and check whether the cloth can be manually advanced by using the white gears on its right-hand
side. If so, reinsert it. If not, try a new printhead cleaning cartridge. Turn the printer on. If
the problem persists, call your service representative. See When you need help
on page 46.
24:03 The setup procedure has been not been completed. Restart the printer, then restart the setup
procedure from the beginning.
26.n:01 (where n = the ink cartridge number)
Remove the ink cartridge and reinstall it in the printer. If the error persists, replace the cartridge
with a new one. If the problem persists, call your service representative. See When you need
help on page 46.
26.n:10 (where n = the ink cartridge number)
A bad contact has been detected in the ink cartridge. Remove the cartridge and reinstall it in
the printer. If the problem persists, replace the cartridge with a new one. If problem still persists,
call your service representative. See When you need help on page 46.
29:01 The printhead cleaning cartridge is not inserted correctly. Open the printhead cleaning cartridge
door on the right side of the printer, make sure that the printhead cleaning cartridge is correctly
seated, then close the door. If the problem persists, replace the printhead cleaning cartridge.
If the problem persists, call your service representative. See When you need help
on page 46.
32:01 The take-up reel is disconnected. If you want to use the take-up reel, turn off the printer and
ensure that all take-up reel cables are connected (sensor cables, printer cable). If you do not
want to use it, you may need to unload the substrate manually from the take-up reel. Remember
to cut the paper first, either manually or by pressing the Move substrate key.
32:01.1 This error occurs when there is a small amount of substrate printed, less than 79 in (200 cm)
long. Check that there is no obstacle between the take-up reel optical sensors; that the
substrate is attached to the take-up reel spindle; and that the take-up reel switch is in the correct
position. If necessary, use the take-up reel arrow keys to wind the substrate; then press OK to
resume printing.
32:01.2 This error occurs when there is a small amount of substrate printed, less than 70 in (178 cm)
long. The take-up reel sensor detects that the loop shaper is (incorrectly) at the bottom of its
path, even though the spindle motor has been rotating for more than 3 seconds. The most
probable cause of this error is that you have forgotten to set the switch direction or tape the
substrate to the spindle core, when the substrate reaches the floor and blocks the take-up reel’s
infrared sensors. Check that there is no obstacle between the take-up reel optical sensors; that
the substrate is attached to the take-up reel spindle; and that the take-up reel switch is in the
correct position. If necessary, use the take-up reel arrow keys to wind the substrate; then
press OK to resume printing.
32:02 This error occurs during printer initialization, to warn you that the take-up reel has been
disconnected while the printer was turned off. It also occurs if you try to enable the take-up reel,
but it is not connected to the printer. Connect the take-up reel to the printer and press OK to
continue.
32.1:01 A take-up reel error has occurred. Make sure that the substrate is adequately taped to the takeup
reel spindle core, then make sure that the winding direction is correctly set.
32.2:01 The take-up reel can not be detected. Make sure that the take-up reel sensor cable is correctly
connected.
41:03 Turn off the printer using the front panel and the power switch at the rear. Disconnect the power
cords. Open the window and check for any visible obstacles restricting the movement of the
drive roller. If there is a wrinkled mass of substrate in the substrate path, lift the substrate
adjustment lever and clear the obstruction. Reconnect the power cords and turn the printer on
again. If the problem persists, call your service representative. See When you need help
on page 46.
42:03 Turn off the printer using the front panel and the power switch at the rear. Disconnect the power
cords. Open the window and check for any visible obstacles restricting the movement of the

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Hi Cielab
When the ink runs out on the HP Latex there is no beep indication to let you know, is there a setting for this?
I’ve looked on the printer settings but can’t anything.
Cheers
We have requested the beep be added to the firmware and HP have acknowledged the requirement for an audible alert.
They are implementing it in some way in the future but the details at this stage are not public
erorr code 98:03 any bady know abaut this error, please somebady halp…
It sounds like a dirty ink funnel error – take it out and clean it under a tap
