Honeywell PX940e ERR-105 Error: Solution Guide
The Honeywell PX940e ERR-105 error is a logic fault related to system data processing or internal memory. This code appears when the printer encounters malformed instructions or a memory addressing conflict while interpreting complex jobs. To fix the ERR-105 error on your Honeywell PX940e, clear the print buffers via a complete physical reboot.
Common causes
- 1Memory conflict during ZPL/DPL command interpretation.
- 2Temporary corruption in print cache.
- 3Malformed command instructions from the host.
- 4Outdated firmware with known RAM management issues.
Solutions
Quick Diagnosis
If ERR-105 happens repeatedly with specific software, there is likely an incompatibility with the command language (ZPL, DPL) the printer cannot handle correctly.Step-by-Step Solution
- Turn off and unplug the printer for 60 seconds.
- Disconnect all data cables (USB/Ethernet) to rule out network or electric noise.
- Power on without data connections and check if the panel error persists.
- If it boots up normally, update firmware to the latest version to improve RAM handling.
Prevention and Maintenance
Avoid sending mass print tasks if firmware isn't current. Use high-quality cables and ensure port settings match your print standard.When to Call a Technician
If ERR-105 persists upon startup even without cables, the main logic board is hardware-damaged and needs replacement.Equipment Technical Data

Frequently asked questions
Error ERR-105 is a system memory error or a data processing fault, usually caused by a conflict in print file format interpretation.
Ensure print jobs are sent in the correct format (e.g., ZPL) and keep firmware up to date.
None, this is a logic board error and not physical consumable issue.
Only as a last resort if the error persists after firmware updates.
