Home Error Hi, I have a C.Itoh 5000 Printer, am receiving Home Error. Carridge is not returning to home position. This printer was monunted in a vehicle with a power converter There was a problem with the converter before the error occured. I swapped the printer chassie with a known good chassie and still received the error. There is a very good chance the main board took a 'hit' but I can find no burnt componants. All other systems seem to be working from control panel (I can change settings...) Is there a way to check/change out the home sensor? The manual I have, from C.Itoh, is no help. Thanks in advance, GTW

A21 Home Error refers to the printhead not moving. Most cases, it is due to the fuse being blown on the main logic board. You have to remove the top cover. Open the clear cover, pop out the plastic pins, remove, then pull off the tractor knob on the right, remove the two screws at the top back of the printer, lift up the cover from the back towards the front. You will have to unplug an electrical connect ribbon from behind the control panel. Check the fuse and replace if necessary.

How can i fix a printer that is giving me an error sled home failed

Check to make sure there is nothing blocking the return path of the printer head portion. Even the slightest little piece of paper or tape can prevent the sled from returning to its home position.

You could also push the sled to its home position with the unit off and then start the unit up to see if it still says the same error. After that, trie a factory reset.

Xerox printer error code (04,025.46)

This is a print head position issue.
