I carry dryer sheets with me as a quick fix for static. Other than that I would never put a printer on carpet and I would have a humidifier going.

Cat 6 will work it's just overkill.

Here's a picture of the cams:

There are 2 white cams on each side of the carriage. You have to take the covers off to see them. You can move them without unscrewing anything just with your fingers. Keep in mind that they move each side of the carriage so you need to measure each side of the head gap with the feeler gauges to...

There's a special jig you can get that tests the carriage height. The spec is between 1.1mm and 1.4 mm in low head height mode. You can get some feeler gauges and adjust it that way. It should clear 1.1mm and not 1.4mm. That being said, this is an extremely rare adjustment to make. In 13 years...

Part of the problem is they pay the hard workers and slackers almost the same. I managed a Papa John's for $8.25 per hour and the people I managed got $7.25. One of those $7.25 per hour workers would literally lay on the floor and I would have to say, "Get off the floor and make pizzas." When I...

You're right to be looking at the boards since the issue is affecting both print heads. I would check the trailing cables to make sure there isn't any damage, corrosion, or burn marks and re-seat them to make sure they are perfectly connected. Unfortunately since this happened out of the blue...

Double check that there isn't a plastic film on the encoder strip that needs to be taken off for it to work properly. Some have it and some don't. Once you confirm that, run the environmental match and see if it succeeds.

I can't think of a reason rotation would affect color. My guess is some other setting got switched. If you send the job over to Flexi and don't rotate it, does it print correctly?

Normally I would say the head fuse is blown on the main board but in that case, absolutely nothing can print. If the head can print the pallet then we know the head is fine. That really only leaves the main board as the culprit.

That looks like a bad encoder or sensor issue. Classic stair step pattern. I's clean the encoder strip and replace it if it has any damage. Also, try running the environmental match and see if it succeeds.

What's a bird doing on signs101? Haha sorry I had to say it. Also, I agree with MntPrintHead.

If it's a new sensor and it still doesn't read, I'd say the board it plugs into is fried.

The fact that it prints the pallet and nothing else is extremely unlikely. If that's the case I would suspect main board issues. Does it give any errors when you send a job from Flexi? How well does the pallet print?

It also appears when a print head isn't plugged in or has a bad connection. No connection means it can't get a reading from the head thermistor.

You have about 5 seconds to get that all done for it to work. The sequence mentioned in this post should work on your machine.

Clean the board the 15 pin cable plugs into with alcohol. Sometimes it's just built up with ink dust and the connection is bad. Also, if you didn't change the plastic sheets that the cable is sandwiched between with the cable, make sure to clean them with alcohol as well. If the cable can't move...

Check your positive and negative pressure values and adjust if needed. Then I'd run an air purge on the clear channels. The ink supply error means the machine is not detecting ink in the sub tank after trying to fill it which could be a pressure issue or even a clogged tube. The overflow error...

If you have Illustrator you can just make your files, use the Cutting Master plug-in to add crop marks, print through Rasterlink, and then cut from Cutting Master.

I agree 100%. As soon as I saw this ink system I thought, wow, this is a step backwards. I can't be 100% on this but my theory is that they no longer use Epson heads in these machines, which means they can't use Epson's ink delivery system. You may have noticed that all Mimaki, Roland, and Mutoh...
