Fujitsu DPK7000 Error E-07: Ribbon End
The Fujitsu DPK7000 error E-07 is a system notification indicating that the ink ribbon has reached the end of its cycle or is not being fed correctly by the printer's drive mechanism. This preventative error prevents the metal printhead pins from contacting the platen directly, which could cause permanent damage. Why is my DPK7000 printer showing error E-07? It usually occurs when the ribbon dries out or slips off the tensioner.
Common causes
- 1Exhausted or dry ink ribbon.
- 2Cartridge improperly seated in the carriage.
- 3Ribbon fabric tearing or slipping.
- 4Faulty ribbon tensioning mechanism.
