ok thanks, yes, I'm trying to setup the printer to work only as a vinyl cutter, so I'm not worried about the printing side. I don't have cartridges and after having a couple of letdowns in trying to get some I read the service manual and thought maybe I could bypass inserting a full set of...

Is it possible to do a factory reset on the SC540 so that it will go back to asking for the four cleaning cartridges that would have been required when it was first used new? If so, how do you do a factory reset? thanks.

Sorry to hear that. We haven't gotten to the bottom of our SC540 yet, the seller who promised us empty cartridges never came through. And previous chips for cartridges I've bought from China haven't worked. Do you have a set of empty cartridges from your one you can box and post to NZ? I would...

thanks. Hopefully it will all become clear when I have all the parts. I'm a bit dated when it comes to software, I still have XP on one my computers! And Windows 7 on a laptop, and Windows 10 on another laptop, so between them I should be able to hook something up.

thanks! that's very helpful. I'm just waiting on the cartridges, and then we'll start looking into the software side, I think she'd preferably like to cut straight from illustrator, but we'll look into all that if/when we can get it going.

that's interesting, do you have any cartridges in your printer? If not that might be a way to get around it. thanks.

thanks, I'll give it a go if I can't get around it with the cartridges.

I'd like to get this sorted as painlessly as possible, so will try to avoid it then.

thanks, I'll give this a go if the cartridges don't work, my wife is trying to keep me from taking anything apart, she's spent too many years with me surrounded by printer parts and book spines, and is trying to keep me out of her vinyl cutter! I've assured her it's safe, but she's very...

ok, the guy we bought the printer from says he might have some empty cartridges for it by the end of the week, so they must have another printer that uses the same cartridges, he's going to send those to us when he has them, so hopefully that will sort it.

thanks very much for that, we'll give it a go!

thanks for that, I think there might be another problem though. When I plug the printer in it goes straight to cleaning, ie. it bypasses the sub power button. When it's on and I press and hold the sub power button it powers down for about 1 second and then comes on again and starts straight into...

I've just noticed that the sc540 we just bought second hand powers itself on as soon as main power is supplied too, and goes straight to cleaning. So likewise it's impossible to access the service menu. It also says the cover is open when it isn't. Looks like we got a lemon. Did you find a...

Hi, my wife has just bought an old working Soljet SC540 which she just wants to use as a vinyl cutter. It has no inks in it and hasn't printed anything in a couple of years and when she turns it on to use it as a cutter it stops at the "cleaning" screen, then flashes the numbers of all the inks...
