Event Code 71.02.4A

[pd571]

I have followed the instructions to reset the printer. I have tried to clean the cartridges, but the cartridges are on the far right side of the printer and will not move to the left side to remove the cartridges for cleaning. Can you please assist.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to assist you.

I understand you're experiencing an issue with your printer that has an error code.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, I'm here to help you today.

Please follow the steps below to fix the issue.

A) Perform a power drain.

1) Unplug the power cord from the printer & wall.

2) Press and hold the power button down for 15 seconds and release the power button, wait for about 30 seconds.

3) Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall, ensure the printer is plugged into the wall & not into a surge protector.

4) Power on the printer and check if the carriage moves to the center to replace the ink cartridges

B) Kindly refer to the steps on this link to update the printer firmware and let me know if that resolves the issue.

C) Refer to the steps on this link to troubleshoot further to release the carriage jam.
