Mimaki CJV30-160 stops for no apparent reason

[yor]

During printing my Mamiki sometimes switches itself from Remote mode to Local and stops with a small beep without any digital warning. I manually put it back in Romote to continue printing.

It's new to me and it's quite embarrassing because sometimes I let it all alone printing at night..

Any idea to find out the reason will be very appreciated!

I have had this same problem, but havent figured out what it could be. I figured it could be with the data cable, but not sure either

I would update the firmware and software to make sure you are on current versions. Older versions had issues for sure.

Thank you.
I think both are up to date, Mimaki - v.3.60 and RasterLink - v.5.16.
The only thing I suspect is that the machine cartridges chips are getting dirty, as sometimes it stops printing because one of the cartridges looks empty but all I need to do in this case is to replace it.

This actually makes sense

Yes, I will try to do it myself..

For those who are interested.. I think I found the reason for my problem.

I removed the cover and the cartridges and cleaned the eight contacts of the printer chips inside that are in contact with the eight chips of the cartridges. Since that time everything has returned to normal as before.
