I've had a lock get jammed, and took it apart to fix. It's just a ball bearing in a spring. took it apart, put it back together, and it worked after that.

you can drag and drop into the job queue, select the files in an explorer window, drag them into the queue, the icon should change and let go. I've done this for 5-8 files, not sure how things will react when you really get up in numbers.

he mentioned hexus on another thread.

easy solution, you are doing it wrong :thumb: At the start of limit position initialize, it prompts you to move to cap position. You have to lock the head, or it will fail. There is a youtube video by all graphics that shows the limit position initialize way better than i can type it out. The...

The feed motor is encoded, so if it trying to move forward or backwards and doesn't, it'd trigger some type of motor error. I'd guess that the motor is turning, but is not attached to the gear, or the gear has broken off the grit roller shaft. I think the feed motor is behind the covers on the...

Heat is needed during a print for solvent ink, to make the media more receptive. once it's on there, you are waiting for the solvent to evaporate, blowing the vapor away speeds this up. I can't say if heated air would speed up the result, or make shrinkage more or less of an issue.

Some of the VS series data issues were fixed with a firmware update a few years back, but that was more block printing than overspray. In the profiles themselves are ink limits for the colours and for the total. From the editing menu you can print a saturation limit chart, it'd be intersting...

Customer made a frame of 2x4's, in the shape of a fridge, with coroplast walls. Added a metal grille on the bottom with some plastic core ends as stands. Mounted a box fan with a furnace filter on top of it, and had an open roof. Basically a filtered vertical wind tunnel.

Have you taken off the top few covers to check the ink lines for leakage? The only VS i've seen a break on was a 540, not that it's a common issue. Just follow the ink lines from the head back to the cartridges, you'll see quite a mess in there if one is leaking.

Wow, that old small dot nozzle check is messed bad, head rank makes sense if the voltage or pulse width was waaaaay off. If it still does something like that occasionally it's a data issue, usually a fault of a cable. Which cable? that's the fun part. I find all all the gold head based...

limit initialize is the same on all print-cut machines. 0050 and 0040 are scan motor errors, 0050 is an abrupt stop, and 0040 is a combo of high load and deviation. Deviation is when the encoder inside the scan motor and the linear encoder aren't giving the same movement values. it can be from...

Getting summoned, this is new :thumb: The nozzle check shows the bias alignment of the head is a bit off, but nothing that would cause overspray that bad. All the nozzles are firing, but the test print in user mode only shows the large dot, in service mode it shows the small dot as well, would...

The IP address in VW should be exactly the same as what is read in Net-tool. Any time i've done a crossover direct connect, i've set the PC a static IP address (eg 192.168.1.101) and the printer a few off from it (eg 192.168.1.125) match the VW printer settings IP address to the one set in...

Possible firmware glitch? updating it if you haven't already is an easy start.

doesnt seem to continue into the blue, how does the nozzle check look?

IP address/gateway not assigned on the new laptop?

overly agressive anti-virus program on the new laptop that wasn't on the old one? maybe a firewall blocking it?

Look at the edge of that print, notice the edge moves? Encoder scale is dirty, causing the print to shift. Clean the encoder scale with iso alcohol, you're likely good to go after that.

The only things that can control a single colour on those heads to fail is an empty cartridge (they can go empty and not beep at you), a bad damper, and very rarely a broken ink line. It could be the product of a bad head, but that would be the last avenue to persue. Leaky ink lines are easy to...

You did the cut calibration, where it cuts that 400mm grid? That would affect the cut over the distance, but what else could be going on is the cut is the correct length, but the print is too long/short. Which one measures accurate?
