First of all - check the head type in your carriage. Each head should have a label with the model. CA4 is an old model - it's a single head. CE2 head is a combo - two CA4 glued together. Different versions of CE2 have different ink/vacuum inlets, so you need to buy the same you have inside your...

I see some words are too difficult for you, like 'irony' or 'sarcasm'. And of course 'forum rules'.

For sure this client waits since 2011 for you to have the printer repaired... First thing when you try to repair anything - THINK.

Toshibatec heads just look similar, but they have differences - it's not always possible to swap them. And of course, if you reinstall the holder from the old head, don't be surprised when you won't have the perfect calibration.

The main part replaced after a year in this machine is an ink tube in the pump. Maybe the air filter in the box, where the ink pumps are located, but it depends how dirty it is (remember that if you replace this filter, you need to check/calibrate the pressures in the ink system, especially...

Tubes for ink pumps are assembled for this specific printer (and there were changes within last years), so it may be difficult to find them somewhere else than Fujifilm (by the way, why you don't want to buy parts from them?). Which filters do you mean? Air filters in the carriage (above the...

What kind of the parts? Some of them may be pretty standard, but some others are designed for this machine and may be difficult to find...

Arizona 550 requires an installation of shims, when the heads are replaced. Also one of the calibration steps is a density balance calibrations - was it done?

I would relay on the version given by firmware, not by bulletin - sometimes newer versions of the firmware have changes, which are a result of issues/problems reported by customers. So if the firmware says 'long flush' and you can't cancel the conversion wizard or the firmware doesn't recognize...

How full is the hard drive? Try to check it with any HDD diagnostic software (like Hiren's BootCD, it contains a few good tools), maybe there are some bad sectors. Did you notice, that the machine (system) was slower than previously? Any red LED diodes are on when you look at the main boards...

I guess that another restart doesn't change anything? Playing with drivers is no so easy, as the Windows is an Embedded version, so many features are removed and it's difficult to find, what is required and missing by purpose. To enter the service mode the SDS key is required (physical service...

Could you create the log from the machine and make it available for download here? It's possible that some hints will be hidden there, I could check it. And yes, gantry encoder readers are facing two sides, it's normal.

That's pretty normal - both ends of the gantry may move separately, that's what the gantry initialization do - moves to the end and makes the gantry straight. In XT machines manual moves of the gantry should be done by two persons (one at each end) or from the middle of the gantry to keep the...

First of all - does the ink drips from one W head or both? If from both, the problem is located somewhere above heads, but under the vacuum valve from the W channel. If from one head only, search for a reason under the ink reservoir, it must be somewhere there. Degas module removes the air...

But the manual says also, that when you use the flush for cleaning, then you have to use dry swabs to remove the flush from certain places around the nozzle plates. Flush may damage the internal gasket in the head.

Are you sure, that your CMYK print is free of LcLm? Usually, it isn't - even in 100% C solid profile adds a few percents of Lc. You may check it in the RIP software, how the colour curve looks like (at least Caldera shows this information). Of course, it's possible that with such saturation...

Again - check the head alignment. All print alignments (BiDir, SiDir and ReDir) are electronic calibrations, which doesn't move the heads physically. If your head is in the wrong place, you need to correct the position first, then align the drop placement (and this is done by print alignments)...

First of all - if you have mechanical misalignment, you should use 'head adjustment', not 'print adjustment'. Head adjustment moves the head physically, print adjustment changes the parameters of the firing. SiDir is just one direction to calibrate, very often ReDir also requires changes, but...

If you have the firmware version 2.20 or higher, it's in the maintenance section of the printer firmware. Just enter it and scroll down/up. You may perform it for specific channels only (similar to purge).

Removing the white bags daily may cause the damage of the ink pouch ports, they are not intended to be used this way (even maintenance procedures were changed due to this). Move the ink in the pouch without removing it on a daily basis (this is what the procedure says), remove the pouch only...
