  1. Hi guys and gals... Not sure If I'm in the right place to post a question on this topic, but I'm sure I'll find out soon enough..

    Firmware is what resides in the printer's EPL board (basically the motherboard), RasterLink is the RIP software that lives on your PC. The code you're getting is F(use) 2 on the slider board being blown. Bad heads can develop short-circuits and that fuse is to protect the slider. Nothing to do...
  2. Question Anybody have a list of parameters and what each does in service mode of the UCJV300?

    The gully annotated parameter list itself isn't public to my knowledge, or in circulation.
  3. Need Help Lines when printing Magenta CJV150-130BS

    Print in unidirectional mode and then unidirectional but reverse direction. If printing to the left, likely the left side one and vice versa. Setting in the Q menu in RasterLink.
  4. Need Help Lines when printing Magenta CJV150-130BS

    Probably dampers, could be ink starvation. On test prints the ink has a chance to catch up so to speak.
  5. !NCU SENSOR LV LOW MIMAKI JV150

    The NCU is the black slot sensor between the capping station and the platen.
  6. !NCU SENSOR LV LOW MIMAKI JV150

    Might be ink on the Nozzle Check Unit LED or receiver, can just disable it to bypass the code. Most people turn it off since it takes a while to run nozzle checking and they don't like the added print time.
  7. Favorite RIP for Flatbed Printing

    Just using generic HosonSoft controllers, so 'most brands'.
  8. Question Mimaki cjv 150-160 with broken printhead

    You can run the printer in unidirectional mode and probably be fine, will just be really slow. Just need to make sure it is configured with only 4 colors, not 8. Try before buying of course.
  9. UCJV330 - Dropped black Head 1

    Wow, might be a firmware issue if I were to take a stab in the dark. Service mode: Hold Func1 and Func3 when booting, let go when you hear beep/firmware version shows on screen. Go to menu and should be an extra page for #ADJUST, #TEST, & #PARAMETER
  10. Question Service Manual for Mimaki JFX200-2513 EX ??

    Wrong thread, wrong printer. Sending me the exact thing in DM isn't going to get me to send you a manual or help you. If you cannot follow the most basic of instructions, you're going to need a professional to do it.
  11. UCJV330 - Dropped black Head 1

    Joy, wonder if a connection got bumped. Bust of luck. Thankfully the heaters are a cobbled together doohickey instead of an internal printhead heater line.
  12. Favorite RIP for Flatbed Printing

    Managed to figure out how to generate printer definition files for most RIPs, so that should help a ton. Right now I am looking into making a kit for old Oce Arizona and JFX200/JFX500 printers to convert over to modern heads/electronics. Seems both those printers are filling the market at a...
  13. Question Service Manual for Mimaki JFX200-2513 EX ??

    This is a thread about a JFX200 EX series printer, not a UCJV300. Since you cannot be bothered to check such a simple thing, I think giving you a service manual would just be a liability. While I am happy to welcome new forum members, people who just join, I get at least 2-3 people a week...
  14. UCJV330 - Dropped black Head 1

    The way the lines are run on the 330 is pretty dang tight. Had issues where a line got kinked or a damper got pulled up causing the head to have ink starvation. The first thing I would do is to make sure dampers are clipped in properly and lines look to be straight.
  15. Advice for repairing Mimaki CJV 300-160 Printer

    Might be easier to find a local supplier, and not a rare part by any stretch. Plus, being in New Zealand and all that.
  16. Advice for repairing Mimaki CJV 300-160 Printer

    If you replace the fuse, make sure to use the same amperage. If the fuse is bridged, it will blow your MOSFET board that fires the heads, another $2K+ part. Worth trying, but sound like you might have a big project on your hand.
  17. Advice for repairing Mimaki CJV 300-160 Printer

    If it is a printer you have guaranteed work for, might be worth running. If it were a case of 'it would be cool to have this working so I could print a few things' or similar, I would hold off. Not sure how things are in New Zealand, but the cost of the parts is close to what I'd pay to get 2...
  18. Need Help Getting a Mimaki UJF-3042 ready for transport – need advice

    If it's a MKII, do not take the unit apart. A MK1 is more doable. That said, if you torque the frame wrong and wreck alignment, can take days to get things running right. Seen this on both variants when it went wrong, and the printer basically became a parts unit. Quick addendum: The cost of...
  19. Need Help UJF-6042 MkII Head Temp. Control

    As one of the few techs that doesn't charge >$3K for a head swap on the UJF-6042MK1, I have worked on quite a few. Their heads are pretty durable, but better to use >10mL of ink a day than to lose a head. Aftermarket ink helps a lot in costs too, less stuff expiring 3 months after you get it as...
  20. Mimaki JFX200 & JFX200EX Firmware

    Typically has to be done by a technician using the Mimaki software tools.
