Have a IPF755 that keeps dumping/replenishing the ink tanks into the maintenannce cartridge. Replaced the mainboard, carriage, purge unit and printhead.

I have followed the procedure for all items replaced including the new printhead procedure going into service mode to clear errors without printhead installed etc. Any would be appreciated.

Thanks

Check for air in the ink tubes. If no air then replace the head management sensor. Also make sure they are using the correct magenta ink. The 755 takes a unique magenta ink for some dumbass reason. I've seen people snip out the plastic tabs to make a PFI-102M ink cartridge fit but the 755 requires PFI-104M. Are you getting any error codes?

Yes the error on the control panel is E161-4050 but it not in the service manaual for some reason. And in service mode it just has a 038... to replace the ink cartridges nothing solid to go on.

Thanks!!

And the ink tubes do not have air, there is all ink.

Yeah there are only 2 E161 errors listed in the manual and both refer to the print head. So if you've already replaced the print head then I would consider the head management sensor, trailing cable, and/or carriage assy.

What are the odd's? I hit that same error yesterday after replacing a main board on a 755. Called Canon and they said it is related to the head management sensor. Then he asked me to print a nozzle test and as soon as I tried loading paper I got a 03130031-2F14 which is error writing to ASIC, replace main board. New main board purchased from Canon last week and it's bad out of the box. I had a feeling something like that might happen as the new board had that burnt electronics smell to it when I opened it up.

Also if you are using non OEM inks you can get this error.
