Falcon Outdoor Jr 38"...HELP!

yeah, we tried that as well.
we also tried to align the paper way to the left just to see if we get an error that was way off base, but we didn't. we got the same error, undefined paper.
it is really frustrating now, because i have ink in the lines and ink coming out of the heads, and ink coming from the black and color waste lines so i want to print to see if i did a good job of cleaning.
i am afraid that if i let it sit another 4 days it will clog up again.

The edge of the paper should be centered on the line of holes along the right hand side. The video shows it overlapping the holes by about 1/4 inch.
Right here...lol I do have a business to run.

we already tried putting the paper every place that we could imagine. however, i just got back from placing them over the holes you were referring to, still got the same error.
thanks and i understand about running the business, that comes first.
i tried unplugging the sensor that sits right between the knife and the black head, got the same error.
i tried unplugging the 3 wire plug that plugs into h align and as soon as i turned the machine on, the unit errors. so that seems to be telling me that sensor is working fine.
other than that, the only other connections i see are for the wide ribbon looking cables.

A few more suggestions.
Cut about a foot of material off so you have new media to test with.
Check the vacuum settings. Try it on high and low.
Have you got the limit switch that is on the right hand side of the machine set so that it is activated? When the door is closed it activates a switch. If that switch is not activated it will come up as an error. Usually it reads "LID OPEN" though.

Sounds like either a bad sensor or connection as you are geting the same error.
Hopefully you've disconnected it somewhere up line while working on the heads.

going to go try now. although, i didn't mess with the vacuum settings at all.
thanks for the suggestion
thats what i was hoping as well, but everything is plugged in where it is supposed to.
i did unplug the h align plug just to see what would happen and sure enough, when i turn the machine on i got an error and the panel started flashing.
as soon as i plugged that sensor in again, everything worked fine, up until the undefined paper.
what really gets me is that when i put it back together one afternoon i turned it on, it confirmed the paper and i turned the machine back off to go home for the night.
when i came back the next day, i turned it on, and i got undefined paper. funny because nothing changed over night, yet i got an error.

Try turning off the overhead lights.
Did you check the limit switch?
Did you check the limit switch?
i haven't moved my machine and i have had the cover off since the beginning of the week when is started the maintenance.
also, i tried this yesterday. i left the lights off and tried starting the unit 15 times, same error.
what/where is a limit switch?

sorry, missed that.
the mutoh technician taped that switch shut when he was here a year ago, so i can open the lid while it is printing.
