You need to start barcode reading from the plotter, or right-click the cutting queue title in Flexi Production Manager to select a barcode reading start menu entry (not shure about the correct syntax for the english PM). Then the cutter will ask you to place the knife tip below/in front of the...

For this printer, roland doesn‘t have a cleaning liquid, but a cleaning sheet. But not shure if they available anymore.

The mechanics is reachable too with the fingers from the front below the caps.

They are not availabke anymore, as far as I know. That printer should be 20 years old.

In this cases, you could try to magnetize a small screwdriver (just rub any magnet on the shaft) und pull the knife with that magnetic screwdriver out of the head.

It is not common that the cutter freezes all the time. In this case, the first thing I will do is to reset the cutter to the factory settings, with the factory settings available for download on the summa website. There are a lot of reasons why the cutter don´t cut accurately. Depending on what...

I think as long as someone blames a machine without telling why, besides the fact that the machine he blames is one of the most recommended here on signs101, we do not take him serious. I do support summa cutters for more than 20 years, very often the problem stands in front of the machine

It works exactly like with the Graphtec, if everything is configured correctly. There are a few things you can do wrong: OPOS-CAM needs Summa Cutter Control up and running while doing contour cut, because the driver software of the camera is integrated in Summa Cutter Control. OPOS-CAM will...

You can use the syringe at the tubes of the cap tops. If you do it at the dampers, you will not flush the heads. If you want to do it automatically, you should use HEAD WASH in the INK CONTROL menu.

The printer doesn‘t set margins, if not specially configured to do so, or the machine is misaligned. I would check the default media formats configured through „Manage Printers“ in the file menu.

If you create it as a copy from the original CD, it should have the correct name automatically.

It works with a mounted ISO Disc Image of the original DVD. Tested it myself. So if you know someone who have a disc, just let them create a disc image to download.

The accuracy of printer profiles would be the best if you profile them on your printer and on your media. Calibrating the monitor only will not lead to reliable color consistency between printer and display. If you have FlexiSIGN & PRINT (or an older FlexiSIGN-PRO), you have color profiling...

Summasign SL-Series was produced between 2004 and 2005, so the Summa is at minimum 15 years old. A new Summasign had better tracking than the mimaki, but no idea if it is still the same with such an old cutter.
