  4. Clean the copper contacts on the printer and the print head with isopropyl alcohol.
  5. Turn on the printer without the print head installed. 
  6. Wait for the printer to start up - approximately 1 minute.
  7. Reinsert the print head.
  8. Close and Open the front cover several times and watch the status monitor between each closing and opening.

If the problem persists, it could be a worn out print head or a problem with the printer.
