Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The 0x60 error often displays when the carriage stalls mid-run. Check for any noise or jerky movements when turning the machine on.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Power off the printer and disconnect the power source for 2 minutes.
  2. Open the top cover and verify no paper fragments or labels are blocking the carriage path.
  3. Manually move the carriage left and right to feel for friction or resistance.
  4. Clean the encoder strip (the transparent plastic ribbon behind the carriage) using a lint-free cloth and distilled water.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Use compatible paper weights to minimize jams. Routine cleaning prevents dust from obscuring optical sensors. Original cartridges ensure correct carriage balancing.
