IC Check Slot 1 Error

I initialized the application and it started working. I still don't have black and cyan back but I think I'm done for tonight anyway.

I want to add, I ordered the Printhead from DigiPrint. It came without a ranking so now I'm waiting for a phone call back to get it working.

OK Digiprint have a track record of selling bad heads, and they refuse to accept them back for returns. What you can do is swap the new head with the yellow/magenta one. If it then prints you know the head is ok, if it doesn't then the it could be a bad head.

Great! I hope that is not the case. I'm already not happy that there is not Ranking number included. I have 2 new caps coming and I don't want to take it apart again until i get those. I will swap the cap out again and if that doesn't do it, i will switch the print heads around.

I wouldn't worry too much about there not be a heading rank number. The head will still work fine without updating it, but it should have one if it came from them. They seem to be getting second quality heads from somewhere and selling them as perfect.

If using syringe you don't see any ink in it then more likely cap top not attaching properly to a head. If you already replaced head I will recommend pull out carriage across the print table and carefully look if head seating parallel to a table. If it is on angle then there is your problem. If you have good inkflow then it could be some issue with electronics. (head cables, blown fuse on main board or damaged transistor or Epson drivers on the main board)

not to be devil's advocate, but, no one ever was unable to print properly because of the lack of a head rank number.
you might not be able to use your existing profiles and color match a previous job perfectly, but, to tell you the truth when we put the new head in my mutoh, neither of us bothered to record the head rank. it truly was not worth the effort to take it apart and recover the head rank number.

I have fitted DX4 heads plenty of times without updating the head rank and have never had a problem or seen a difference in colours or print quality. I really think any difference it makes ( if any! ) is so tiny nobody would notice
