Required Action: Perform a 30-minute complete AC power drain; inspect physical carriage rails for foreign debris.
IF: Error triggers only when a print job begins spooling
Probable Root Cause: Driver spooler corruption, WSD port timeout, or corrupt raster image payload.
Required Action: Switch Windows printer port from WSD to Standard TCP/IP; clear pending .SPL files in spool folder.
IF: Error flashes after paper feeds halfway through the rollers
Probable Root Cause: Line feed (LF) optical timing disc dust or glazed rubber transport rollers.
Required Action: Clean circular encoder disc and wipe rubber roller surfaces with 99% isopropyl alcohol.
