Excellent!

As a former US Navy electronics technician from the days of tubes, I would say this. Back in the day, when each component was an individual part, and schematics had each individual part showing, troubleshooting electronics was a matter of skill and logic in determining which component was the...

To start, the printer is not likely to recognize the chips on the cartridges. I would suggest seeing if the supplier will swap out the inks.

Here's the SG-540 user menu. Is yours different from this?

Were you able to solve your problem?

If you are using TR2 inks, you can't get in Service mode, only an on-site Roland certified tech can. However, you should run the bi-directional detail alignment in the user menu. See attached...

What do your job prints look like? Print a file that has some fine detail and, ideally, something with small text. If you see this same "double" image, you need to run the bi-directional alignment. If you can get into service mode, start there and then do the user bidirectional alignment.

No need to apologize. Yes, I do and I'm very familiar with the XC-540. In fact, I'm in the process of parting out a XC-540. Call me anytime. Phone number is in my signature. Sorry for the delay in responding, still cleaning up from Milton.

A friendly suggestion when requesting help. You have already started requesting help on the post - https://www.signs101.com/threads/service-motor-error-0080-and-0010.53330/page-2#post-1656323. It helps with continuity from techs to post about a problem on a single thread, rather than starting...

Reassemble the cutter head and bearing block, if you haven't already. Now, move the cutter head at slowly and listen to see if the clunk repeats itself at a regular interval every couple of inches. If so, as mentioned by cornholio, clean both belt pulley wheels, looking for something to be stuck...

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Did you remove the cutter head from the bearing block? Once I understand this statement, I can suggest something...

Either the bearing block for cutter head has buildup inside or it is going bad. Try to flush out the bearing with alcohol. Take a syringe and gently squirt alcohol into either side, top and bottom, while moving the cutter head back and forth a small amount to try to remove any buildup...

When you did the Initialization, did you insure the head carriage was locked in place before starting the steps? Clean the pulleys with alcohol. Also check the belt itself and make sure there is nothing stuck in the teeth anywhere. In addition, clean the guide rail with alcohol, make sure to...

Assuming your printer is new and under warranty, the dealer needs to fix this issue. This appears to be an electronic issue revolving the print heads.

You're welcome!

It's a mechanical lock. Using both hands (more movement control) push the carriage SLOWLY into the home position. You will hear two faint clicks, stop immediately, and then put your hand on the right side of the carriage and try to push it to the left. If you are successful, it will not move. It...

Just lock the printhead carriage into place over the capping station. If you are having trouble locking it, as it can be tricky, just push the head carriage all the way to the right. this will raise the capping station mechanically and you should be good. A suggestion - as we don't know how long...

Based on the picture of the bottom of the printhead, it does not appear that the head is being wiped... Please attach a pic of the wiper.
