Detailed solution for: 24:08 General Error
Return to error solutions | General error message
Error 24:08 is only generated if you have the printer set to Hand Feed (on) and the rear card sensor is blocked.
If you are hand feeding you must put the card in the slot in the front just under the LCD screen:
(Image to show front slot - printer model may be different from yours)
We have experienced reports of Error 24:08 only to discover the card was manually being pushed in at the Rear Feed.
This actually triggers the rear card sensor and causes the error.
So either turn hand feed mode Off, or hand feed one card a time into the front feed slot shown above.
Hand feed is 'On' and I am manually inserting the card in the front slot - but still get the error?
If you are inserting the card in the front with Hand Feed 'On' and are still seeing the error message then:
- Open the lid and check the card path is clear inside the printer and make sure there is not a card inside the unit.
- Specifically check towards the rear inside the printer under the blue cleaning roller, then below the orange roller.
- The rear sensor can then also be cleaned and checked for any blockage/foreign object etc?
This short video clip will demonstrate how to gain better access to the Rear Card Sensor:
