🔧 Troubleshooting & Installation Precautions
Please read carefully before purchasing or installing a new printhead. Proper handling can prevent damage to your printer and extend the life of your printhead.
❗ 1. Red Light Flashing When Powering On
This does not necessarily mean the printhead is faulty.
➡ The issue may come from the printer frame or mainboard.
✅ Please fix any error codes or system issues before replacing the printhead.
❗ 2. Printer Does Not Detect Cartridges
This is often due to a blown fuse on the mainboard.
🔧 Solution: Replace the mainboard or its fuse.
🔍 3. Check the Data Cable
Before installation, check if the data cable is:
🔥 Burned
⚡ Corroded
🚫 Loosely connected
A damaged or unstable cable can burn the printhead and the mainboard.
✅ Please ensure your cable is in perfect condition before proceeding.

NOTICE:
If you print a test page and notice some lines are missing, don't worry. This could be due to air entering the print head pipe during transportation, or there might be air trapped in the ink cartridges or the Continuous Ink System (CIS).
If you're using a CIS (Continuous Ink System), please ensure it's positioned higher than the printer by at least 2cm. You may observe ink leaking into the ink cartridges, followed by the print head entering standby mode. After 2 minutes, adjust the CIS to the same level as the printer, attempt to clean the print head, and you should see an improvement in the test page with some lines appearing. If you require high-quality printing immediately, continue cleaning. If the printing quality is acceptable, keep the printer powered on and in standby mode. After 24 hours, the quality should improve. As you continue printing, the quality will gradually improve even further.
If you're using ink cartridges, please power on the printer and keep it in standby mode. After 24 hours, try executing the print head cleaning function. Standby for 30 minutes, clean the print head, standby for another 30 minutes, clean the print head again, and repeat this process. You'll notice the printing quality improving with each cycle.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to message me.
