Question:

Thank you for contacting us regarding your Epson XP-15000 issue. We sincerely apologize for not responding sooner. We understand the critical printer issues and would like to provide a thoughtful and detailed response. At BCH Technologies, we deeply value your engagement and support, particularly with our YouTube channel, BCH Technologies on YouTube [https://youtube.com/@bchtechnologies]. Your feedback is vital to enhancing our technical expertise and the resources we provide.Now, let’s investigate your issue with error code 031006. This error typically indicates a hardware failure, often linked to internal flooding or a short circuit, which may indeed cause a fuse to blow on the mainboard. In DTF printers, particularly converted models like your Epson XP-15000, flooding often occurs due to improper maintenance or an overfilled ink reservoir. This can damage components on the mainboard or nearby circuits.
Here are some steps to address this problem:
-
Check for Physical Flooding:
Open the printer and inspect for any visible signs of ink flooding around the print head, carriage assembly, or mainboard. Clean any excess ink using a lint-free cloth and an appropriate solvent cleaner. -
Inspect the Mainboard Fuse:
If flooding occurred, the fuse on the mainboard may have blown. You can use a multimeter to test the fuse for continuity. If the fuse is damaged, replacing it might restore functionality. However, I need to ensure that no other components have been compromised. -
Evaluate the Print Head:
The print head might also be damaged in a flooded system. While the mainboard is more likely the culprit for error 031006, you should inspect the print head for clogs or electrical issues. -
Prevent Future Flooding:
Ensure your DTF conversion setup is appropriately calibrated. Use high-quality inks and regularly clean the ink reservoir system to avoid blockages or overflow.
