Solutions

Diagnóstico rápido

The error B200 causes the machine to freeze immediately upon startup. This indicates the printer’s logic has detected a surge in the printhead circuitry.

Solución paso a paso

  1. Unplug the device entirely for 30 minutes.
  2. Remove the printhead and clean all connections.
  3. Attempt a restart without any ink cartridges.
  4. Reinsert cartridges one by one to check if a single bad cartridge is causing the short.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Always maintain proper ink levels. Operating the device with empty ink tanks can lead to the overheating of the electrical firing pins, eventually triggering this error.

Cuándo llamar a un técnico

If the error appears immediately every time you power on the device, the hardware damage is likely permanent.
