I was having quite a few errors and issues with my iPF8100 which caused me to eventually replace both heads, the head PCB, and the carriage PCB. That finally fixed the primary issues and the printer...
I found a few small fuses soldered on the main PCB and one on the power supply PCB. Do you know if yours were soldered on or replaceable? Is it something that was able to be tested while on the board?
I've tried that a few times unfortunately. I can't power it off when it says "open cover," it doesn't even allow me to shut down. I've tried opening and closing the cover, unplugging, and turning...
I was getting an xx2618 EV voltage error on my iPF8100. So, per the service manual and Canon, I replaced both printheads. However, since it was throwing the error before I could get it to start in...
So I was getting a xxx2618 hardware error which I was told by Canon that replacing the heads was usually the solution. I had to boot in service mode to get it to do a carriage move for the head...
Thanks for the info, it was actually helpful even though it did vary a bit in the 8100. When I looked harder for some way to remove the left side of the carriage, I was able to locate the cover...
Did you ever figure anything out on your issue? I'm having a similar issue, although I did replace the printheads.
I removed most of the parts of the carriage unit to get access to the head PCB, but didn't see where that was connected. Did yours slide towards the back of the carriage on the left side? It's hard...
Quick question. Does the replacing the multi sensor on an iPF8100 require removing the entire carriage, or is there another way. I know it's located on the left side of the carriage, but I can't seem...
I'm aware of that, but that doesn't have anything to do with electrical contamination. In your example, it wouldn't matter if you swapped the main board with a brand new board or a used board, the...
I appreciate the reply, but I've literally never heard of electrically contaminating something. It's rather common practice to swap parts from electronics to test a fault, how would doing so break...
So, I have a iPF8100 that has been working fine up until today when I went to print. It threw a clean or replace printhead error. I ran a head cleaning B, after which it gave me a 2F2F error. I shut...
I was just wondering if anyone had input on storing a printer for later parts or repair use. I have two imagePROGRAF iPF8100 printers, one has some sort of hardware issue which I can't currently fix...
Quick question. I've had a head management sensor which I thought was related to a bad printhead. I replaced the left printhead first to see if it would resolve the issue. I ran a nozzle check from...
Oh, and just one more thing to add. I'm running 1.43 firmware, which appears to be the latest, so I don't think that could be a problem.
So, I finally received the replacement printhead and started by replacing the left. It returned the same hardware error. I did another Nozzle 1 check and it looked identical to the prior check. What...
Here's the printout from the service mode. It definitely looks like there are some missing portions in this printout, am I to assume that indicates that the heads probably need replacement?
...
I've removed the right cover to clean the head management sensor, which didn't seem to resolve the issue. I did observe the ink lines on that side while doing head cleanings. It appears that they all...
Okay, so quick question. I recently acquired an iPF8100 that was no longer in use from a client. When I attempt to print, I'm getting an error "Execute printhead cleaning. If this message is still...
