    Posted by Dan Osterbery on 22 October 2012 at 08:01

    Good Morning,
    we did our Monday morning manual clean as per normal, but as we finished the screen was flashing and beeping for all four inks to be changed, and we cant seem to remove this? Can anyone help?

    thanks

    may be a cart sensor error i would remove and refit the carts carefully, unless you already have done that, switch it off completely and restart.

    last thing you want mon morn.

    Hi Dan,

    Have you managed to fix your issue yet?

    It could be that your black in is playing up, are you using 3rd party cartridges? Try changing the black if you have spare as a check, or simply cleaning the bottom of the cart- perhaps using an alcohol based cleaner to wipe the chip. The machine reads from the black first so make sure that all is well there as a starting point!

    Hope you manage to get sorted 😕

    Cheers Joe will try wiping the chips with alcohol and see if that works, I do have a spare black so can try that too. Will let you know.

    cheers
