Thank you! Seemed to do the trick!!! Roland wants 1k just to come look at it! This oil trick worked even though it says in the manual to never oil anything! But it worked!

mine is doing the exact same thing!!! whats the fix?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

where do i oil it???????????????????????????????????????

what is the scan motor? it sounds horrible I dont know where to oil it?

So just a few drops of oil somewhere on the belt?

I have had this Roland for almost three years now. a while back ONLY while printing, it makes this clicking sound sounds like nails on a chalkboard? It prints and cuts fine and only makes the sounds while the carriage is printing. I have observed it up close and its not striking the media clamps...

cool so though sounds are normal?

one more question! while printing with the roland bn 20 do you guys ever here weird screching sounds when the head is in motion an printing? I know on bigger flat beds that i used to work on I had to grease the carriage rail alot. It didnt say anything about that in the manual for the roland bn 20?

thank you for the reply. So never take the inks out unless its powered off only take them out when powered on to replace them? and I will double check the CMMYK. but since both magentas say 100 percent now will the printer just "KNOW" when they actually run out? and start beeping? I just dont...

so the ripping software always tells me to remove inks and shake I did that once and now both my magentas register as 100% full. Will the printer just know when these run out? Aslo, do I have to run two magentas? i swapped them because the first magenta never went below 100% so i figured to swap...

So just secure the carriage and drive slow? That’s what I’ll do it’s literally right down the road.

Can anybody give me directions on how to transport a roland bn20 printer? It’s only going a mile down the road. What do I need to do to protect it?

one year old machine and yes i do the regular cleaning weekly and swab around the capping station. So just run a nozzle check test pattern and if it looks good its not ready to be changed?

I have a roland bn-20 and have no clue when to change the capping station or wiper? there is quite a bit of ink around the capping station and wiper on the metal down below the capping station. Is it time to change it?
