Canon imageProGRAF IPF770 Nozzle POS Check Fail 2F30 error

[Phil B.]

No it's not. The majority of calls are resolved with printhead and maintenance cartridge. Occasionally aftermarket ink cartridges.

One thing to keep in mind is that the error codes and messages very rarely lead you in the right direction. A Google search gets you better information than anything you get from the manual.

I had a customer ask me once if I could flip the switch so it would use the generic ink cartridges. I told him it was about proper sealing of the ink cartridges, not about flipping some switch. Funny. =^..^=

ok... I am getting tired of him picking up new dealerships...

all in the last year KM - Muratec - Canon - Epson

I busted my ass to get him re-certified on: Brother - Xerox - HP - Zebra - Oki Label

thank GOD we dropped the SamSucks line!

Ok so I am making headway.

I have resolved the 2F26 error code by replacing the linear encoder strip. Head initialization is great now.

I am still getting a 2F30 error code after noz pos check adjustment. Same problem I have plenty of ink supply it is just not firing into the sensor well.

I replaced the main board thinking somehow the firmware was corrupt or fried. That did not resolved anything.

Everything is new accept the carriage motor and the head management sensor. I have ordered a head management sensor but it will be a week before I get it in I fear.

Has anyone seen this type of misalignment of the head management sensor and nozzle firing?

I am going to have to scrap the machine if I can not get a quick resolution to the issue I described. Anyone have any idea why the printer would perform a nozzle position check outside the sensor area?

Practically everything on the machine is replaced including the main board.
