information from this chip. The chip may be missing or defective or contain incorrect information. Turn the printer off/on to attempt to clear or reset the message. Remove and reinstall the supply, replace the supply.
2. Replace the memory chip cable/connector or the DC controller.

2. Replace any defective sensors or flags.
3. Ensure the media does not exceed the maximum length.
4. If multiple sheets are feeding, it might be necessary to fan the media and reduce the stack height. Also, replace separation pad.
5. Verify that the fuser is properly installed.
|
|
13.5 PAPER JAM CHECK REAR DOOR
|
Paper-delay jam at fuser.
