Dell AIO Printer A960 Hardware Error 0502?
My printer will print beautifully and after a couple of copies will register Hardware Error 0502 and then prints only top couple of lines. If I turn off everything and unplug it, it copies well again a few times. then a repeat of the problem again. Can't find anything relating to this error. Help? Thanks

All the helpful posts were deleted long ago but it was clear that the problem was the "encoder strip" and/or the cartridge carrier where the strip was read.
After constant "error 502" and tiring of cleaning the strip every other page of printing, I dismantled my 940 (NOT an easy task). That's when I discovered that the machine was made different than "support" instructed. That's also when I decided to get another printer. I purchased a Lexmark X7170 months ago (yes, I know the Dell A940 is a Lexmark)and it functions flawlessly. I've also regained most of the sanity I had lost while struggling with the A940.

Your offer is 100% more than Dell has done.
