Default load and error light on startup

Hi.
I don't know if this was asked before but i have a problem with my t-jet 3.
I don't have any experience with it, but when turn it on it starts to load and when it's almost done the error and load lights starts to blinking intensively.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

You would need to provide more exact information on when this is happening. One possibility: If you have the original US Screen bulk ink system installed, instead of our EZ PRO bulk ink system, the hose chain could be causing the print head carriage assembly to bind. This would cause the lights you see. To check it first shut off the printer. Detach the hose chain from the print head assembly so that it cannot interfere with the travel. Turn the printer back on. If it moves back and forth without an issue then you have found your problem.

It would be important to note exactly what is the printer doing or trying to do when the lights start to flash and what exact lights are flashing and how fast. The speed or frequency that the lights flash and what lights are flashing. Another thing that we could do to isolate the problem or give a direction is to find out exactly what the error code is. Do you happen to have a copy of the epson adjustment program for the 1800 printer. If you do you can open it and go to the read printer information section and it will tell you what the error is. If you do not have the program send me a message and I can send it to you.

Thank you guys.
I did what Henry suggested and the lights changed.
Right now the LOAD light blinks but not as fast as before and the ERROR light stays solid.I want to tell you that i replaced the ink assembly and the head a week ago and i don't know if the machine was working properly before. (I bought it couple moths ago from e-bay and now i bought software which was used with t-jet2. I was told that it should work OK with t-jet3).I'll try to post pics tomorrow to show were the bed stops.
Thanks.

If you replaced the print head you should check to see that the print head ribbon cables are securely connected and there are no burn marks at the connection points. The FastArtist/FastRIP software for the T-Jet 2 will work for the T-Jet 3. Make sure you received the security dongle for the software in order to be able to use it.
