Question:
I’m using a DTF Pro Fusion Model J printer, and I’ve encountered an issue where the white light keeps blinking. Can you help me understand what’s happening and how to fix it?
 
Answer:
Thank you for contacting us, and I’m sorry for the delayed response. I understand how concerning printer issues can be, and I’ve taken the time to provide you with as much detail as possible to address your problem. BCH Technologies appreciates your engagement and support, particularly on our YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/@bchtechnologies). Your feedback is invaluable and helps us refine our expertise to better assist customers like you.
Let’s address the blinking light issue on your DTF Pro Fusion Model J printer:

Understanding the Blinking Light Patterns

  1. Lights Blinking Alternately:
    If the white light and other indicators are blinking alternately, it’s often a sign that the printer’s ink pad needs to be reset. This happens when the printer’s internal counter determines that the ink pad is complete, even if it’s not saturated. Resetting the ink pad counter typically requires a specific tool or software provided by the manufacturer.
  2. Lights Blinking Simultaneously:
    When all lights blink together, it indicates a more serious error, commonly called a “fatal error.” In such cases, you must use an “Adjustment Program” to read the error code and determine the specific issue. The Adjustment Program is a diagnostic tool that helps identify and address complex printer errors.
  3. Ink Light Blinking:
    If the ink light is blinking, try pressing the ink light button. When you do this, the printer carriage should move to the centre. Continue pressing the button a few times (at least seven) to see if the issue resolves itself. If the blinking persists, restart the printer after pressing the button multiple times. This action often resets the error and allows the printer to function normally.

Additional Scenarios

Several other scenarios might involve blinking lights, and it’s challenging to cover all possibilities in a single guide. Consulting the printer’s manual or the manufacturer’s support resources may be necessary for less common issues.
Additional Guidance:
Addressing printer issues can be a complicated affair due to the hands-on nature of the problems. So, we cannot provide remote troubleshooting, suggestions, or support for printer repairs. We offer an in-person evaluation and repair service via our local diagnostic facility (BCH Technologies Printer Repair Service) (https://bchtechnologies.com/printer-repair-service). Given the high demand, we operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Getting your printer to drop off may take a few weeks. Our services are structured to repair a whole printer or specific parts, with clear instructions on how to proceed. However, we acknowledge that our rates aren’t the most economical. Thus, we highly recommend that you resort to self-help via online research. You can start by checking out YouTube or visiting our YouTube channel’s homepage (https://youtube.com/@bchtechnologies). Look for specific videos using the search icon next to “About” on the right-hand side of the menu bar. I receive dozens of queries every day asking about videos for specific topics. Having created videos over the past nine years, it’s challenging to remember every single one. Therefore, using YouTube’s search function would be most efficient. Plus, YouTube might suggest relevant videos from other channels that could assist you.
