Re: Is my 2200 dead?

2007-10-28 by danielstaver

I recently modified my aging 2100 to use an external waste tank. After
I put the thing back together absolutely nothing would print. Turns
out the vacuum pump tube had been disconnected and this produced the
exact symptoms you describe - Completely blank nozzle checks.

You have to unscrew several components of the printer to get to the
vacuum pump, takes about half an hour with a screwdriver and a service
manual.

A clogged vacuum pump tube can produce the same symptoms. While the
printer is open you might want to take out both of the tubes from the
vacuum pump assembly and make sure they're clean.
