has found that the printhead cover is not securely closed.
Open the window and check the printhead cover. The procedure is 
described in the Printhead replacement
 procedure.
Note : This message may also appear following a paper jam, as the 
printer cannot detect the exact reason for the problem. In this case 
you may have to resort to powering off the printer or even removing 
the power cable from the machine, in order to recover from the 
problem. See  Clearing a paper jam
.

setup printheads have not been installed correctly.
Open the window and follow subsequent instructions to reinstall or 
relocate the setup printheads. Contact HP for advice if the setup 
printheads are missing or cannot be installed correctly.
