F-80 went to print and the printhead will not move.
Belt is tight and can move printhead by hand with no obstruction but when I press RESUME the printer goes through the motions but when it is time for the printhead to move there is a quick clicking sound like the belt is slipping on the motor spindle. THe printer has been having spells where the printhead would not return to the parked position but I was always able to manually push it into position, unplug the printer and it would fireup and reset the printhead and then everything worked fine until the next time. I like the printer and prefer to fix if possible. Especially since the new printers all have the new non refillable ink tanks.
Re: F-80 went to print and the printhead will not move.
If you have had it a time then the belts can get worn so can dust and excess ink build up if its new try one of 2 things ...you can remove belt place it in hot water then straight into cold frocing the belt strech but stop when it hits cold water the second thing you can do is loosen the belt track..cheap trick

dear,
Error 5100 points to a "carriage jam" The carriage is the assembly that contains the printhead and cartridges. This error can be difficult to solve because various things can cause it.
Since this is a new printer, maybe there is some packing or packing tape that is obstructing the carriage. Verify that the carts and printhead are installed properly.
Check the gears as best you can for any obstructions.
If the carriage moves to a center position when you open the cover as if to change cartridges, try a reset to clear the error message :
1. Turn off printer (use button, don't unplug)
2. Hold down Resume button and press Power button.
3. Keep holding down Power button and let Resume button go.
4. Press Resume button 2 times then let BOTH buttons go.
5. Green lights will flash and then stop blinking.
6. When green lights are solid, press the Resume button 4 times.
7. Press the Power button and the printer should turn off, if not, press the Power button once more.
8. Your printer should respond as normal
Sometimes you have to try this a couple of times, if you've never done it before. If this does not work, unplug, wait 3-4 min, then re-plug in. Enjoy..
This will either be a problem with the printhead drive motor, the ribbon cable going to the printhead, or even worse...a problem with the circuit boards inside the printer. It will need to go into the shop for repair.
try this Probably your waste ink counter. Should be cleaned or replaced before resetting but usually you can get away with resetting once. 1. Start with printer OFF 2. Hold down RESUME and then hold down POWER 3. Release RESUME 4. press RESUME twice, then release POWER 5. let green light blink until printhead has finished moving. 6. Select functions below with RESUME, execute with POWER
0 presses - green light - Test Print (exit service for i960) 1 press - orange light - EEPROM info print 2 presses - green light - EEPROM initialise 3 presses - orange light - reset waste ink counter.

goodluck hope it works
I FOUND A SOLUTION that worked for me for the CANON F50:
F30/F50 Printer
1. Enter Service Mode - by pressing "menu then copy then #"
2. Select TEST MODE
3. Select (8) PRINTER TEST in TEST MODE
4. Select 3 (EEPROM CLEAR)
5. Select 0 (INK COUNT)
6. Press Stop/Reset key
7. Press On/Off Key
try to move the printhead left to right. and make sure there is nothing obstructing it. Also make sure you ink cartridges are in securely. If that doesnt work let me know.
