In the default setting, Versaworks overrides the machine value.

Having the manual doesn't make you a service technician, much less an experienced one. Buying and replacing parts out of the blue brings you close to the 2k pretty quickly, but not necessarily closer to a working printer. A little hint: The HP ink system uses pressure, not vacuum. So the APS...

If it's the encoder, then it's the one on the scan motor. (Printing uses the encoder strip and printing works) Maybe replugging the cable connections helps. I can't remember having this on Mimakis, but I had it twice on Roland VS. There, the carriage crashed into the left side with full speed...

If you use original ink and parts, it's not necessary to do such things.

The only cutters doing this right, are the Summa T Series Flexcut. Roland has officially hidden the perfcut function for quite some time...

Are you using original ink cartridges?

What ink do you use? With J-Tek ink, there are about 3 different black inks available...

A actual Flex will also work with almost every printer and cutter on the market.

If it's the timing belt jumping, I was able to reproduce it by cutting diagonal rectangles. This problem happened to me only once. Most of the time, it's the blade holder or blade... especially if you use the cheap Chinese BS.

Could be one of the small timing belts jumping. I had this once with a CG 130. The belt was likely installed with a too high tension.

The old Summas show such a behaviour when they get old. (10-15 years) There is a small round piece of "rubbery foam" inside the solenoid, that stops the upward movement of the tool. Over time, this piece of foam gets compressed and there is a delay, when the tool starts the movement downwards...

I just keep a ISO image of a FC disk and mount it, when I need to install a FC. BTW, "upgrades" in the download section are full versions .

For Finecut, the disk is the key. As long, as you have the disk, you can even update to the latest version.

What is the the internal date of the printer? (Time and date setting may be wrong) Is the firmware outdated? (Available online)

This is highly likely the the supply or takeup mechanism.Give it a little grease.

VP's only have 4 heads... Problem is, that the mainboards of these printers fail and are no longer available from Roland. If it's not a VPi, then you won't have IPC and this is likely to give banding, except all heads print perfectly.

This is really strange. Do you use Versaworks to print? Have you done a nozzlecheck immediately after it prints with banding?

I found it... 2x 420-024 wheel segmented 2x 420-025 wheel full 4x ND50200-9995 4x ND50000-9008

Hi, you either need to replace cassette roller(s). That's relatively easy and shouldn't cost too much. But it's likely those driven rubbery wheels in the carriage, that turn brittle and eventually even crack.(I can't find the number in the SM and my mail archive was deleted, when we needed to...
