Not able to update.It says printer in error state.

Also please suggest,i have replaced Carriage & main board seperately.

whether we need to replace carriage & main controller at the same time?

Please advice.

Main Controller Replacement Caution----see attach
Clearing Error Codes--see attach

Print heads not Recognized
Solution :
Once the covers were removed it was discovered that the flex cable on the top of the carriage assembly had sustained damage.
Steps:
a) Replace the flex cable, with no print heads installed power up in service mode.
b) When the printer comes to a ready state then power down and power up in user mode still no print heads installed.
c) Wait until the printer asks for the print heads to install them.
In this case replacing the flex cable resolved the issue.

Dear All,

One more machine showing the same error after replacing the print head

Machine Model:Canon IPF 8400S

Error Message:"Cannot recognize print head R.Open the top cover & reinsert the print head R"

Even when we return the old print head it is showing the same error.

Any chance to update the firmware,even if the printer is in error state.

Note:We are using canon Genuine print heads only.

Kindly go through the attachments for your reference.

Thanks of all your previous supports,especially for teckat.

Print heads not Recognized-------------this is all that's left.

Procedure when replacing Flex Cable
a) Replace the flex cable, with no print heads installed power up in service mode.
b) When the printer comes to a ready state then power down and power up in user mode still no print heads installed.
c) Wait until the printer asks for the print heads to install them.


In this case replacing the flex cable (QM3-7033-000) resolved the issue.
