just for your info i had an 8300 that had some of those codes and tried all sorts tricks and replaced lots of bits working from the head back to the controller. the only thing that fixed it was replace the controller which also happened to be the easiest bit to change. in future i might start with the controller even though the workflow doesn't indicate that, making sure the heads are not an early batch that had problems.

Hello, I have an ipf8300s and my printer is giving the error 03130031-2f52. I have made a youtube video to show what this printer is doing:

I can't get into service mode and the carriage seems to be locked up or unable to move. However, the other day, the carrier was able to move and functioned properly. The error code still popped up. I've gotten many responses from techs that would have me replace a dozen parts just to make sure the problem is solved. With my budget, I'd like to narrow this down as far as possible before investing any more time and money into this repair.

I can't update the firmware without getting into print mode. Below you suggested replacing the carriage relay PCB. My printer was not saying, "can't detect paper size" though.

Thank you for your time.

L Printer Tool
When a problem on the printer occurs and an error code is displayed, effectively disabling the printer, this service tool allows you to bypass the error and aid in troubleshooting. Under the above conditions the printer becomes disabled and cannot be flashed with firmware using the traditional methods. The L Printer
Tool allows you to “bypass” the error condition which allows you to update the printer with firmware. The L Printer Tool allows technicians to retrieve the Status Print and Print Inf. files electronically, providing information that may be necessary for troubleshooting purposes.

Error Codes 2618/2F44/2F48/2F49/2F50/2F51/2F52 (REVISED) 9-27-13
PROCEDURE FOR THE IPF8300 and IPF8300S;
Tech Tips:
To enter Service Mode; press LOAD & NAVIGATE while powering ON.
To enter Download Mode; press STOP & NAVIGATE while powering ON.

1. Remove side and top covers and defeat top cover interlock switch. This allows for examination of ink flow to print heads in step #7.
2. Turn printer ON in Download Mode and upgrade firmware.
3. Turn the printer OFF, remove both print heads and discard them away from the customer’s premises,
they MUST NOT be reused. DO NOT INSTALL NEW PRINT HEADS YET.
4. Replace the Carriage Relay PCB.
5. Turn the printer ON in Service Mode without the new print heads installed. When the display indicates ready, turn printer OFF. (Entering Service Mode will automatically clear any related
errors.)
6. Reboot the printer in user mode. When the carriage moves out to the center of the platen, Now install the new Print Heads and allow the printer to go through ink filling.
Observe and check that each ink line is being filled, else stop the printer and troubleshoot the inkflow problem with the syringe kit.
7. When printer is operational, re-install all covers and remove cover interlock switch cheats.
NOTE:
If the error code or error message still appears after this procedure has been followed, the Main Controller PCB should be replaced next.
• Turn off the printer when prompted and remove Print Heads.
• Turn the printer ON in Service Mode without the new print heads installed. When the display
indicates ready, turn printer OFF. (Entering Service Mode will automatically clear any related errors.)
• Reboot the printer in user mode. When the carriage moves out to the center of the platen, Now install the new Print Heads and allow the printer to go through ink filling.
• Check that the ink lines are being filled, else stop the printer and troubleshoot the ink-flow problem with the syringe kit.
• Check and ensure the firmware is at the latest version, if not, update it.
• When the printer is operational, re-install all covers and re-enable the top cover interlock switch.




1. For the iPF8300 series, replace the carriage relay PCB for the above mentioned error codes.

AND > If the iPF8300 is displaying a “can’t detect paper size” message, then the entire carriage assembly should be replaced.
