Hi.

This is not an all-in-one inkjet that you can service at home. This is a large format printer, and print head replacement requires adjustment. The job is suitable for a technician or for an experienced DIY user that can service large format printers and copiers.

After replacement the print head rail must be greased and print head calibrated. If this operations are not getting done correctly, the printer may result damaged.

About error code:

The error code given is incomplete

Error:03800200-2802 means "Incorrect Print Head Installed".

Error:03010000-2820 means "Unable to adjust printhead registration"

If you have first error, then the printhead is either faulty or the part is wrong.

If you are in case two, try performing print head registration, if that does not work, then the print head has not been installed correctly.

The calibration procedure must be performed each time the head is replaced:

4.5.2 Procedure after Replacing the Carriage Unit or Multi Sensor

a) Multi Sensor Recalibration
Since multi sensors have individual electrical specificity, the following are recalibrated at the factory, namely,the optical axis of the sensor, the sensor gain for measuring the printhead height and color reproduction.
Accordingly, carry out the following adjustments in the service mode whenever replacing the carriage unit or multi sensor.
* The multi sensor reference plate must be replaced at the same time whenever the carriage or the multi sensor is being replaced.

- Service mode : SERVICE MODE > ADJUST > GAP CALIB
- Service mode : SERVICE MODE > ADJUST > SENSOR CALIB
Test chart : CL-7( Tool No. : FY9-9323 Use anew chart.)
- Service mode : SERVICE MODE > ADJUST > PRINT PATTERN > OPTICAL AXIS
Media type : Photo glossy paper
Media size : Media having a width equal toor larger then that of 24inch-size paper

If that does not work you need to proceed to wire roller adjustment. The adjustment is usually not needed if you replaced only the print head, and not the carriage:

b) Adjusting the wire roller

To prevent the wire roller mounted on the carriage from contacting the duct and others during carriage operation, perform the following adjusutment whenever tou have removed or replaced the carriage unit. This adjustment is not required when you have replaced only the multi sensor.
* Make adjustments with the carriage lock released.
* Make adjustments with the tube disconnected from the tube guide.

(1) Loosen the two screws[1]
(2) Turn the gear[2] until the lift cam flag[3] reaches the position shown below.
* Bottom position where the sensor[4] light is blocked by the flag (lowest position to which the carriage may descend)

I get an error messige printhead error, and under this messige it reads: turn power off now before this message it reads for a fraction of a sec it reads offline under this message feed paper arros up...

for drivers go to http://www.usa.canon.com
you will find every driver for free download
after you have made this upload add printer but unziping each file and setting it on your system
under all Programs you will see new programs associated with your downloaded files Next, add Printer from "Start" add printer menu it will auto upload W8400 Printer.
make sure yout canon is "ON" and pluged to your "PC"
after this has uploaded you will see from the programs now downloaded one program called imagePROGRAPH firmware update too, click on the icon close all programs less this page and the program itself click OK and it will search for target printer, if the unit is conected it should show data of the W8400 Canon Printer including firmware, if the firmware reads 2.15 and the year you are in is 2011, then you are uptodate for now, if it reads a smaller number then do the next step, which is goto you printer and switch it off, then press (OK + stop/eject + information) do not let go of the bottons and switch unit ON.
do not let go untill you see GREEN online light come on

you now will see on the screen DOWNLOAD MODE send firmware. walk back to your PC and in the above menu you will see "file - view - printer - firmware - help" click on firmware and send the file.
Make yourself a coffee, by the time you drank it the screen should say load finished and switch off
do that and re start normaly the firmware should have updated. and 2.03 now read 2.15 any other number above this and you may have the wrong frimware.
If the unit still reads Printhead Error, and you see the ink is running okay, not block then it may be something wrong with the heads but if it is blocked place in hot water and you will see the ink flow
dry with paper towel by preding not sliding if you have print head problems still, check circuit conection if there is power comming to the head,

Printhead Error is displayed and therefore rendering the machine unuasable. Do you have any suggestions for a fix?

Replace with new printhead if the print head is past it's service life. If not past it's service life when you get that error message press the online button and it should print fine.
