Check for obstruction/missing gears within gear assembly. Specifically the gear just under
the spit tray's curved top, there is no retaining ring on this gear, and has come off
several times during teardown of the printer.
Pump motor not plugged in.
Pump motor sensor must be in home position; the sensor must not be triggered.
Observe position of break in wheel. Turn clockwise to get wiper in home position,
then move break in front of sensor. Mark gear where this is, as you will move
gear when installing so you can return it to correct position.
Make sure the sensor on the opposite side of the carriage is plugged in.
Also tightening the belt tension made this error go away

Can anyone elaborate a bit more on these? Or does anyone know where a diagram of each of these parts can be found?
Adam, it requires a lot of pulling the machine apart and cleaning different parts. We found out that ink was getting into different parts because we were not performing the required maintenance often enough. (ink was dripping down from the squeegee because the drain clogged on it)
If you are not comfortable taking the printer apart and putting it back together, then it would be best to hire a repair guy. It will probably cost you about $500 (That was the quote we got)
I did it myself and there were a couple of times when I was looking at the parts on my table, layed out on kraft paper, meticulously labeled, but I was saying "Oh my god, what have I done"
It all ended well though and the machine runs like a champ. And now we do our cleanings EVERY DAY.
PM SuddenUrge and ask him very nicely to send you the diagrams he sent me, in the mean time I will look through my email to see if I have them. If I do, I will pop back on here and let you know to pm me.
Thanks for the awesome reply Logan. I may have solved the problem. My maintanince tank was full, but the warning never went off, so I drained it and reset it and it works great. I could deffinitely still use those diagrams though. Thanks for your help!
Okay the error just showed up again so I took out my pump/capping station. To the naked eye everything looks fine, just a little dirty with ink, anything I need to be looking for.
*Note - I get the 100035 everytime I try to do a head or power cleaning. Maybe thats a clue where to look.

This error message means that the pump has gone bad. You cannot clean it or work on anything to get it up and going again. The only thing you can do now is replace it. Once the main board has this error message, the only thing to do to clear it is replace it.

Never say never.
It took about 4 hours start to finish but I took the capping and pump station COMPLETELY apart, removed all the built up ink that has aquired over time and (painstakingly) put it back together.
I noticed thre is no electronic parts on the cap/pumping assembly. Everything is plastic (mostly) with some metal. So saying that this error can not be removed would be false, because without a chip or something or the sort to tell the printer its new, the printer can not be able to tell if its a new part or not. So a simple, thorough cleaning can do the trick, and did.
After the removal, the cleaning, and the reinstallation of the same pump and cap station I:
Turned the machine on and is started up first try and sounds better then ever.

When you took out the assembly you would of noticed a small harness that plugs into the pumps sensor. That is electrical and that is what gives the 10035 error. This error just does not appear without a message being sent. From the 100 or so Blazers that I have worked on, my experience with this error message is that the part needs to be replaced. All because of the small white plastic gear has broken teeth from ink build up and the sensor is not being triggered. My bad for not asking you to check that gear for wear. Sometimes I get ahead of myself. But I'll admit, in my 4 year tech experience with dtg, I am still learning something new every month. Happy to hear that yours did not get to the point of no return and you were able to refurbish it and save you some money.
Yeah I thoroughly checked every piece in the assembly and all was good, no teeth missing or anything like that, just a TON of ink build up. So much that the wipper was not extending all the way out and I think that caused something to bind inside the pump somewhere. The ink was basically rubber and peeled right off.
Been printing all day works 100%. Thanks for the info though, I will keep that in mind should something happen (::knock on wood:

One last thing, since your comfortable now to take that assembly out, I would take it out every month and give it a good cleaning. Doing this will keep you from ever having to buy a new one, maybe just replacing the wipers. But will also help extend the life of your print head followed by daily maintenance.
I went from not knowing what the hell a cap/pumping station was to having completely repaired it, so I am a bit excited as my printer is working 100% right now.
While I have you, would you happen to know where I can get the EXACT same cartridges for the Blazer Express? My slot 6 and 8 I believe are on their last leg as they are getting harder and harder to reset, but I cant seem to track down anyone that has the same ones I have now (the original one that comes with the blazers).
