Service Manual Canon BJC 8500

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Hi Board,

I have an old Canon BJC 8500 which causes trouble.

The printer is set up correctly, all inks are filled with original
inks, and I have put in new Print Heads.

When I turn on the printer it starts up as usual, but at the end it
starts beeping three times and the error light on the printer stays on.
The Manual says that this is caused by empty or missing ink. But as
mentioned, i have replaced the ink cartridges already.

When I open the printer cover the head moves and it beeps 6 times,
which sounds like a sensor problem to me.

Does anybody have an idea what to do or how to clean the sensors? Which
should be cleaned? Where are they? Or does anybody have the Service
Manual?

Thanks in Advance!

Alex
