Image Quality
• 123 indicates a media resource error. Load the proper media or other needed items (ink,
cleaning unit, etc.). This error can occur during warm-up if the drum is dirty. A resource
error detected during warm-up may require larger than the A4 or 8.5 x 11 inch media in
order to clean the drum. In this case, load A4 or 8.5 x 11 inch size media in tray 1 or 2 or
the resource error will return when the printer checks for available media.
• 124 indicates a test print creation error. Install the waste tray, close the doors, and reboot
to run PEST (Print Engine Self Test dC123). This error usually indicates insufficient mem
-
ory and should not occur normally, but if detected, may indicate a hardware fault. PEST
should indicate any IME issues preventing printing.
