Roland sc-540: Spools off 7 feet of vinyl each time I press the Setup key.

[Ironhorse]

So I started up my printer for another days work yesterday and loaded some vinyl to cut: When I pressed the SETUP key to measure the vinyl after i'd positioned it, it suddenly ran off 7 feet or more of vinyl then sucked it all back to the beginning.
Pre-feed option is OFF in the menu. No matter what I put in, cut or print, it measures the width and immediately spools out a long piece, as i said 7 feet or more... any size cut or print job.
I have the latest firmware. Totally new problem out of the blue. Any ideas??
Cheers and thanks!

before you press setup, what is read on the printer screen?

Roll - measure the width only

edge - measure the width, and cycle the media to the front paper side sensor

piece - measure the width, then the length by spooling out all the vinyl

i'd imagine it's on piece, pressing left or right will change it to the other options

Setup: spooling after setup key is pressed

Ragnabrok,

Yep, that was it alright. The strange part is- it never gave me all three options available before, it only read ROLL, and i'd seen the screen a million times! When it changed to ROLL EDGE PIECE I didn't even notice. The other guy who operates the printer must have changed it without noticing either. ha! Well, there ya go. Knew it had to be something simple.
Cheers and thanks!
