Seiko 64S ink problem

dont mind the mess LOL -- this is an OCE CS6060 which I believe is the exact same unit

ok...

the pin that punctures the cartridge appears to be fine, as the cartridge is punctured.

next, i took off that front cover to have a look, and i couldn't see or feel anything in the magenta lines.

well, all I can think is the sensor that reads the cart chip may be a little off/loose, but I've never messed with it...

that was my next thought too. so i looked in the service manual and it has instructions to test the "ink sensor", but since i have the warning to change the ink cartridge, i can't get into the menu to test the sensors!! arghhhh

can you get that last one to work again, but dont run a cleaning, just straight to the service menu?

 

[LSSigns]

excellent idea, but it won't work. i think i may have blown my only chance with that when i put the new cartridge in.

Any resolution on this problem?

I ran into the same thing, except with Cyan. I did actually have a clogged line down by the small pumps. Replaced them with a new part (but the tubes are too short so they're kinked up a bit) and I'm still getting the same error.

I had the same issue. I just re started the printer and it just worked fine. Simple.
