The DD is basically a open pit that has a light beam shooting from one side to the other (long side) if you are getting a 98:03 machine thinks that more than 1056 nozzles are out and quality is compromised etc etc.
Best thing about the 3/5x0 series is it is a single DD that services all heads...
Check the lift encoder.
Had one the other day that seemed to just lose a section all on its own, operators dont go in there so I beilve the story.
They are super easy to replace and recalibrate.
To remove, simply pull it upwards and out.
Youll need to recalibrate once you put it back.
See attached
With not much info to go by,
Check your media settings.
Ive seen the same issue with a guy who cloned a PET profile to use on 440gsm 2.5 banner.
The tensions were completely not suitable.
1st
Clean your main drive roller.
2nd
Run it on generic banner and assess result.
As a test to remove vertical banding on 360s ypu can unhook the 3 printzone fans at the rear of scan axis. This can eliminate a type of vertical banding but it introduces a odd horizontal banding especially in the light inks.
These heater-fans are only monitored to be on..not speed nor heat and...
We have rolled it out with a few of the L3x00 series and I am told it follows a similar process.
No real documentation on it at the time but what ive noted
3x00
Only available in 8pass or higher modes
Not available in dual roll, if you have prints ripped to that mode they are unprintable...
There was a document sent out to us stating they have removed the belt as a warranty item.
Just be careful with the head flush...a swollen belt is basically a write off machine.
Post a pic of your "prime bar"
Service printer - print tests - prime bar (from memory...on a sunday)
Its like the nozzel test but speaks volumes as to condition.
All head patterns should finish square to nozzels.
If the centers are blown out or have the mexican wave going on its going to cause...
You can remove the strips and flip them over in a pinch..but i doubt its where the issue is.
Make sure you clean the hell out of the rails that hold them in as small debris will make it really hard to put them back in.
Ive seen bearings fail many times before and usually carriage noise will...
What exaclty do you mean by "striking the maint cart" ?
I see in the vid the cloth has been puckered up a tad, is that what you are talking about? Or is it just the noise it makes every pass?
The hose has a directional fitting when you install it in the shop vac side. If you point it up it will spary vac internals with the ink - which can eat through most things it touches. If you point it downwards it will last longer. Also make a point to open it up and empty it often. Other things...
At the point of pressing "sheet ready" you can adjust head heights to a point...
Other than that load it as a short sheet which will prompt a manual height entry.
The readers are a bit flakey imo.
Some last..some last 2 weeks or less.
Strips will last as long as they stay damage free. Make sure you install strip with printed side down, as you only need to clean top usually its best to avoide touching the printed side etc.

Never worked on an 8k but did so on 9k and 10k and never had exploded diagrams for those.
The service station is a 1 part only. What i found is that when the cleaning cycle sounds extra fast and noisy and cleaning the heads seems ineffective - it is the shaft that drives the pumps which wears...
Price usually works out the same from other vendors.
Here in Oz there is next to no mark up as they are very expensive to buy in and you are competing with HP also.
I dont see how the ISS or primer has anything to do with this issue
We usually see what you have but jetted across the entire scan axis. A carriage board usually solves this.
I would put a loaner board in and let the user evaluate what happens next
