my 5.5-yr old Z3200 is printing perfectly. i wanted to calibrate/profile some new media i had bought. but when i started calibrating/profiling new media, the process would fail and gave the scanning failed error after printing the calibration sheet.
the ESP diagnostic test failed with the 58:10 error. i went through all the information that is available on the net regarding this issue and did what ever was suggested: clean printheads, realign printheads, update to latest version of firmware, etc. all the test prints look fine, though some of the printheads are out of warranty. i also dismantled the machine as instructed in the service manual and on various forums on the net and cleaned the ESP unit. but still the same problem.
then i noticed that my ESP unit looked a bit different from the bottom as compared to all the images available on the net. it has a little mirror at the bottom on the outside of the shutter (image attached). it looked a bit dirty so i cleaned it. but still no success. then i thought maybe it is supposed to be covered and some covering must have fallen off. so i put a tape on it. the ESP test passed and i was able to profile new media. but after two successful profiling the problem started again and i am not able to calibrate/profile any new media.
any help to resolve the issue will be highly appriciated.
cheers. sanjay.
