Print Head Holder Does Not Move to Replacement Position

To move the black print head holder to the position for replacing, refer to Replacing the Print Head.

If the optional FINE Cartridge Holder does not move to the position for replacing, check the following check items.

1. Check1 Is ON lamp off?

   Check if the ON lamp is lit.

   The print head holder will not move unless the power is on. If the ON lamp is off, close the scanning unit / cover and turn the printer on.

   The ON lamp flashes while the printer is initializing. Wait until the ON lamp stops flashing and remains lit, and then open the scanning unit / cover again.

2. Check2 Is an error message displayed?

   Close the scanning unit / cover, follow the support code (error number) displayed in the error message to resolve the error, and then reopen it. For details on resolving the error, see List of Support Code for Error.

3. Check3 Has scanning unit / cover been left open for 10 minutes or longer?

   If the scanning unit / cover is left open for more than 10 minutes, the print head holder moves to the position to protect it to prevent the print head from drying out. Close and reopen the scanning unit / cover to return the print head holder to the position for FINE Cartridge replacing.

4. Check4 Has printer been printing continuously for a long period?

   Close the scanning unit / cover, wait a while, and then reopen it.

   If the printer has been printing continuously for a long time, the print head holder may not move to the position for FINE Cartridge replacing since the print head may overheat.

Note

• Opening the scanning unit / cover while printing moves the print head holder to the position to protect it. Close the scanning unit / cover and reopen it after printing finishes.
