You removed the tape on the cartridge of course before fitting it into the
printer.

Before you do anything, give Art a email, stating model and the fault,
ask him for his cleaning manual, he will gladly oblige and you will
find it's free of charge.

His Email is e-printerhelp@mvps.org you will find his posts
throughout these pages.

There is no tape on the cartridge to the CX 5400.

It is reported a relative high percentage of the cleaning pump failure of
this series printers. I assume the pump isn't working correct.

Is it an actual failure of the purge/cleaning pump, or the fact that the
hose to the cleaning station from the cleaning pump becomes detached
that is being reported?

In my opinion it could happened both.
If I remember correct you sent an image (hose loose from the pad). A user
could repair this failure easy, so sending it here it could be help Jeff.

Basically I have the same problem. How was yours resolved. I am going
through he cleaning process and I did reconnect the small
supply tube...I now qualify as a heart surgeon. It was not easy
reconnecting the tube without taking the printer apart.

My advice:
If you have a digital camera, take regular pictures as you take the orinter
apart.
I found it useful to remember what went where.

I did use a pdf document I found on the web useful, which showed the
exploded diagram of the printer.

If I find the link, I'll post it.
