IPF8300 2F42 Nozzle Check Error

Re: IPF8300 2F42 Nozzle Check Error

I've found this document http://www.copytechnet.com/forums/at...rvice-part-pdf

and I'm wondering if those cap absorbers can be the cause of my missing block. I'm so confused...

those pads absorb the excess ink... they become clogged and crusty is left too long.

so YES they can...

and the PH caps ( where it meshes with PH in parked position), if they become crusty or compromised can also lead to problems.

Soak the pads in Simple Green cleaner (non-toxic) they blot with paper towels..
also clean the parking caps with it.

fold paper towel to fit channel where PH rides.. wet with Simple Green

move the PH over the pad and leave for a while ( up to 1hr for bad clogs)

remove towel and preform cleaning process on heads.

this has worked on: Canon - Epson - Brother - HP inkjets printer for me ...
been using this process for quite a few years...

Good Luck

thanks for the tip. I will try it today and come back with results.

I'm wondering if a cleaning with ultrasounds machine is a good idea ��

I cleaned all the caps and printhead but unfortunately I have same problem, doing head cleaning A is returning 2f42, from nozzle check print is missing one block and few lines.
I need to find a way which one is broken, the printhead or main PCB.

Problem is solved now after I've sent the mainboard to a specialised centre to fix it.
Thank you for all info.
