in the properties section where U find the maintenance program is there a choice that says clean bottom roller - try that - also try using a paper towel to soak up any ink that might be on the rollers and if that is the problem just run a bunch of junk pages and the lines should eventually fade away

its a common problem after getting refilled cartridge....


please insert a new catridge and try again.........


sure u can solve this problem.......

thank u .........

Error 6000 is a line feed error, it means the platen roller isn't advancing properly. It usually means something has fallen in from the back where the paper goes and is stopping the rollers from turning.
Check the printer for any paper jam or try to reset the printer to release memory code errors.

1. Press and hold the Resume button for 1 - 2 minutes.
2. Open the cover.
3. Remove the cartridge and then reinstall it.
4. Close the cover.
5. Turn Off the printer.
6. Turn On the printer.

Inkjet printers need to be used frequently to prevent inkdrying out in the print head nozzles.
If the print head cleaning maintenance routine does not clear the blockages,then print head needs replacing, but it may be expensive.
It may be more cost effective to buy a later model and better printer thanreplace the print head.

6000 is a problem with the paper feed sensor on the platen roller inside. If something has fallen in that stops the rollers you get that error, a shop repair if you can't see anything inside.

solution from here

You have a faulty print head and you will need to replace it.

Error Code 5100

It can have a lot to do with some obstruction in the print path, the gears, or ink on the clear plastic encoder strip. The purge cap (the white sliding mechanism that the print head parks to when it's not in use) was not lubricated well enough from factory. If you lubricate the sliders with some white grease (don't get it on the small wipers or the black caps) the mechanism can now slide more freely, and the unit can park the head properly without giving you the dreaded head homing error 5100 (or E-2-2 on the LCD display) Keep in mind that this repair will probably require you to remove the right panel off of the printer to gain access to the purge mechanism. There are two screws behind the printer, and two in front for each corresponding side panel (the front screws are behind the grey front panel of the printer - open the top cover to see the clips which hold the front cover on) Hope this helps some of you out.

Also try:

Opening up the case so you can get to the side where the power pack is located and then disconnecting the small plug connecting it to the printer circuit boards, wait 10 seconds, reconnect the plugs again the printer and then re-connect the external power lead.

The print head is probably blocked. You'll have to check you user manual to see if or how it can be removed for cleaning.

Here's the support site:-

It is a ome kind of jam in the purge unit. Open the cover and pull out the power cord, and now you can move the printhead to the left and out of your way. Use a flashlight and a folded paper towel and examine the parking ink pads where the printhead comes to rest. It is inside on the far right. You want to see if the wiper blades are stuck extended. The should be all the way back but sometimes they stick forward. Press on them gentley and see if they free up.

If they are back, press down softly on one or both of the black ink pads with the paper towel. Be careful not to get ink on your fingers and it won't come off very easy.

If the printhead won't come to the center, then its jammed into some part of the purge unit. Plug the power back in and turn the printer on. At the power on cycle starts, press gentley to the right and then release. IF that does not work, repeat the power on/off and try again but this time wiggile the head both left and right. You don't want to use any force, you are just trying to free it from the jam condition.

Please rate the answer if it helps you to solve the issue.

Hi there

A Canon printer gives you a 5C00 error, you should remove the print head, clean it with a dry paper towel, and reinsert it. ...»
Hi There

Summary

Usage of compatible ink and leave the printer idle too long may cause printhead clogging
What should you do if you get this problem. Relax; you may recover the printhead by unclogging it. Follow these steps to unclog the printhead

1. Right click in the printer driver name
2. Select Properties menu
3. Click Maintenance tab
4. Click on cleaning sign for regular cleaning. Perform this up to 3 times.
5. If this does not work, perform Deep Cleaning

And if that not work

Some times it needs a good clean up but this is up to you if you want to do this,
But after you done this prime the printer so it gets the inks back in the heads, it may take a little time for the inks to work.

Ok.

There is fluid cleaner for this but I can never find any in the shops the only ones I seen is when they sell them in Tesco but they come in with the ink refill bottles so I just use worm water by it self on a cloth and dabbing on the heads to clean them, it will not harm the heads but not to much water.

Some heads are on the inks them self but some have them inside the printer so I not know your printer so if the heads are inside you need to get them out you may find that some heads will just clip out put some need to be unscrewed so you got to know how they come out so be careful and not push to hard on them, if the heads are on the ink then it is a easy job to clean them,
It worth a try it worked for me more than ones.

Please all I ask is call back and just gave a vote, it will gave me some satisfaction to know am helping some one, so I will keep on helping.

check the cartridge or remove then insert it again.

Did you try to clean the printer head of your printer?

You can also try to uninstall your ink cartridges and wipe the black cartridge's printer head with a dry piece of a tissue paper. Hope this helps.

Hi amy, what is the model of your printer? If your printer is Canon or HP, I can conclude that the problem was your printer's chip detector or something related to that part of the printer that reads your cartridges.

But if your printer was Epson, the ink cartridge is not the problem, the problem is with your printer head. Printer head of Epson differs from canon and HP which are attached to their own cartridges. If your printer head got clogged, then it would never print, it needs to be clean.

Epson has a built in printer head inside your printer, that means if you will change the cartridge with a new one, it doesn't help at all unless you will get your printer in a cleaning mode. If the cleaning doesn't help you can bring your printer to the nearest printer technician.

Make sure the settings are on A4 not A5. In the printer settings

probably a cartage is incorrectly insert, take them all out and put them in again. If it don't work Check for paper jam, run diagnostics and I always find hitting them helps

Both of these units are PictBridge certified, so they should be able to communicate with each other. Be sure that your camera is set up to communicate using the PictBridge protocol. See this link, and view the PictBridge Printer Instruction Manual, page 2, to set the camera up.

nope..that's not really an issue with the drying out. it's more likely that the print cartridge MAY have the tape still installed. Try the steps again..and then do a test page.
