1604 Roll Length in Setup Menu
- Thread starter Sparky
- Start date
Nope. Not really.
What I ave learned is that it is for estimating how much is left on the roll - How much is left on Roll 1 - Roll 2 - Roll 3, etc... This would be really helpful!
What I can't find is how you set how long the roll is to start.
Might just go and set it to Roll 1 and see what it thinks I loaded, and hope it doesn't unroll the entire thing to find out!

No it will not unroll the entire thing.
It is a countdown function.
Set Roll 1 to the length of your media. i.e. 50 meters, print 10 meters and it should show 40 meters remaining.
If you change media, you will either need to change to a new Roll function or turn it off and change it back when you start printing Roll 1 again.

Sparky I ran into the same problem when I first purchased the 1604 ValueJet. I figured out that it either has to do with A.)Not enough tension on the roll, so the printer thinks the roll is done B.) You gotta extend the roll length in your RIP software. Not the actual length of the artwork but the length of the media vertically. Extend it way past the job length to ensure it prints the whole job! I use FlexiSIGN-Pro 8.5.
I would be printing a 10ft. panel & it would just stop & say "End of Roll" on a brand new roll. So as soon as I did those adjustments I haven't had the problem since!

Yeah, I was trying to ,make the roll length in the RIP (Flexi 8.5 as well) as long as I could and it stops about 25' short of the whole roll. I haven't tried extending my print boundaries, but will try it. The only thing I have found that almost religiously works (So long as you remember) is to reload the printer before you it print. Seems to confuse just how much vinyl has passed through. I just remembered this after waking up Sunday morning and being 2.5 panels short of what I told it to do...
The media sensor on the 1604 is located in the center of machine, right behind the pinch rollers.
There is a circular cutout with the sensor located underneath.
If you are having 'End of Roll' errors , please contact your dealer.

Here is an example of what I have it set up. It works perfect for any type of job. I print anything from 50ft. Big Rigs to 10ft. Banners to 8inch decals. Also make sure the canvas is bigger then the artwork as well. Each time I set up for a job I don't necessarily 'Reload' my Media if using same Media type, but I do take out the slack on the roll itself & then make sure you have it pulled tight then put the lever down to secure roll.
