  1. SP-540V - 0010 Motor Error & Unrecoverable Limit Sensor

    Hi all, I am encountering some issues with the Head Carriage on my SP-540V. When it returns to the Capping Station, it doesn't hit the breaks and slams into the Control Panel sidewall, leading to a Motor Error of 0010. After this occurs, the Head is loose / unlocked. This error also occurs if I...

  4. Need Help Roland SP-540v flashes "Service Mode" but then quickly jumps out of Service Mode... I'm stumped...

    So, yesterday I changed out a liner encoder strip on our Roland SP-540v (firmware 6.3) and, although it prints the image still "skews". I figured I'd need to do the "Linear Encoder Setup" as per the Service manual. I attempted AS I HAVE DONE IN THE PAST to enter service mode... the usual, start...
  5. New Guy SP-540v changing Ink Type

    Hi there, I recently bought an used Roland SP-540V. I changed the black/cyan printhead and everything went well except of the Ink filling. The service manual says you have to do the 'Head replacement' in the Ink Control. I've done that, but then the printer requested to put in cleaning...
  6. Looking for the tool to drup ink caps for Roland SP-540v

    Hi All, I recently bought an old SP-540V as my first solvent printer and it's missing the tool that comes with the printer when new. It lets one drop the caps down. I want to do a head soak but can't without this thing! Does anyone happen to know where I can get one or have one they would sell...
  7. Need Help Did I ruin my Roland SP-540v printheads?

    Hi All, forgive my cluelessness here... I just bought my first solvent printer, an old SP540v and think I made a big mistake in taking out the carts while transporting it home on a crazy-hot day a week back. Before buying it (about an hour away) I saw it print and it had a good nozzle check. I...
  8. Centering the Heads and Caps Roland SP-540V

    I'm having trouble centering the print heads and cap tops of my Roland SP-540V. How can I tell the caps are centered? It took me so many times to get the heads centered but now I think my caps aren't centered because the bottom portion of one of the heads is not being cleaned. I see how to...
  9. Replacing SP-540v Main Board

    Hi guys, We had an issue with our Roland SP-540V machine not printing at all from the Yellow/Magento head. After replacing everything else and trying unsuccessfully to get my mainboard repaired I took the plunge & ordered a new board last week. I now now have the new board fitted & can...

  11. SP 540V Discoloration after head passes over a tear

    While printing a 100 inch wrap, I had no issues with coloring until the last 10 inches or so. I guess there was a small tear on the vinyl's edge, and the head started to rub on it, making it pop up more. We just let it run, holding the tear down the best we could until it passed the torn...
  12. Head alignment on SP-540v?

    Had some dropout issues, was finally able to resolve with soaking the heads and cleaning, but now on the test print, some of the lines are out of alignment on black & cyan, resulting in some slight, white spots on prints. Already performed the bi-directional adjustment, but I'm assuming it's...

  14. Print head change?

    What do you make of this? The Black is a bit off. The reseller will enforce the idea of a head change for sure, but is it necessary?
