If you still receive the error, cleaning the encoder film of the printer by following these steps may help.

If you still receive the error after following the above recommendations, please turn off the printer, unplug the power cord and leave it out for at least 10 minutes, then plug it back in and turn it back on. If the error persists, the printer will require servicing.
