Just create a new folder like in this video. It doesn't matter where it is, you just need somewhere to extract the files from the ISO to. Once they are extracted to that folder, you then run the SETUP.EXE from within that folder

He shouldnt need to. The ISO file is just a compressed version of the standard installation disk ready to burn. When extracted it is exactly the same as the normal installation disk and will run from the setup file.

No, just the desktop icon isn't installing it. Make a new folder called Versaworks and extract the ISO file to there. You should end up with a list of folders and files as shown on the attached pic. You will see a file called SETUP.EXE - use this to install it and it will take you through the...

You just need to unpack the file using a program like winzp. Unpack it to a new folder on your pc and then use the steup.exe file inside that folder to fully install versaworks. It sounds like you haven't installed it but are just trying to run it from the compressed file. It needs to be...

Use an extractor program like winzip to unpack the iso file onto your computer, then just run the setup from there. An ISO file is a disk image, but you don't need to actually burn a DVD for it

Ultrasonic cleaning will destroy the heads, so dont do it. To be honest I dont think you are ever going to get it running well enough to produce decent print unless you change the heads

The two fuses are the small surface mounted ones on the mainboard. One controls each head.

The head ranks don't make any difference. If the fuse blows nothing will print at all, not partial print like you are getting there on the black. It is possible the yellow/magenta fuse has blown, which would stop that head printing anything. if your 540 hasn't printed for a long time chances...

Don't buy heads from Digiprint! They have a track record of selling bad heads lately and refuse to refund for them. I second Ernie, he has a great reputation

No no need to connect to wi-fi. My laptop I run my SP300V only has windows and VW loaded on it. No internet connection at all

https://www.mediafire.com/file/wipvff2xmct2pdq/Roland_Versaworks_5.iso/file Download for VW 5 with the updater to 5.5.1 - SP300V should run on 4, but runs better on 5.5.1

Possibly, Win7 should have that as part of the normal install though, the same way that if you plug in a USB desktop printer it automatically detects the port etc.. I'm sure the PC has an ethernet port, maybe he meant the printer didn't? I haven't seen a PC without one since the old WinXP days!

To run an SP300V on Win7 you shouldn't need any drivers. Connect from the PC to the printer with the USB cable ( as the SP300V doesn't use ethernet ). The drivers are contained within Versaworks, so as long as your USB connection is working VW will detect the printer. VW doesn't need windows...

That is having a laugh charging that much! I can send from the UK to Canada for a quarter of that and that is for tracked airmail Try https://www.facebook.com/ernie.viveiros . He is a US based seller and can probably do you a much better deal

I think the problem is more likely with your software. If you are using VW try uninstalling and reinstalling it, it sounds like it isn't sending the whole job and is just sending a small part at a time. There isn't really anything that can go wrong with the printer to make it print slowly (other...
