Can i move printerhead without power - Office Equipment & Supplies

Your printer needs a service, in other words the waste ink sponges need to be cleaned and dried. They then need to be replaced and the printer reassembled. Then the Epson counter resetting software needs to be installed.

With this software the printer can be set to zero, it will work perfectly after this bit of attention.
It is a good printer, it's nothing that can't be repaired.

A computer technician will be more than happy to service your printer for you.

All the best!

If your printer have a separate printerhead with the cartridge just try to replace the printerhead of that printer it is because the printerhead have a problem on that.

Try to check the ink of your printer that they have more ink inside. Or els just check the printerhead of that printer its maybe that was a problem for that. If they could not print at all after this solution just change your printerhead it is because that was the problem. If your printer are using the built-in printerheat from the cartridge just replace the cartridge of what color are did not print but if your using separate printerhead of your cartridge just only replace the printerhead only.

Hello, Please try this: Power off the printer, take the Color cartridge out(Magenta), take a thin and dust-free cloth or tissue and clean the hysinc mirror and the printerhead lens. The hysinc mirror and printerhead lens is in the printer not on the magenta cartridge. Reinstall the print cartridge and power on. Try again to print this will help.

Is the carriage rail clean, and lightly lubricated?

Cheat the door switch and observe the carriage moving at boot up.

(Keep your fingers out of the way!)

See if you can spot where it sticks.
Sometimes the printhead capping unit / service station seizes up, and the carriage cannot leave / return to the home position.

This model was not one of their best.... Good luck

for that problem may the printerhead have a problem may be your printerhead is overheated thats why you can't finish prinnting, try to pull out or remove the printer head and try to power on the printer if the printer is responced and power up again thats the time to change your printer head......

I had the same problem. I removed the cartridges and then the printerhead. I cleaned the printerhead with a piece of cloth and then replaced it and then the cartridges. This seems to have fixed the "wrong cartridge" problem for now. I was told by a friend that if the problem persits, replacing the printerhead may be a more permanent solution, but no guarantee.

When the printhead moved left did it hit the left hand travel stop really hard? If so it's probably the same thing that happened to mine-a failure of a travel sensor, which is part of a circuit board. Turned out to be a repair shop job which took forever due to Canon's inability to provide spares for its products.
