Hardware error 03130031-290A applies to printer models that have a hard drive. This is not a major error, but it may require some parts. I wouldn't be overly concerned about the future of your imagePROGRAF iPF large format printer unless you don't know how to use a screwdriver.

What is hardware error 03130031-290A?

Long numbers can be intimidating. In this case, your hardware error is telling you the printer is having a difficult time talking to its hard drive. The service manual says the HDD is not connected or was not detected at startup.

Can I Fix The Error

How To Fix The Error
