  1. Brother 6 head not booting up! Paralysis!!

    My 6 head Brother is paralyzed: I checked my incoming voltage, all 8 fuses, E-stop buttons, etc. The fans in the powerhouse are running, nothing looks burned, everything seems fine, except it does not do its usual alignment/centering sequence upon bootup, and the control pad does not light up...
  2. Discussion Plotter/Cutter of Choice?

    We run a Summa T series, and in like 15 years, I replaced ONE part: a ten dollar belt, this past summer. And plenty of blades this thing is a practically flawless workhorse.
  3. Persistent error code E-05 on brother BES 6 head: (Stop position error.)

    Waking up a long-dormant 6 head Brother. It does a lot of stopping on 150 instead of 100, throwing that E-05 code. We manually push it back to 100 and start up again. Does it a lot, with no discernable reason, needle position, or any other pattern...it just does it. Any ideas? Other than that it...
  4. Can't believe no mention of it, yet...................................................... ??

    Apparently trumpiness isn't selling as well as it was s'posta. :D I guess americans narrowly stepped around the dogshit for once, in a first midterm. Congrats!
  5. Client refusing payment

    I know of a shop that has done several repos after dark, and a few in broad daylight. One time they were on a roof taking down the sign while the guy was on the ground calling the cops; man did that thing come down quick, and it was so much fun. I would not reccommend doing this, but hey, they...
  6. "UNRECOVERABLE LIMIT SENSOR" error. Can't run limit inititalizing procedure.

    On my t shirt press, position sensors show a light when on. I wish these did that, it'd be easier to tell...but I think that is partly what happened here.
  7. "UNRECOVERABLE LIMIT SENSOR" error. Can't run limit inititalizing procedure.

    Yup. That is what happened, twice actually. I left the head in low position and tried to print bannerstock. The head separated once jamming from the right, then from the left. I think I took a little print head damage in the debacle, but gonna do a good soak and clean, & hopefully get most or...
  8. "UNRECOVERABLE LIMIT SENSOR" error. Can't run limit inititalizing procedure.

    Sure did. Is the limit sensor the one that straddles the encoder strip, or is that the one that reads the bracket above the cutting head? the sensor map says it's the one above the cutting head, stationary on the back wall. Well anyway, I cleaned them both to no avail. HEY WAIT! WITH NO RHYME...
  9. "UNRECOVERABLE LIMIT SENSOR" error. Can't run limit inititalizing procedure.

    Crashed my XC 540 Roland, at first I got scan motor error, then when I went to do limit initializin, it went to 'Unrecoverable limit sensor". So: ?new sensor? or can I test it somehow? Same for scan motor?
  10. Couple Gerber 7.0 quirks after upgrading!

    Couple things vexing us now that we upgraded to composer 7.0: Ungroup does not seem to work, so I cant slide items around, even when I cutpaste a repeat of the text, and in plotting mode, there are panel cutlines imposed that I don't need, and in the plotter settings it will not accept that my...
  11. Font ID

    I know this isn't very helpful but that sign was created by hand, before digital fonts were used to fabricate signage, and hopefully you can get close by just plowing around for similar stuff. Filter down to art deco in your search.
  12. Cutawl parts?

    Anyone know where I can order a drive belt for my Cutawl K10? Mine's about to go Mick Jagger.
  13. XC 540 Connectivity issue, need help

    We run direct, ethernet cable PC to printer. We put our fresh reload of VW 2.0 back in with our disc, but it won't start up; asking for a dongle or printer settings, which we can't access because of no VW bootup. Should we download that 5.6 from the link? -- Vicious circle, isn't it?
  14. XC 540 Connectivity issue, need help

    We re-installed VW 2.0, and it wont open for us, it puts up a message saying dongle not attached or printer settings invalid. We never needed a dongle and the printer settings are what they were all along; (i assume it means IP address) So, how can we even check them, since VW won't even open...
  15. XC 540 Connectivity issue, need help

    Reload of VW 2.0 complete, but not opening. It's asking for a mysterious dongle or printer settings.
  16. XC 540 Connectivity issue, need help

    What would you describe as the network area? probably the little silver box on the board where the cable attaches? I I could warm that up with a heat gun a bit. Suppose that works and indicates the electronic issue, who if anyone can repair that kind of thing, or do I just buy a new main board?
  17. XC 540 Connectivity issue, need help

    We compared the two numbers, both on the machine and in the VW printer setup window, to make sure they are the same several times, and tried new numbers too, all to no effect so far.
  18. XC 540 Connectivity issue, need help

    Did not do a re-install. Will try that next, thanks!
