Print head drives left

Epson BX305FW Plus. The print head drives full left on power up, and then tries to drive some more with a slipping belt (big noise). Power off - move print head to right and power on gives the same issue. The panel indicates a paper jam but there is not, and all mechanisms are free and seem to be undamaged. Fix or bin? The printer has so far consumed less than one paper pack in total, so it's not worn out!!

SOURCE: initialize printer

I have had this problem on numerous times over the last five years. The way i have cleared it is to remove the plastic cover covering the buttons by gently lifting with a small screwdriver. Then tug at the buttons especially the scanner button to release it as it sometimes seems to gets caught. I also turn off the machine at this point from the power source for about 10-15 mins restarting after this time this generally clears the jam. I have also on the odd occassion uninstalled the software and reinstalled it, mind you it has taken a day on one occassion to clear the jam.

SOURCE: canon iP 3300 printer service error 6502

CANON PIXMA IX IP 4000 - error 5100 and error 6502

While testing the printer the cover must be closed!
So if you have a CISS in your printer you have to close the cover after replacinq cartridge because after that
replacinq the printer is testinq the cartridges also with the blinkinq LEDS which are installed on the ink's!
There is a light LED sensor under the cover which detects the blinking.
So if you have destroyed the LED on chips or if you covered them with glue OR if you will leave the cover opened
and press cover-open detection button with a pen (then the day ambient light will come inside to cover)
you will get an error 6502 or error 5100. I think that the same error will come with all printers which use
CLI8 CLI-8 cartridges.
Remebre that the blinking led have to be clean and blink after installing new cartidge.

Other reason is that you mixed the chips ang give i.e. chip from yellow to blue and blue to i.e.red. and black to yello etc etc. (YOU MIXED THEM :) )
I hope it will help

SOURCE: Head won't move far enough to the left to get cartridges out

seems a case of carriage jam n needs servicing..
howevr, do it if ur printer is out of warranty and u r a professional..
check for loose/faulty carriage-belt and the drive-assembly..jammed/sticky cleanser-unit (esp the rubber, gears n base)..
also chance of defective/faulty photo/opto-coupler 'sensor(s)'..the diodes and resistors in dis section..
always better to hv professional supervision, contact ur system admin/vendor....

SOURCE: Epson R320 "General Error" message - unable to clear

If you are getting a 'carriage jam' error as soon as you turn on your Epson printer with no tasks in progress, then check for any piece of paper stuck in the carriage. Remove the paper carefully. If the paper tears, part of it might remain inside the paper path and damage the product.

Fix 'Carriage Jam' : Open Door, clear carriage jam,
and then press OK to continue' error message
Turn off the printer and open it to see where the paper is stuck.
Manually move the carriage toward the opposite side.
Check the paper path and remove any piece of paper or any other object that is stuck in the path.
Reconnect the power cord and turn on the printer.

Canon Pixma Pro9000 won't transport the print head carrier. You can slide it freely by hand from one end of the case to the other. It does seem to lift and lower by itself. When you turn the printer on,...

Check the print head drive belt. It should go around a drive pulley on one side of the printer and a spring-loaded tension pulley on the other side. Verify that the tension pulley is keeping the belt from slipping. Also, if you can see the drive pulley with the cover closed ( you may need to shine a light on it), watch to see if it is turning during a print cycle.

The printer made a big clunk noise and now does not print in color or black and white

More than likely the belt on the print head has come loose. This can be because the belt slipped or because the pulley that drives the belt is broken.

This part is located directly behind the print head and will look like a tiny wheel.

My Generation 3 Kirby Vacuum is giving off a burnt rubber smell when I vacuum. I have tried to raise the height of the head but it still happens. Can you tell me what could be causing rubber to burn? ...

The belt driving the brush roller in the power head is slipping. It is really just a big thick rubber band. Where it wears out it slips and burns due to friction.

Look at the bottom of the power head. There is a cover plate held with 2 to 4 screws. Remove the plate and you will see the roller and drive belt. Slip the roller out and remove the belt.

Go to your local vacuum dealer and get a replacement.

Installation is the reverse of removal.

Epson lq 2090 matrix printer

This may be a mechanical problem- perhaps the belt which pulls the printhead back and forth is slipping a cog tooth in the drive mechanism. Check this belt for proper tension, and that the cogs are in good condition.

There is also a home sensor located at the left-hand side of the printhead movement area which sets the home position of the head, and from this, the start of printing is determined. If this home position sensor is defective, this will cause problems. One certain Epsons, this sensor was a switch, and this would become erratic.

These are possibilities to check...

Epson 1200

Try cleaning and putting a small quantity of oil the shiny metal bar that the print heads slide along. Take care not to get any oil on the rubber drive belt. Any thin oil for sewing machines or bicycles will do, even WD-40 or 3-in-1 on a tissue is fine. This is probably too late for the questioner, but someone may find it useful.
