Of course after replacing a head, replacing a fuse, I get all the colors back up and running, do the best I can to align everything - test prints look good. Go to print and there is fuzzy overspray. Knowing I had a little bit of a problem with reading the registration marks I have ordered a new...

Huge thank you to Jim! You got me up and running again and it was very nice meeting you in person. Can't thank you enough! Pet the dog for me! Chris

of course they were out of the cheapies - thats just my luck but i'm sure we will have alot of use for this anyways since this house we moved into has some weird electrical problems in certain areas. So, that being said, do I dare do this? I have never used a multimeter, don't know how to read...

Thank you so much!

I just texted my son at work to see if he has one here, if not I will have to take a ride to get one from my father. (a multimeter as I read above)

I ordered two of these and two head cables - hopefully they are the correct ones. Out for delivery at the moment, haven't received them yet.

the picture on the right is what I did - moved in pairs, does that mean I still need to check the output transistor?

correction, I criss crossed the cables

yes, I swapped all the cables and the yellow/magenta came back but yes the black/cyan dropped out

Since I am waiting on a delivery today of the fuse (I also ordered the cables that go to the head) I decided to try to swap the head cables to see if it would print the dropped out magenta/yellow and it did. Would that test make it safe to say the fuse has not blown and it just needs new head...

lol - yeah, I read something about some kind of tester, was just wondering if you could tell by looking at it. Also looking for other reasons why the color dropped out to check if its not the fuse. either way i have a fuse coming.

with the yellow/magenta dropping out after me stupidly trying to realign the heads in service mode without shutting it off, and reading that it has probably blown a F3 fuse, is there a way to tell if it is blown by looking at it? If this is it then it doesn't look bad to me but I never seen a...

yeah, that was my problem, I had it on in service mode and started screwing with it without unplugging it - that's why I'm pretty sure I blew the fuse. I ordered one but hearing something about soldering it is starting to worry me. guess I'll figure it out when it comes in tomorrow. I did use...

Thank you, I actually found that originally and thats how I alligned (well tried to) everything after I installed the new print head. My hex (which I swear isn't a hex but just a screw - a hex doesn't work but that middle screw works in it - will not back off, it will only go straight) so I took...

so that last line - the left hand head is fixed, and that's the one I changed, so I should do this to the head on the right then, the one I didn't change? And if I adjust that left screw that is suppose to be a hex then the top and bottom of the print test should align straight? Other then...

from what I read there is suppose to be a possible hex that could adjust this other than the screw but if you notice the screw doesn't touch anything all way screwed in and the screws on the left are the ones that I think are suppose to be hex because all you can do is take that other screw and...

how do I do that? I tried with those screws but as you can see the first print and the second print there is no difference yet all the feed and scan adjustments I did seem fine

Any easy fix to this or is this close enough? Installed new printhead but I notice the test print is a tad bit off. I saw where you can use those two screws under where it sits to adjust it but on mine, the screws don't reach in the middle hole and you can only tighten to the right on the left...

nevermind, every time I post on here after struggling hours to figure it out myself, a minute later something pops up and I figure out a fix - lol - somehow in the maintenance mode it had the ink set on unknown. Once I changed that to eco max and restarted the machine it stopped trying to fill...

I installed a new printhead on my sp 300, this is the second time I have done a printhead install on my own. I couldn't find the old video I used for the first one but found another that walked me through it. Problem is, after restarting - it wants to do this fill ink thing that is wasting all...
