The 0x60 code is a carriage movement error. It activates when the printer sensors detect that the head cannot complete its travel. If you hear a clunking noise, an obstruction is likely present.

  1. Disconnect: Unplug the power cord immediately.
  2. Access: Lift the scanner top to reach the ink cartridge area.
  3. Inspect: Slide the carriage manually. Remove any paper scraps or debris.
  4. Clean: Wipe the carriage metal rod with a dry, lint-free cloth.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Don't overfill the paper tray. Clean the encoder strip with extreme caution (isopropyl alcohol on a Q-tip) once a year to prevent sensor errors.
