  1. Processing... (but done printing)

    Yes. It does. Any suggestions on how to delay the inevitable loss of main board? THANK YOU Thanks for the input everyone. There is no router. Printer is directly connected to CPU (Which has plenty of RAM)
  2. Processing... (but done printing)

    Our VP-540v will stop at random times during a print job, carriage will return to base and not move. Screen stays at "Processing" and will not budge. Turning main power on and off is the only way to get my cpu to "see" the network connection ( a direct ethernet connection) and the next job will...
  3. Service manual to share?

    I am looking for the PDF version of the technician's service manual for the VP540. I don't mind making a "charitable donation" to somone's paypal account for the help. Thanks!
  4. Purchased used SP-540V..need help

    Anyone else care to endorse this? Thank you Northern Design for the advice. I want to do this with my printer if it makes a big difference. Are the instructions for this in the Service Manual?
  5. VP 540v.... No suction >>> Bad Damper?

    VanderJ, Thank you for responding. I have tried 2 new cap tops. Same thing going on. I've never had an issue with cap tops being bad out of the box. Where else would air be coming into the system?
  6. VP 540v.... No suction >>> Bad Damper?

    I am getting no suction when pulling from below the cap on the Magenta head. The print head is barely printing. Could this be a bad damper? Where is the best source for instructions on changing the damper? Thank you
  7. Need Help Roland VP-540 Not Printing Black, Cyan

    VanderJ, Could an old/failed damper be the cause of non suction for your test? I just replaced the magenta cap top and i'm getting very little suction on my magenta head when pulling air down. Thanks!
  8. Larger than 4'x8' coroplast printing

    Thanks guys for the input. I am in New England FYI. Not UK. czar2178, if you are interested in quoting the job, let me know. I can provide common frieght carrier. You'd just have to package it up safely. Thanks Hunter
  9. Larger than 4'x8' coroplast printing

    Hello, I am looking to outsource 4x8 panel printing. End result is graphics for a street width aluminum truss. 13-15 panels worth. One sided printing on 4 mil coroplast. Anyone up for this? Any recommendations of printers I should check with? Thank you

  11. 2200 hours.... Is that a lot

    I am picking up a used VP-540 with 2200 hours. That sounds like a lot on a scan motor. A lot for the printer in general. Thoughts? Personal experience? Thank you for the feedback.
  12. Roland SP540v ripping but not printing

    I think you are confirming what I am describing in my situation as what is supposed to be the case. All digits but last 3 are the same in Net tool and VW. Last octet is different... VS: "Printer Settings" different from Net Tool console. To your last point about making sure there isn't another...
  13. Roland SP540v ripping but not printing

    Updating the firmware on the printer itself seems like a logical stem, although it's one that I am super hesitant to try, lest it really messes with an older "legacy" printer. Is there anyone out there that can confirm that updating the firmware on an SP540V from 6.x to whatever is most recent...
  14. Roland SP540v ripping but not printing

    The IP address is correct. Although Net Tool sees a different last 3 digits than VersaWorks lists, but from what I understand the last 3 digits don't matter. If the IP address wasn't correct, the printer should not be reporting anything to VersaWorks right? Ink levels and current status should...
  15. Roland SP540v ripping but not printing

    I just turned off Windows firewall. Did not help. I was also running Spybot for antivirus purposes. Uninstalled it. That also did not help. Also tried the unplug it from the wall thing. Perhaps I am missing a step with the InterCon-Netool App? It sees the printer as well but seems to hang on a...
  16. Roland SP540v ripping but not printing

    I just had to replace my Roland's controlling laptop. They are directly connected by a network cable. Old laptop was windows7. New one is Windows8. I installed and then updated Versaworks to 5.x on the new laptop (going to 3.x and then 5.x). Currently VersaWorks and the new laptop sees and...
  17. Smallest Dye Sub printer possible

    Hello all, I am looking to get into producing teardrop style fly flags. What size would the smallest dye sub printer be that I could get away with using for the most common flags? What other minimum equipment requirements would be needed? Cheers! HP

    Hello Robert, Can you tell me how to check the head shot count on a SP 540 v? I bought the machine pre-owed, trying to determine if the heads should be replaced. Thinking very seriously of getting them from you and doing it myself. Can you send along the service manual as well? Perhaps it will...
  19. Pump clacking like a nightmare \ SP 540v

    Hello all. Here's my issue: Print quality went south today with yellow dropping out and blue testing very weak. I did a couple of cleaning, suctioned out lines at pump. Print quality went up but not by much. Then with a subsequent cleaning the pump beneath cap tops made a couple of very loaud...
  20. Tips for getting back print nozzles - SP540v

    Thanks for that advice. Though i hope i never have to use a syringe near my printer! I replaced the black\blue cap top and a "powerful" cleaning later, the head is back to working like it was. Not perfect but 90% there. I guess suction was really low. Glad I hesitated on pulling the DX4 trigger...
