  1. Hp scitex fb500

    Encoder reader could be bad. Years back I had carriage errors. New encoder reader fixed it. Also the brushes wear out every few years on the carriage motor
  2. Hp scitex fb500

    What state are you in? Do you get the same error on every restart? A lot of the error codes you get on these machines are bogus and due to something simple that's why I ask do you always get that error on restart?
  3. Fb500

    Did you ever get an answer? Basically the printer doesn't know what size the sign is so when the sign passed beyond the media sensor, it stops printing. The solution is in media configuration where you tell the printer the size.

  5. Cyan issue with my HP FB500

    Post a picture of your cyan prime bar. Even one or two bad jets can mess you up. What's your head height setting? You want that to be as low as possible. It's under "printing". Run automatic calibrations for bidi and head to head. Try it again after all this
