Poor scanning
Inspect head Data validation failure:
hardware defect. The
validator detected
unexpected dark spots in
spaces or light spots in bars.
This usually indicates a poor
ribbon/media combination, a
dirty printhead, or a burned
pixel. 1. Check that paper and
ribbon are clean,
unwrinkled, and
installed correctly.
2. Clean the printhead.
3. If message reappears,
replace the printhead.

QUICK SETUP menu or via
host software to 6 IPS or
less when using the
validator option and save
the new value as the
