Ink cartridge in Z705 will not move to center of carriage for changing when top is lifted Even though the Belt is moving. Help !!!!!!!!!!!.. >:( :( :'(

Sometimes the ink cartridge carrier won't automatically move to its loading position even when the printer is on and the cover is open. Follow the steps below:

1. Unplug the printer from the power source.

2. With the cover open, hold the solid white strip that connects from the carrier assembly to the ink cartridge carrier and gently slide the cartridge carrier to the center of the printer.

3. Remove the used cartridges.

4. Load the new cartridges. Close the cover.

5. Plug the printer back to the power source.

To solve your problem follow the instruction step by step. Start with printer powered off
1. Open cover of printer and verify that the ink cartridge carriage is not in the center of the printer. Leave cover open.
2. Unplug the electrical cord from the printer and wait 30 seconds.
3. Plug electrical cord back in, when ink cartridge carriage moves to the center of the printer quickly unplug the electrical cord again. This should leave the ink cartridge carriage in the center of the printer so you can get to it.
4. Lift up the gray arm that surrounds the ink cartridges.
5. Remove the entire ink cartridge holder (not just the ink cartridges). It will lift out easily as a unit. Lower the gray arm that you lifted to remove the cartridge holder.
6. Close printer cover. Plug electricity back in.
7. There should be a message about checking the ink cartridge on the display . Thanks

Try reseating the ink cartridge. Maybe, the cartridge is not seated properly.

Here are the simple steps:

1. Lift the control panel by holding the panel along the top edge.
2. Pull the control panel forward.
3. Lift the ink cartridge access door. for better access, stow the document input tray away. the carriage will move to the center.
4. Then, try reseating the cartridge. Hold the ink cartridge by the black
areas or colored top only.

Good luck,

Ryan

In case you need it, here is a link to the user manual which will walk you through replacing the cartridges step by step. See page 76 in the manual.

If you can't get thecartridges to center, turn the power off and gently move the carriage to the center.

After you open the cover and the carriage comes to the center for new ink, you press the resume button for a few seconds and the carriage will go to the printhead changing position. You don't want to ever force the printhead to move. Hope you didn't break something already. Sorry for the stupid help.

1. Check that the printer is powered on and open the front cover.
   
   
2. Wait until the print head moves to the center.
   
   
3. Check if the ink tanks are installed properly.
   
   
   
   
   Ink tanks installed correctly
   
   
   
   
   Ink tanks installed incorrectly
   
   
4. When installing the ink tanks, push the top of the ink tank until a click sound is made.
   
   Note: If the ink tanks are not installed properly, paper may not be fed properly, or ink may not be ejected.
   
   
   
   
5. Close the front cover.
