attempting any procedures to resolve the problem.

 

Check Printhead Cleaner Path

 

 

This message appears whenever the Service Station Carriage does

 

not move, either because of a bad cable connection, a defective

 

motor or because of some obstacle inside the Service Station.

 

ν If the Printer is new, check that the Service Station cable (which is

 

the grey flat cable with the grey connector) is plugged into the Main

 

PCA. Make sure that the clips of the connector are closed

 

completely. Check also that the Service Station cable is not damaged.

 

ν In already used Printers, power OFF the Printer and try to move

 

the Service Station backwards and forwards to see whether it is

 

blocked. Possible causes are: Printhead Cleaners incorrectly

 

positioned, damaged or, even, pieces of paper within the Service

 

Station. Remove the Printhead Cleaners or the pieces of paper

 

and check whether the problem persists.

 

ν If the problem disappears without the Printhead Cleaners, reinsert them

 

into the Service Station and see whether the problem reappears. If the

 

problem reappears, replace the complete set of Printhead Cleaners.

 

ν If the problem persists even without the Printhead Cleaners, then

 

replace the Service Station (Page 8-67) and recalibrate the Printer.
