Two lights flashing at same time and printer stops during printing

My Epson L1800 DTF printer will start printing perfectly. During printing, it will make a knocking noise as the printhead moves back and forth. It locks up and both lights start flashing. I have tried pulling out waste ink, cleaning and lubricating the shaft, cleaning the clear strip and also the yellow carriers. I have turned the machine off and waited overnight. I have blown out the paper feed. I have tried unidirectional printing. Any ideas appreciated. I am at a standstill with orders waiting...

Thank you for your help, but I think I fixed it. I have tanks, not cartridges on mine. I make sure they are always full. I changed the setting on printing speed. It was checked for high-speed printing and I unchecked it. So far, so good. I have 2 of these printers and the one that was throwing the error printed much faster than the one that is doing ok. Again, thank you so much for trying to help! I have fought this fight for several months now and have watched every Youtube video I could find!

Well, printed great for 1 day and started doing the same thing again... I give up!

The noise is coming from the printhead as it moves back and forth. Do you have any idea which part I need to check. I am thinking it is in the hardware, not software, but I have no idea what part to check. Thank you so much for all your help. The printer is brand new, less than 2 months old and since it is a dtf converted printer I purchased on Amazon, the support is not very good.
