  1. The Flex cable on the Roland Versacamm SP 540v

    I'm assuming you have found OEM flex guides somewhere, as they are very rare. Hopefully you still have the originals. I would verify the length and hole spacing is the same on the new guides as on the original. If they're not an exact match, this could be your issue. You can easily modify the...
  2. The Flex cable on the Roland Versacamm SP 540v

    Verify your installation using the attached guide.
  3. Help

    True, as a fuse is a fuse, as long as they are the same blow rating. Roland finally figured it out on later models and used sockets. Unfortunately, the pad spacing won't allow a retro fit to sockets on the SP-300. Your idea is the best for these older models with soldered fuses.
  4. Help

    Another option is to solder the correct new fuse on top of the old one without removing it. Removing and replacing the old fuse is difficult to access without accidently touching the hot iron to surrounding components, especially the connectors.
  5. IC Check Slot 1 Error

    SP300V only runs under the 5.x.x series.
  6. IC Check Slot 1 Error

    Send me your email by Conversations. I have the .rml for the stock profiles (16) for the SP-300V. It's too big for uploading here. I'll send it to you by a file transfer site.
  7. IC Check Slot 1 Error

    Your link is just an info page. You should be able to get profiles by going to your Versaworks tab in your start menu and clicking on the Online Update. It will take you to a window where you should be able to access a button to download profiles.
  8. SP-300V scan motor replacement tips

    Did you clean and lube the head carriage guide rail? If so and you're still getting random errors, then it's a simple swap repair. Then run scan and cutter aging in service mode. Probably one of the easiest repairs you can do on this printer.
  9. Need Help Red turns to black or dark blue at random

    Adding - if you reprint the file in the pic, does the black square show up again? And in the same location?
  10. Need Help Red turns to black or dark blue at random

    Does it do this in any other files? Are these labels step and repeated as multiple copies in Versaworks, or was it done in the design program? If in the design program, look into your created file for something hidden in that area, maybe some kind of mask.
  11. Need Help Roland Truevis VG2-640 - Temp Too High or Temp Too Low Error Code

    Thanks for the pic, that narrows it to your previous assumption of possible ethernet issues, except it's internal to the printer. For the feed motor and printhead error codes, there are 2 groups of data, ethernet issues have only one group. I would suggest, with the printer unplugged for a good...
  12. Need Help Roland Truevis VG2-640 - Temp Too High or Temp Too Low Error Code

    Can you post a pic of the display showing this error. There are usually 2 four character groups with error codes - xxxx xxxx. The first group directs you to a certain problem area and the second group narrows it down. The reason I ask for the display pic is the 0008 code is associated with the...
  13. Help

    These might help... The multimeter needs to be on the ohms section.
  14. Roland VS 640i not printing, ink while cleaning comes in drain bottle

    If the faulty transistor is shorted, then the fuse supplying that transistor is likely blown. The voltage from that fuse supplies voltage to half of the channels for the printhead. Recheck the fuse and get the faulty transistor replaced before powering up again. The fuse is user replaceable, but...
  15. Mutoh Smart Chip Bypass

    Email this guy about unlocking the printer. geshkin@ukr.net He's in Ukraine. Apparently, he has helped a number of people on here unlock their Mutohs. I don't know what he charges, but it's probably worth it, between ink loss from bad cards and the sheer frustration...
  16. Need Help Inconsistent print

    I'm assuming you are talking about the random dark horizontal lines. If not, you need to be clearer about the problem, preferably by marking up the pic. And lighten it up a bit please, it's dark and hard to see. This is likely because of the weight of the roll of banner. The SP-540 can...
  17. Roland VersaCamm SP540i Rolls Material out unevenly.

    And make sure the brackets these rollers fit in are screwed tight on the bottom of the printer. If one of them is loose, the supply rollers will not be parallel to the printer and cause skewing as well...
  18. Roland VersaCamm SP540i Rolls Material out unevenly.

    Make sure the pinch rollers are clean. The easiest way to clean them is to use alcohol and a foam swab. Run the feed aging in service mode and hold the swab against the pinch roller, being careful not to let it get caught between the pinch roller and grit roller. You can also clean the grit...
  19. Removal of DX4 manifold screw? Help! -- 1/2 way through manifold replacement!)

    You need to see what they are going for by doing an online search and on Ebay. Factor against that how much heads, etc. will cost to get it operational, plus your time. You didn't say how it was printing before you decided to replace the manifold. Based on all that and the PITA factor, if you...
