Last time I went to training they said, "There's an end user firmware updater. Don't use it. It doesn't work yet." That was years ago :rolleyes:

Most of the printers we work on allow you to turn that off. I think the main reason for it is to clean the bottom of the head on long runs so there's no ink build up which could degrade the print quality the longer the print is. But I think it's more of a vestigial organ on modern printers...

I looked into it and confirmed they are on backorder with ETA pending which is not great because most common items will at least give an ETA even if it's a long one. In my experience, they could come in at any time as in tomorrow or weeks from now unfortunately. The 330 series does use a...

They did make some major changes to their shipping policies and procedures in the beginning of this year. It got pretty rough there for us dealers as well. When I started a long time ago, every order I placed shipped same day as long as it was before the shipping cutoff. Now there isn't even an...

There isn't any document, that Mimaki gives out anyway, that describes all parameters. While some Mimaki tech manuals have an "Important Parameters" section that goes through some of the ones a tech might need to troubleshoot or enter permanent service mode, the document that you're most likely...

The sensor looks like #28 below. Like smoke said, go into service mode and test the sensor by moving something in and out of the interrupt sensor and have someone watch the screen to see if it flashes on and off. If it doesn't, either the sensor or the board it connects to is damaged. If it does...

Microsoft Edge has a function called, Microsoft Edge WebView2, that renders certain UI elements in windows. So Versaworks is trying to use that to render something, most likely a pop up window or something like that, and it's failing. Either you're logged in as a user who doesn't have access to...

There are some parts of of the process that can be parallelized but most of it can't so the RIP companies don't bother. Basically, the value of one pixel/dot relies on information from the one before it so it has to be processed sequentially. But you can always just hit the turbo button for...

There are many different part numbers for DX7 heads and some people claim certain ones are for UV or Solvent etc. The truth is, a DX7 head is a DX7 head. There are really only two versions. One has a black manifold with white sealant and one has a clear manifold with clear sealant. They both...

Some Mimaki printers have been known to pop out of remote mode randomly. As smoke jaguar mentioned, if it says DATA REMAIN, you should be able to pop it back into remote mode and it will continue where it left off.

Mimaki America has conflicting info on the site. The official spec is 430 sf/hr on the 330. Technically you can get up to 592 sf/hr but that's only 2 pass and isn't practical.

The lifetime error is just s timer and doesn't mean anything is broken. That being said, if the station is old, it may need to be changed or just the cap top needs to be swapped out. If the machine sat for a long time, the nozzles could be clogged and you might need to do a head soak. Try to see...

Did you reboot in normal mode yet and see if the error pops up again? Sometimes the initialization is so fast you don't see it.

Yeah, they've changed the boards a lot through the years. This machine isn't my specialty but maybe Smoke_Jaguar has some insights. He's the expert.

- Power on while holding the left, right, and down keys - Once it boots up, scroll down to the "Init Counter" Menu and hit enter - Scroll down to pump and hit enter - It will ask you if you want to initialize and just input yes - Don't do what people are tempted to do and initialize ALL or NVRAM...
