pull with a syringe, listen for a hiss, or lack of vacuum. If it isn't sealing somewhere, running cleanings won't improve anything.

There are 3 linear bearing blocks mounted on the rail, 1 for the cut tool, 2 on the print carriage. You can use 3-in-1 oil on the rail, make a small puddle and run the bearings over it, wipe off the crud it leaves behind and repeat. As long as the chain inside the bearing block is still...

If the customer designed it as a cut file, it may have cut lines versaworks doesn't recognize. If you go edit->queue A(orB)settings->cut tab, There is a buttion for "cut all paths" which opens up cut paths from other design programs to be picked up. Just look at the preview first, it may have...

unless the metal bracket on the pinch roller itself is bent too far up or down that the sensor cant read it, or pushed too far back, you're off into board territory, which gets scary.

A bit lengthy to put in here, but look up youtube vids of limit position adjust, its the same for any print + cut machine.

If it's a scan motor error 0080, it's getting stuck. If it's a 0110 good chance the motor is hooped. The cable tension being super low can cause motor errors as well. Vander's right about the limit position adjust, thats the likely scenario.

With over 2 years the machine is off warranty, not a deal breaker but a point to note. If you are going to consider ANY used machine, best see it operate in person. I've come across those people that have a print from that machine they did months ago to send to you, and the printer sat in a...

Captop is likely fine if it is new. The alignment could be off, if the cap is not roughly in the center of the head when it's docked. The other is a seal is broken elsewhere, giving the same result of no vacuum/suction. dampers of that colour being the most likely cause.

thats the one, looks weird from that side :) Just remember that it can still be something wrong with the board, that the signal isn't making it to the sensor. The board is cheap enough to just replace it anyway, less than 10 bucks as long as you aren't getting hosed.

the upper case W is the pinch roller sensor, move the head back and forth in front of a pinch roller, or wave a piece of paper or something infront of the sensor to see if it triggers that W. Try to trigger it across the platen width as well, it might only work or not work in certain areas.

If you have a REALLY long screwdriver, you can remove the sensor from behind the printer, else there are 2 allen screws holding a bracket to the linear bearing. Just taking the 2 screws off you should be able to spin the bracket enough to get to the sensor on the back. This ones a bit harder...

Cut carriage cable, cut carriage board, connections on the board and the proximity sensor on the tool carriage, any of those could be the most likely issue. If you've already replaced the cut carriage cable, and didn't put it in upside down, or forget to plug it back into the servo board, the...

The fan is the cooling fan for the head board, and runs all the time unless the printer is actually turned off. The SP series has no fans other than the bed vacuums. Yes, the fan is noisy, though it was quieter when new.

It's mostly ether, but a mix of a few specific types. I probably wouldn't spray diesel starter on your heads though.

Not even a freckle of ink mean either no ink is making it into the head, or there is no signal instructing it to fire. You are seeing 2 rows of yellow and magenta because the machine is still in service mode, and prints the large and small dots on the test print. If you can syringe black/cyan...

The printer reads the first crop mark, then the rectangle beside it. It reads the rectangle to determine if the sheet is loaded at an angle, and if it is, to skew the cut to match the sheet. What is happening is either the rectangle edges are not clean (print is fuzzy looking), or the crop mark...

It's 100% grip related. If the outside pinch rollers are BOTH new-ish, since one new and one old will cause uneven pull, then we're off to the linkage/arms. The pinch roller clamp linkage can be adjusted, but only on the left side. If the left side is much looser than the right, again, uneven...

Oh boy, my nemesis. Irregular vinyl feed is usually the case here. First off, how good of a hold do the arms that hold the media on the back have? if those can slide at all, they will, one end will sag and now the media is no longer straight. Same goes for the front, the arm for the take up...

If Visbily isnt cutting twice, it's likely the pressure. Having a bad cutter strip would probably give you jagged cuts, and those look clean, so likely fine there. In the job setting->cut controls, how is the force controlled, manually or by the job settings? I think you can control settings...

A lot of blown fuses are from bad connections, usually the ribbon cables. Taking them out to clean the contacts also gives you a chance to look for bent pins or scorch marks. Also check the cables that move along with the cutter, sometimes they wear through the coating, and the lines arc against...
