Roland SG300 keeps saying "end of sheet" and stops printing.

I've tried making the sheet length hundreds of feet long, drape the media off the roll so there's no tension, but it keeps wasting time and prints. Any solutions come to mind?

Sensor on rear platen. Remove the shiny rear platen with 4 screws.
Reseat cable on that sensor all of course with the power off unplugged

Roland Certified Tech thanks! Just to be clear before I start pulling it off that this is the location of the sensor?

Yes, the sensor is right below the hole in that rear shiny cover. It either has a yellow or white connector on it. When you go to put the shiny metal piece back, you have to be very careful putting it back in and make sure it is pushed all the way in. You should take a look at the front of that printer from the front side of that shiny metal plate. There’s little tabs that have to go in a particular spot.

Roland Certified Tech I gave it a go and two rounds of printing so far so good. Thanks for your help!

You are welcome. You should only get that message when you were actually at the end of the sheet.

I'm a bit late on this one but as a quick, easy, temporary fix you can cover the sensor with a piece of vinyl. Just bare in mind that then the printer won't know when it runs out of media

I have just removed the lint that builds up from paper baking and normal earth existence. It gets trapped under the metal frame of the sensor. Maybe you checked that but it usually gets missed, simple first is my mode.
