HELP! SP-300 "Sheet Set Error"

[RPMGraphics]

I have a sp-300 that when you pull the set lever down for the pinch rollers it shows a "sheet set error" set again as soon as the handle goes down, I know on my sp-540v printer it has showed that before but after it tried to scan the rollers and I replace the encoder strip to fix that problem but this one won't start to scan before the error pops up. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

Only other thing I can think of is to make sure the rollers are in the silver strips.

Cut Carriage Cable

Stop messing with the encoder strip... it has nothing to with looking for pinch wheels.

You have a micro break in your cut carriage cable. This is a common issue.
The cut carriage cable carries three signals from the cut carriage to the mainboard...

1. Cropmark Sensor
2. Pinch wheel Sensor
3. Contour Knife Downforce Data

This cable will need to be replaced along with the two plastic guides in the track (approx $50 parts). Quick replacement.
See parts list below.

These parts are available from your preferred Roland dealer (most stock these common parts).
This is an easy repair, but you should consult your dealer/tech for advise.

Note: While the cables are out, it would be a good time to clean out the track real good with isopropyl alcohol then use some Dry Teflon fluid (liquid application, quick dry) to coat the surfaces inside the track. This will help to prevent the cable/guides from kinking in the track.

Merry Christmas!

Is the lead or first roller located within one of the first THREE silver spots? One roller must be located in one of those three spots for ours to work .
