Well i'm not going to give up on this.. i never give up on anything. It has never failed me.. so far
..
The ink is no problem, i know how to get it cheaply.
Print-heads do cost a lot to start replasing them before i know that that is exactly what i need to do. I would also need to know witch print head to relapse, as it's not possible that both are failing.
I actually do not think these machines are so complicated, the more i learn about them.. the simpler they seem. But it would be nice ones in a while, to not to have to learn everything about a machine i use.
But if there is anyone less pessimistic, i have now 3 errors i get regularly on 2 different occasions:
When i do a nozzle check, i get :
03800500-2F40 "The non-discharge of all colors and chips (A/B, EVEN/ODD) and nozzles is detected."
or
03800500-2F30 "Head management sensor position adjustment error."
These come in the end phase of the nozzle check.
When i try to print, i get :
03130031-2f49 (I can't find this in the ipf8300 service manual. Might be something related to magenta ink tank, or replace the left side print head.)
This comes almost instantly.
The left side print head problem might go whit what i have seen, as when i look at the machine trying to do the nozzle check.. it seems to only try the left side print head.
Question is, what would happen if i switch the printheads? This way i could be sure that it's the printhead.. as it should give me a different error (2f49 Left Head or 2f50 Right Head). But will there be some irreversible damage when the inks get mixed up?
