  2. Rename Mutoh User Media

    Mutoh FTP Site - Go to that link and go into the "printer information and manuals" folder and then the "VSM" folder. Download the "VSM.zip" file and install it on your printer. That software has a bunch of capabilities as well as the ability to change the media type names.
  3. Can i use a genuine Mimaki printhead on a Roland?

    If it has "IA0460" inscribed on the green circuit board it will work.

    The user manual says that machine has a USB port. Have you tried using that? USB to Serial is always problematic.
  5. Need Help CG-160FX

    If you have the proper drivers installed, install FineCut. You then have to open the plugin in illustrator and go into the settings and setup the cutter there. If the drivers are the correct ones, when you setup the communication settings for the cutter, the USB option should show your cutter's...
  6. Buffer Overrun flexi8.5

    Buffer overflow is a basic computer malfunction and it could be due to the software being corrupt or even bad memory in your computer. I'd start by reinstalling and go from there.
  7. Question Product code for the degassing module on a Mimaki JFX500-2131?

    If it is the same ones they use for the JFX200, which I am pretty sure they are, the number is, MAC-CA100-7.
  8. SP-300 converted to SP-300 V question

    You don't need to change the firmware. Just flip the proper dip switch and it's now an SP300V. All the V stands for is Versaworks will now see the printer.
  9. JV33 Sudden Error 202 Device Construction

    Error 202 means that the machine took a look at the head and decided that it is not the correct head. When this error happens out of the blue, it means something is shorted out along the path from the main board to the head. I always start by checking and replacing if necessary, the head cables...
  10. Need Help Roland VS Epson

    If you have the floor space the separate printer cutter setup is better for workflow. As far as the printers go, the Epson is about twice as fast at the same quality. The Epson also has a higher max resolution at 1440x1440 where as the Roland is 900x900. Since most people don't print higher than...
  11. News ROLAND-FX640 BI-DIRECTION

    I have run into this issue only once in my career and it ended up being bad ink. We changed the print head, cables, slider and main board. We ran calibrations, checked electrical from the wall and even flushed the whole system and changed all of the ink flow parts. After putting OEM cartridges...
  12. Mutoh 1604 nozzle

    Edit: Woops I was responding to a different post and was on this one by accident! I would recommend making sure all of the maintenance items are clean as a whistle. You might have a dirty wiper or cap top that is causing the nozzles to deflect.
  13. Need Help Epson gs6000 printheads from Indonesia

    I don't ever like to generalize but I have never seen a successful purchase of printer parts from Indonesia.
  14. (MTR.ALM Y:POS.OVER) Error on Mimaki CJV30-160BS

    That error is just a general error stating that the Y motor sensed a problem and stopped to protect itself. In your case, it slammed into the cutter. Although I have never seen this personally I have heard of it happening on 4 other occasions. It just seems to be a glitch that happens out of the...
  15. Mutoh Printer keeps turning itself off - please help!

    That picture is of the air release valve and it shouldn't have any fluid in it. That being said, it is not the best design and it almost always gets ink in it after a while. I don't think that is causing your issue. I am willing to bet it's one of two things. Either the head lock mechanism is...
  16. Eposn gs6000 switching printhead A to B position

    The heads are interchangeable for sure. I have never seen a GS6000 setup for dual CMYK but that doesn't mean it's impossible.
  17. Mutoh Valuejet 1324 [kcmy] Broken Chip Error

    If you have already put a cartridge in a machine and it was flagged as empty, it will always flag empty on every machine you put it in. You need new cards on the cartridges.
  18. Question Roland Cleaning. New Kit vs Old Kit?

    Roland sells the kit you want on their store. Here's a link: Cleaning Kit (SL) On a side note, you would think if Roland didn't sell it anymore it wouldn't be on their site right? Your dealer probably just doesn't want to stock 2 kits.
  19. Suggestions Leaving for a few days. Have some questions about shut down

    Before you leave, clean the cap top and wiper thoroughly. Clean any ink build up around the bottom of the head as well. Set the cleaning timer to 12 hours and the cleaning cycles to economy. Put the machine into sleep mode and rest easy. The people who have issues when leave for a while just...
