Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

Error 0x60 presents as a stalled carriage. Listen for clunking sounds which indicate a hard stop against an obstacle. If the carriage is stuck in the middle of the track, this is your primary verification step.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power Off: Turn off the printer and disconnect the power cable.
  2. Access Carriage: Lift the scanner unit to reach the ink cartridge carriage.
  3. Clear Obstructions: Remove any paper scraps or debris blocking the movement path.
  4. Check Encoder Strip: Clean the transparent encoder strip with a dry microfiber cloth if it looks smudged.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Monthly cleaning of the internal cavity is recommended. Never force the carriage movement manually. Stick to original 312/312XL cartridges to keep internal contamination to a minimum.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the carriage is clear but the error persists, the motor belt may be loose or the carriage motor itself may have failed.
