JV3-160SP 4-color bars before each print

[caper121]

Hello

Bought a used JV3 and am trying to get it running. I've had to replace three heads and I still need to adjust them. Well once I got all the heads to print the test pattern, I hooked the machine up to a computer and sent it some test jobs from FlexiSign and now a 4-color bar prints out before the actual sent print job starts. It doesn't do this when printing test patterns from the machine, it only does this when it's sent a job from the computer. Any ideas of what this might be?

"print color band" was not checked/enabled in flexisign. I'm using flexisign 10. I did enable it to see if it would print (chose print on bottom) and it printed an additional color band. Is there a setting in the printer's menu perhaps?

do you have a operator's manual? linked here, cause I'm a nice guy.
The "Color Pattern" option is somewhere in the Print Mode options, I believe.
been a long time since I operated mine, so I don't know exactly where you'll have to dig but I'm sure you can figure it out

Thank you Mike. I'll check through the options tomorrow and update the thread.

Problem solved! It was a setting in the print setup called "COLOR PTN. It was set to n and I toggled it to ff

set up/select :type.1/ COLOR PTN. <ent> / ff



Thanks for the help!
