Display shows "check printhead"

The print head is just under 2 years old, when the message appears the printer goes into pause mode. When the online button is pushed it starts printing. There is no smudging or deterioration in the quality of the print. What's going on? The manual says that the printer head should be replaced. Why replace it when it is working OK.

Hello Neil, If the quality of print is fine then i dont think there is a problem with your printer head. It must be some error with the software or some other part in ur printer. Do check the printer for some other faults.

My Canon iPF8400S displays a hardware error 03130031-2F4D message. What does it mean?

Hi
"VHT leak detection error of left printhead,
in case of VHT exceeds rated value or falls
below the rated value."
So, error shows left printhead feeding voltage problem. It can be result of fault:
-printhead;
-Carriage relay board;
-flexible cable
-main controller.
Low speed of printing can be when printhead have overrange with it temperature; and when printing, printer makes a pauses to cold printhead. More information you can get from file PRINT INF under SERVICE MODE.
If you are a "ordinary user", looks like you can only try to change left printhead (success not guaranted!).

How do U clean my print head

  1. If it is still clogged, you can try to clean the printer head manually. Toclean the printer head, remove the ink cartridge from the printer. Moisten a cotton swab by dipping it in hot water or isopropyl alcohol, and then gently wipe the printer head. Do this repeatedly until it softens the dried ink.

Error/ Head Lift Error

If you replaced the o-ring on the headlift assembly and that did not solve the problem, most likely you may have a sensor out that controls the position of the head lift.

Printhead Problems

Since buying the L7780 printer for our business office two years ago, the printer has been a work horse for us. The problems I've seen online about scanning, paper jams and ink cartridge issues have been none existent. Then it was time to change the print head. The L7780 printed several pages before the print head error message appeared and the printer ceased printing. We tried all the solutions offered online including another print head and cartridges but to no avail. We were ready to buy a new printer. Then a member our team whom we dubbed “Service Tech 130” came up with the solution. Service Tech 130 simply pried the chips off both print heads with a screw driver and super glued the old chip onto the new print head. Now the printer has been working as if nothing was every wrong.
For this to work for those of you having the same problem, you would have to be in possession of the old print head that worked prior to the error. Attached is an image showing the location of the chip. Hope this works for you as it did for us.9101d4c.gif
