Quick answer

Carriage Jam — the print carriage has stalled or is physically obstructed, most often by a paper jam or a cartridge that isn't seated correctly. Not a firmware/communication fault.

Before you try the solution

  2. 2. Find the printer's exact model number. The same-looking code can mean something different on another model family.
  3. 3. Let the current print, scan, or update operation stop before touching controls, paper paths, or covers.
