Interesting PDF, I have downloaded it too. But be careful: in the electronic box of some mutoh is more space for such assemblies than below the cover of a SP540V.

Because the fuses we all mean are responsible for the heads only, a working mainboard led doesn't mean anything in this case. I have found a picture of the fuses on a SP540V-Mainboard. You can use a voltmeter to check it (lot of them are suitable for checking fuses with a sound function) and...

Because the Kona is a USB-Plotter, it's absolutely mandatory to install a device driver for the Kona. As long as the device manager says "driver not installed", you will not be successful to drive that plotter out of any plotsoftware.

how does the nozzle test looks like?

if all colours are dead after unplugging cables without unplugging the printer from the power source I agree with the idea to check the fuses.

Every HP have automatic feed. The media load tool what is not delivered with the L26100 is a utility to help loading very soft media like fabrics.

Try to pull ink at the tubes of the cap tops to fill the heads too. If this works (ink comes into the syringe), it could be that the Pump is the problem, or a clogged waste ink tube.

It could be the dampers, but first of all I would check the cap tops ( putting a syringe on the tubes and pull). its easy to check this way if the tubes are clogged or the rubber at the cap tops don'g close correctly anymore.

Best way is to pull ink trough damper AND head is to connect the syringe to the tube of the cap top. Use a syringe directly at the damper won't fill the head, and the damper could get damaged. And pulling at the cap top could help discovering problems with the caps, what could be a cause too why...

The SP300i is a reduced VP300i with 2 instead of 4 heads. The main differences of the i to the v are New, compact design Ethernet instead of USB Movement of the Capping unit mechanical, not motor driven anymore Intelligent Pass to reduce Banding Print Head Carriage is belt driven instead of...

Specially with the older CJ with the membrane keyboards it is nearly impossible to put in the sequence fast and reliable enough to get into service mode. Put in the sequence as fast as you can, be shure that you have pressed the button hard enough, and perhaps after the twentieth or thirtiest...

There are cap tops available with a metal sheet instead of the sponge. My experience with that cap tops are bad, the metal sheet have loosened sometimes and stick at the nozzle plate of the heads. Better use the caps with the sponge.

There are issues with the heads which can't be seen with the regular nozzle test, but with the service mode nozzle test. This kind of symptoms could appear for example with a bad head cable. The service mode nozzle test could show it. Independently from that, printing fast print modes on cheap...

Clean the Linear Encoder. The Linear Encoder is a strip of plastic (appear transparent) which is mounted across the print area above the printhead rail. Don't bend or damage this plastic strip, clean it with a dry tissue, if this won't help with a wet tissue or with a soft cleaning liquid. If...

Set the printer to 2 x CMYK will help much.

Be aware of that your Flexi should support the ports of the plotter. For example, driving an Summa S-Class (Introduction 2005) with Scanvec CASmate (developement stopped in 1997, using a SummaSign Driver) will work without problems with the old S-Class Model because this model have still a...

There is no additional performance in cutting ... but a lot of details which makes life easier in a lot of cases with the S2. First of all, the display is much better than the old one, more contrast and brillance. And the new menu structure have less sub menus, so it's easier to use. In...

There is only one nozzle still with problems, this should not have an effect to the print quality. It could be that the nozzle will start working again during printing. I check cap tops with a syringe connected to the tube of the cap top. Depending on how easy how much ink can be pulled with...

A SP540V can't be 4 years old, the printer is not available for new anymore since around 2007. As soon as such problems appears, the condition of the pump, the cap tops and so on will be very important for solving these problems. Roland for example suggests to replace the cap tops every 6...
