Solutions

Quick Diagnostics

The W-02 error triggers if the print head motion is physically impeded. Listen for any loud 'bumping' noises when the printer starts, which confirm an obstacle is present.

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Unplug: Always disconnect the power to ensure the head remains stationary.
  2. Clear Area: Open the main cover and locate the blockage near the head.
  3. Extraction: Use plastic tweezers to remove small fragments.
  4. Verify: Ensure the carriage moves freely by sliding it carefully by hand.

Prevention and Maintenance

Prevent dust from settling on the carriage rails. Avoid using over-the-limit paper thickness which can jam the transport mechanism.

When to Call a Technician

If the carriage continues to sound like it's colliding with something after you've cleared the path, the head alignment sensor is damaged.
