Well, I have replaced the cables and got exactly the same print, so I’m pretty sure it’s not the cables. Another printhead will help eliminate something!!?? I’m just waiting for it. Thank you.

Hello, I have had weeks of trying to solve this strange Test Print, always hoping it wasn’t the Head. I am getting a test Head in the next few days to confirm it is the head as everything else has been looked at….more than once. I just want to know if anyone else has had a Test Print like...

…one of the Transistors was shorting out…..the board is in for repair…fingers crossed this was the problem.

Hello, as for as I can see, nothing was spilt onto the printhead. If I have fried the printhead, so be it, I will get a new one installed, I’m trying to find an old one to see if that prints as to make sure it is the problem. I would be fuming if I buy a new printhead and nothing changes. I’m...

Both 3.15 nano fuses had blown. I’ve replaced them and they are fine, I take them out and check with a multi meter and put back in. Thank you.

I can see ink moving through the capping station pipes to the drain bottle. I do have the manuals etc I did replace capping, wiper, felt also. Checking transistors may be beyond me. I did change ribbon cables a few times, new and old cables, same problem. I will try and find someone who could...

Well…I did have two blown fuses, but replaced those, I also replaced the board above the printhead, but nothing changes. I can only presume I’ve broke the printhead! Thank you.

Hello, yes, ink gets pulled through. Nothing will show when you test print, not a drop. I haven’t tried to print, but I’m sure nothing will show either. Thank you.

Printhead was clogged as not used for AGES!! So just presumed it was clogged. Thank you.

Hello, I have just installed a new printhead in my Roland VS640 the test print is blank, why no print at all? I have checked cables a few times and still nothing in the test print. Any ideas what I can check? Thank you.

Thank you. I will wait for the proper fuses and go from there.

Hello, the error code comes up when I start the machine, I can do nothing with it apart from turn it back off as the error says. Thank you.

Hello, I have this error on my Roland VS640. FEED MOTOR ERROR 00cc 0004 This may sound stupid, but do I just need a new Feed Motor? Thank you.

I wouldn’t use a higher fuse! OK, the good news is….I have just checked the original fuses and they are blown! Only if I use the 3a I get the FEED MOTOR ERROR, so maybe the 3a is OK and may solve the new printhead issue, but maybe I have damaged the Feed Motor now! Ha! I have new 3.15a fuses...

Thank you for your reply. I only had some 3a fuses so replaced with them, but I then get Feed Motor Error 00cc 0004, so I put the old fuses back in, then ok apart from printhead. I am ordering 3.15a fuses as I type…. Here is a picture of original fuses. Is this the SMD fuse??
