Epson LQ1600III dot matrix printer, why can t I print after changing the ribbon?

No power or abnormal noise?

The machine needs to be re-commissioned. You get a maintenance worker.

1. Turn off the power first, then turn on the printer panel, pinch the buckles on both sides of the ribbon rack, and take the ribbon rack outward.

2. Then we gently pry open the shell of the ribbon rack along the thin seam of the ribbon rack, do not pry hard, otherwise the shell or even the ribbon will be damaged.

3. After removing the shell, pinch the gear card marked in the figure with your hand, remove the old ribbon, pay attention to the position in the lower left corner, there is a metal shrapnel, pinch it with your hand and then take the ribbon.

4. Then we take out the prepared new ribbon, the new ribbon will be packed in a small box, we directly open the ribbon shell, and buckle the ribbon upside down in the ribbon rack, at this time, we should be careful not to mess up the new ribbon! When installing the new ribbon, pay attention to the gear and the shrapnel in the lower left corner.

5. Wait until the ribbon is filled, then cover the ribbon rack lid, and note that the lid and the rack box have corresponding slot seats. Once the lid is closed, pinch the seat marked on the way with your hand and rotate it counterclockwise for a few weeks to tighten the ribbon!

6. Now put the ribbon holder back into the printer, and also align the card slot seat and the ribbon and print head seat. After putting it back on, turn it on. Then we print a test page, and if we see the printed effect and the new machine is in good condition, the replacement is successful!

What model?

What do you mean by this phenomenon "card" is card? Paper stuck? Or is the ribbon stuck?

The paper is stuck, that is not going to get in? It may be that there is a foreign object under the print head, remove the print head and clean it; Or the spacing adjustment is too low, and the spacing is appropriately increased.

If the ribbon is stuck, it may be a broken needle! Or if there is a problem with the color drive, please indicate your machine model.
