IN THE MEANTIME keep the captop wet with cleaning solution from a roland cartridge or AT A MINIMUM isopropyl.

can’t help you with your board swap, but thiscwill hopefully buy you enough time to sort it out.

if you are able, do a cleaning cycle and/or a test print

failing that manually unlock the carriage & wet down with a speay bottle

Is this a new board you have just fitted? I'm not 100% on the XC/XR but it should be a dip switch setting on the main board tells the board which printer model it is fitted to.
If you check the switch settings from your old board, and make sure the new ones are set the same and see if that fixes it

Yes, dip switches must be set in a specific order. Some of the same boards are used in different printers, and those need to be set right order for each model. That's probably your issue.

Do you have the original board yet to compare the settings to?

If you have a service manual it should have the switch setting on the main board page like the samples shown here (note these are NOT for the XR640). I have a lot of older Roland manuals, unfortunately that's a model I don't have a manual for. Maybe someone will help you out and send it to you, or the switch settings, or just buy a service manual on line. Where did you get the board from? I've replaced boards in Roland's, and the documentation that came with the board also usually included the switch settings for each model it was used in.

If you don't have/ didn't use the Peck tool for all your settings and paramiters, you'll have to do it all manually. Again, if you have the service manual for it, under parts replacement/ main board it'll have a list of what you need to do. This is for an XC, but it'll be similar... Since it's a new board, it will have no parameters set for anything, all is needed for it to operate.

Perform the following operations if it is not possible to transfer the parameters by Peck4.exe.
1. DIP SW SETTING
2. BATTERY INSTALLATION
3. FIRMWARE INSTALLATION
4. SYSTEM PARAMETER INITIALIZE
5. TIME AND DATE SETTING
Set the date and time in the [SERVICE MENU] > [SUB MENU] > [CLOCK].
6. IP ADDRESS SETTING
Start the machine with the Service Mode and set in the User Menu.
7. FIRMWARE VERSION CONFIRMATION OF NETWORK CONTROLLER
8. HEAD RANK SETTING
9. SERIAL NUMBER INPUT
10. INK TYPE SETTING
11. CAP & WIPER CHECK
It can be performed in the [SERVICE MENU] > [I/S MENU] > [I/S CHECK].
12. CAP HEIGHT CHECK
It can be performed in the [SERVICE MENU] > [I/S MENU] > [CAP ADJUST] > [CHECK GAP].
13. SENSOR CHECK
It can be performed in the Sensor Check.
14. LIMIT & CUT DOWN POSITION INITIALIZE
15. LINEAR ENCODER SETUP
16. TOOL PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT
17. HEAD ALIGNMENT
Only Horizontal and Bidirectional Adjustment are required.
18. CALIBRATION
19. CROP MARK SENSOR ADJUSTMENT
20. CROP-CUT ADJUSTMENT
