Ink configuration

I have a Roland sc545ex.. it's a 6 color cmyklclm printer... they have the same printer that has an ink configuration of cmykww and cmykwmt...my question is there a hardware difference between the machines? Or is it all software? I can't find in the service menu where u can change between those ink configurations? Just wanna understand how it recognizes between the 3?

There is no physical difference between the configurations. It's just a firmware setting. I have never changed that specific model over to another configuration but most printers require you to go into the parameters and change a setting there to change over. Usually there isn't a menu item for it. You probably just have to reset to factory default.

Ok, so If I reset to factory defaults, what would be the next step? would it ask for those different ink configs, or would it be in the service menu? Thanks VanderJ for the help

Not true. The white ink printer has a recirculating ink pump system for the white channels. Whole different printer
