I've attached a video of what's happening with the carriage during the https://www.lpscomputer.com/blogs/news/85333377-designjet-5500-print-head-path-error-2 startup procedure. Would you have any suggestions on what you think the problem would be? There are a number of things that can cause the print head path error. The brass screw on the tensioner assembly may not be totally disengaged. It needs to be completely unscrewed and hanging on its captive spring. The motor pulley may have debris remaining on it from the previous belt causing lumpy carriage movement If the carriage moves slightly and then the error occurs, the encoder strip is trapped behind the encoder sensor on the back of the carriage. If that is the case remove one of the end covers and move the carriage to that end so you can see the sensor and strip. Put the strip into the sensor. Defective encoder strip If you changed the carriage height (screw adjustment on the carriage) the carriage may be hitting something. Defective motor Broken tensioner or bad bearing on the tensioner pulley Also check that all the print head cleaners are completely seated down.

Hello. There are several possible causes for the "check print head path" error. The plotter scan axis motor has encountered unusual resistance while moving the carriage or the pulses from the encoder strip don't match the motion command given to the motor. The possible causes are: The carriage has hit the edge of the media and jammed, the carriage has hit a foreign object, the carriage motor has failed, the encoder strip is dirty, the encoder sensor is dirty or faulty, the ink tube system is not routed correctly and is catching on the frame, the belt is worn out and is missing teeth, the motor pulley is full of debris and is causing the carriage to move unevenly, a wrong cover screw (too long) is installed in the ink tube door and is hitting the carriage, the rails the carriage moves on are causing too much friction (usually from evaporated and dirty lubricants)... That's all I can think of at the moment. The most common cause by far a worn out belt. Check for debris under the belt that looks li
