Intuitively, I would disconnect the interface parallel or USB cable from the back of the printer while troubleshooting this problem. These printers are designed to be serviced without being connected to a printer.
You mentioned Service Mode, is there any chance you could have entered a code you didn't intend? There are some bad reset code instructions out there; by unknowingly using a wrong code you can easily change something you did not intend to change. Read Jackson's post 30 same link as post 32 below where he tell us he entered a wrong code and the resulting problem. Also read Post 11 this link for a post by an S owner that used a wrong code -- he tells us "So I reset the waste counter, re initialized the EPROM, and reset the market code.
Now the printer works like new. Now, compare the codes posted by Jackson to the codes I found posted on fixyourprinter. Notice the differences. Jackson, in Post 32 this link writes Read also related posts 30 and I just got a hold of the i Should be cleaned or replaced before resetting but usually you can get away with resetting once.
Start with printer OFF 2. This also applies to the i, i, i, i Good Luck, I hope this helps?! Lillia, The Service codes from "FixyourownPrinter" post are wrong. The problem is that "Dazz" got it wrong. Dazz UK. Trigger 37 said:. I sent Grandad35 an email asking for his help. Since this potentially affect many people that would like to disassemble and clean their printheads, we should try to find out what went wrong and how to fix it,..
Thanks a lot for updating this post. I still have more testing to do but I think your conclusions and mine have come to the same point. When I cleaned the printhead and took apart the ceramic housing,.. I was not aware that there was a chip behind the contact board on the printhead. I did some very agressive riinsing of all of the mechanizm and that includes high air pressure to blow out the nozzles on the ceramic head, and to clear all water on any part of the printhead.
Since I didn't take the circuit board off of the printhead, there could have been water in behind it. This could have created some low resistance paths on any of the printhead signal lines. I think we should clearly update the procedure so that everyone knows what and what not to do in cleaning the head.
I am not worried about the flex cable that connects the printhead and the ceramic nozzles. The welds that bond the flex cable to the circuit board pads and the Ceramic print nozzles are done with high tech thermal welds.
You could hang a 10 pound weight on both ends and not break one of them loose. This technology is use around the world on just about every kind of electronics that requires flexible cable connections.
Also, there is an epoxy strain relief half way between the circuit board and the ceramic head. This prevents either end from putting stress on any electrical connection when either end is hanging loose. I also don't thing the IC on the backof the circuit board can be damaged by water.
These are hermetically sealed circuits. I talked to a local Canon Service rep and he helped me with some local testing. What we concluded is that something on the PC circuit board is also blown, since no matter what I do the printer will not come ready. When I first put the cleaned head in the printer, I immediately got 5 orange flashes. This is an error message that the printhead is not installed correctly.
The main PC detected this via the wiring from the printhead. Clearly some lines were crossed or shorted,.. What I didn't know at that time was what the 5 flaslhing ment.
I should have stopped right there and taken the printhead out to see what was wrong. I did open the cover and check the ink tanks and then proceeded to try and get it to work. The bad news was that the PC printer maintenience tab was still working then and now. I was able to do a cleaning cycle since I new there was no ink in the nozzles, and then I forced it to do a nozzle print test.
What ever is wrong with the PC board the system still tells me that the printer is ready, even though the Green light is out. It would and will right now let me do any normal function from the printer driver. When the nozzle test print started, it fed the paper and acted as if it had successfully printed,.. Because the printer won't come ready, there is no way to get into Service Mode.
The service tech said that he felt nothing could be done short of replacing the main circuit board and a new printhead. There will just be no ink. So there can not be much wrong with the processor board and the rest of the mechanism. There is probably a simple power on test of the printhead connection each time the cover is opened and closed.
If the printhead does not respond with the correct signals, The tech told me to remove all the ink and the printhead and close the cover. He felt the Green ready light would come on for a second and then flash some orange lights for a new error code. This does not work. The printer parks the empty carriage on the right and goes dormant. This is the same symptom all the time. I am going to take the printhead appart one more time and this time remove the contact circuit board to get at the back of it and clean that very good, and then try it one more time.
In no way am I going to put a new printhead back in this printer. I think by now some of the input signal pins on the Main PC board, coming from the print head were damaged and are now bad. This is why it won't come ready and this is why the firing signals to the printhead are not executing. This sounds kind of dumb,.. Hope I haven't wasted anyone's time on this, but I think it should be added to the cleaning instructions to remove the contact circuit board and clean it if you choose to take apart the printhead.
Is there a way to reset a Canon iX? It has served me well until now. My computer is an iMac with The other night, I was running one sheet of label paper through the printer when it jammed.
I was able to slowly pull it out from the back, as instructed on the Canon website. I e-mailed Canon Tech Support and they suggested cleaning the print head. I called Tech Support. He had me unplug and push the buttons. No luck, so he thinks the sensor may be damaged, and I need to buy a new one. At that point, I tried uninstalling and re-installing the driver. It installed easily until I got to the part where it wanted e to do a test printing. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
