Hi Team - me again.... printer is printing beautifully - however I am noticing when the printhead takes off across the width the flex cable doesn't flow off nicely with it... it makes a funny sound and I had a look at the printhead running and the cable doesn't get a smooth run off at the start...

Well it was lots of reading this forum, trial and error but printer is now up and running after a month and a half... backlog of work to catch up on... but so happy. So thankful to this signs101 for all the discussions, tips, help. I really could not have been back up and running without...

Hi all. I have changed the flex cable and put printer back together. I did a limit initialization as it came up on the service menu. However I was thinking I would need to do a encoder check on that service menu but I can't get past the 'limit initialization' when the service menu opens. I...

I have the old ones and made sure the holes were in the same place. Yes everything is clean and ink free. The printer is in very good condition... apart from the guides... and will look for a new ribbon cable. Thank you Jim.

Thank you Jim. My cable is bunching up at the top by the carriage... the cable looks tidy the same as in the pdf you tagged me in... but when the carriage starts to move across the bottom flexicable starts to bunch up along that little channel. It isn't flowing smoothly off from the starting...

Is it possible to put the first 300 mm of both the flexi cable and the white cable in a sleeve together for the first maybe 300 mm (or less) from the cutter head attachment along so that the bottom flexicable does not bunch up? Yes I did put all the rivets in the same place. Thank you...

It is very difficult to find the parts. I have 3 cables that have been sent that aren't even the width of what I ordered :)

The cable from the printer/cutter head to the Main Board has been replaced because the cable got caught when the printerhead was going back and forth while printing. I managed to find parts from America, Indonesia and Germany and replaced the cable with new flex cable covers. The printer has...

Just want to say how helpful these photos were... have replaced cable, sensor all ... nothing working, looking at replacing another sensor etc and thought I had a faulty carriage cable and looked at your photo on the mainboard and thought I might check that the writing part is in the same way...

Thank you will look at that info! :) I didn't take them off I just cleaned them with IPA and I think I softened the plastic... eek.

The plastic guides on either side of the cable kinked while doing the test print - I think I have made them soft :( maybe from the IPA and they aren't staying together. Oh my encoder strip is all good it is the flexi cable above the encoder.

How were you able to rebuild it? glue?

Hi everyone. I have just replaced the encoder strip and thought I would clean my printer while it was apart. I cleaned the length of the cable that is attached to the print head that goes back and forth while printing. I have put everything back together again and done a test print. The...
