Hello
I got today a defekt Epson Stylus color 740 from a friend.
If you switch it on there is some noise and head moving (normal),
then the head goes to right in normal positionan the LED for no black ink is
on. If you press the paper feed button or the clean button for a few
seconds to put a new cartridge in the head goes left and the green power
on LED is flashing.
After putting the new cartridge in and close the clamp it happens nothing.
Red light is still on, head is not moving, even after pressing the clean
button. To get the head in normal position at right side you have
to switch out the printer. After switching on again green power on light
is on (not flashing) and red no black ink light is on.
I read that there is a micro switch in the tray, to tell the printer,
that there is a new full cartridge in the tray. But I could not find it,
only a cable with 3 wires at the front side and the left side of the
tray. Is it possible, that the switch is defekt or cemented with ink for
example and the printer does not knows that the clamp is closed?
If the clamp is closed is the switch on or off?
Can I repair this?
Or is it possible to cut the cable and shortcut manually the wires to
simulate a closed switch.
Is the cable for both micro switches (black and color cartridge)?
Are there some manuals or drawings to do such a repair?
(to get the tray out of the printer and to dissassemble it)
tschuess,
Otto
