Printhead Errors (First Digit = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

If you think your Printer is requesting you to replace your Printheads too frequently you can check Printhead nozzle status by printing the Diagnostic Print ⇒ Refer to 6, Print Quality.

Do not touch, wipe or attempt to clean the Printhead nozzles. This can damage the Printhead and reduce print quality (See Page 9-6for Maintenance Procedures).

When replacing Printheads:

νEnsure that you have the correct Printhead.

νEnsure that the Printhead is the correct color for that slot.

νEnsure that the protective cap is removed from the Printhead.

νCheck the empty slots to see if they need cleaning. In extreme circumstances, when a Printhead is inserted, it is possible that the Printer will not recognize it due to the build-up of ink on the electrical connection between the Printhead and the Printhead carriage.

If all 6 Printheads present the same error message, check the following:

νAll Printheads installed are NOT wrong type i.e. wrong model, Setup Printheads instead of normal etc.

νIf you replace or reseat Printheads one at a time and the error persists for all Printheads, this indicates a hardware failure. Do the following:

1Check that the Carriage Tube Connector is correctly connected to the Carriage.

2Check that the Trailing Cable connections between the

 

Carriage Assembly and the Main PCA and if the cable is

 

damaged, replace it ⇒ Page 8-36.
