Cómo destapar un cabezal de impresión Epson ET-2760

Dificultad

30 - 45 minutos

Introducción

Si tu impresora Epson ET-2760 no imprime líneas completas y tiene problemas para imprimir una imagen a todo color, utiliza este procedimiento para desatascar manualmente el cabezal de impresión.

El cabezal de impresión suministra y transfiere la tinta al papel en la forma correcta para cualquier cosa que se esté imprimiendo, así que antes de comenzar, realiza una limpieza del cabezal o una limpieza a fondo para asegurarse de que el problema deba solucionarse manualmente. Desde aquí, se puede iniciar la guía siguiendo los pasos a continuación.

Todos los pasos siguientes son fáciles de realizar y no requieren conocimientos previos. Sin embargo, existe la posibilidad de que la tinta te manche las manos y la ropa, ¡así que no uses tu camisa favorita!

Herramientas

Paso 1

Comienza una impresión de cualquier tipo o una prueba de inyectores.
Una vez que hayas comenzado la impresión, extrae el cable de alimentación a mitad de la impresión.

Paso 2

Abre la impresora, luego extrae el papel medio impreso a través de la ranura.
Coloca una toalla de papel gruesa o un trapo debajo del cabezal de impresión.

Place a thick paper towel or rag under the printhead?

Assuming the printhead is now freely moveable at this point, DO we first push it to the rightmost docking position THEN place a paper towel? or to the leftmost position as picture indicates?

If you pulled the power cord mid-print, the printhead should move fairly freely. DO NOT FORCE IT.

Place a paper towel under the printhead and slide one edge of the paper towel to an outer edge of the printhead. As you progress through this, you will want to move the printhead to a cleaner part of the paper towel.

Porqué se introduce un papel y se desconecta a mitad de la impresión y luego se casa completo?

Paso 3

Retira el único tornillo con un destornillador Phillips #0.
Suelta los dos clips de plástico blancos.
Levanta la cubierta superior del cabezal de impresión.

You also have to unclip that long clear plastic peace of the side. Note were it will need to be reclipped in. It will hang there to the left while you work.

Paso 4

Desengancha los cuatro cartuchos de tinta del cabezal de impresión tirando de las pequeñas pestañas en la parte superior de los cartuchos.
Asegúrate de no desconectar las líneas de tinta de los cartuchos. Simplemente coloca los cartuchos conectados al costado del cabezal de impresión.

Paso 5

Llena una jeringa con solución de limpieza de cabezales de impresión y coloca la punta de la jeringa sobre los orificios que dejaron los cartuchos.

Use the little hose that comes with your printhead cleaning solution.

Paso 6

Comienza a enjuagar la cantidad de solución recomendada por el fabricante a través de cada orificio sobre la toalla de papel.
Si es necesario, cambia la toalla de papel entre lavados para evitar que entre solución en la impresora.

Pull the cleaning solution into the syringe thru the tube. Place other end of the tube securely over the print head.

Donna Hinkley -

where can we get the cleaning solution? (brand name) as well as what size tube?

Paso 7

Retira la toalla de papel de debajo del cabezal de impresión.

Takes about 1/2 paper towel per color. Each color took about 3 mil to flush.

Donna Hinkley -

Paso 8

Vuelve a colocar cada cartucho de tinta en sus posiciones originales.
Vuelve a colocar los dos clips de la cubierta del cabezal de impresión en el cabezal de impresión.
Vuelve a colocar el único tornillo en su lugar con un destornillador Phillips n.º 0.

Reclipping everything is the hardest part. Be super careful reattaching screw. The holding is fragile.

Paso 9

Realiza una limpieza automática para asegurarte de eliminar cualquier residuo de tinta.

Thank you for your time and efforts

Le he dado 3 head cleaning y la misma cantidad de nozzle check y no ha imprimido nada, segui cada paso según la explicación, es que tengo que esperar algún tiempo luego de la limpieza de los cabezales con el Printhead cleaning kit?

Simple but to the point tutorial that detailed every step including the tools and supplies needed. Photos helped tremendously too. Thank you.

Mark DiRollo -

Where do I find out the "manufacturer's recommended amount of solution" per flush?

Stelios Makrinos -

Usually it's 5ml

Casper Hon -

But it seems that ink isn't even getting to my yellow and blue heads. At least, the test print shows no yellow or blue at all.

How can I get at the exit (valves?) on the ink storage tanks to make sure they're clear -- without breaking the printer?

Thanks!

warble58 -

Me too! No yellow or blue coming through.

I sent a colored page to the printer, it gave me all shades of blue, no yellow, black or magenta. A nozzle check, and print head cleaning gave me black & yellow, 5 days later I have black, yellow & magenta. No blue. IF I get power back tomorrow I’ll be manually cleaning the print head.

Same problem with no Yellow or Blue; cleaning did no help. POWER CLEANING once did the trick.. Thank you for the instructions especially the pictures. Printer was just out of warranty (one year warranty) and only a little over 500 printed sheets when it suddenly failed. Must remember to run a full color print at least once a week ro keep from drying out the heads as I was doing mostly B&W. Ken

The most important thing to know is what ID dia in inches is required for the hose?

Jami FIT -

No yellow or blue, I’ve flushed the print heads twice. Any suggestions appreciated

Sandra Jo Stevenson (Sandy) -

I did this and then printed out the test sheet a couple times..... Then my printer completely shut down and now won't come back online..... Tried a new power cord.... Nothing. Help!

Cindy Rotermund -

I did the same thing, did yours ever turn back on?

Whitney Sheridan -

Great pictures and general description. I did add some notes to make it easier for future users. I did flush my magenta twice, as that was the clogged color. After back together, I did a pin head test, followed by a pin head clean, then another test and it looks great!

Donna Hinkley -

The guide is great but it seems likely that the author hasn't actually identified a problem with the yellow.

Looking at the pictures it seems there's very little ink in the ink buffer (the white block that replace the cartridges and feed the printhead). Each of those needs to be at least half full with ink otherwise the printhead is likely to be receiving air instead of ink and producing results that look like a clog when the reality is that the buffers aren't primed properly with enough ink to delivery it.

For reference look at the picture in Step 4 and note the difference in buffer ink levels between the black and the yellow. The black is about right, the yellow is almost empty.

Hope that helps for some of you who are reporting that you aren't getting ink through.

Martin Smallridge -

How do you resolve the problem of not enough ink in the ink buffer? Does that mean there's some kind of clog in the line?
