Anti-virus and firewall are already turned off. We're doing laser cuts all week so I can't fiddle with the IP address on the computer until that job is done running. There is absolutely NO way to see the IP address from a service menu or something?

Umm... are you sure that's the only solution? I'm asking because two other devices run off drivers on that same computer. Mucking with the IP address might take down our whole shop. I read about being able to use this Nettool to be able to view and change the IP address in the Roland printer...

I edited my post - see above for IPV4 address

How do I see what the IP address is on this machine? Is it buried in the menus somewhere? I have scrolled through the menus endlessly and have never been able to find the IP address

I tried to enter the old IP address into Versaworks but no luck. How long to hold down the little blue button to reset the IP?0 Are the LED lights on the printer below the ethernet port any indication? I have a solid green (left-most light), followed by a flickering amber in the middle. The...

We're starting to do our own repairs. There are no good techs in Maine and the next closest Roland dealer is in Boston. There is a wealth of info on Youtube and on this site, and on others, to do most general repairs. If I get stuck I have a new friend who is a Roland tech in another state and...

Man that's a bummer. Our dealer had a few media rollers, the kind that go into the end of the cores and roll on the aluminum bars that you're looking for. They had them laying around from a dead machine in the back of their tech shop. I'd get on the phone and start calling around to a few...

I just did this on our SP-540v. It helps to loosen the carriage from the back. The Sp540 has a couple of plastic hooks that keep it from dangling and damaging cords when it's unbolted. Start at the front of the machine and remove all the rivets that hold the cable down, including any clamps or...

We moved our SP-540V from one of our locations to another and we're having difficulty seeing it on the network. This is a working production machine that was doing great before. It needed a new cut carriage cable, which we installed without issue. Now it is throwing no errors but we just can't...

I got a different Roland tech/dealer in RI (Nepco, if anyone's interested) to ship me a cut carriage cable at a reasonable price ($30+shipping) and got it installed today. This was much less difficult than I expected, once I got past the intimidating step of loosening the chassis board on the...

I'm looking to fix my unclearable pinch roll errors on our Roland Versacamm SP-540v. This problem started when the encoder strip (which is basically new within the last couple of months) got dirty and needed a cleaning. A few prints later, the pinch roll errors started. Sometimes it's the left...

Has anyone run into a company called Grand + Benedicts out of Oregon? They are the breakers who get called in to de-image and clear out defunct retail stores. I got a call from them to help break a Dollar Tree store at the local mall. Gave them a fair price to remove cut/cap/make-safe and remove...

Interesting. I can't imagine that would be any less expensive, but it could expand the color selection. Thanks!

Thanks for the snarky answer, I guess. I *did* google it, however "3M680CR" was the piece of information I lacked.

I guess that's my point - why tie up a printer and burden the expense of ink, overlam, and labor if the material can be purchased in standard colors?
