Mimaki take up roll never shuts off

Then something is possibly wrong because when you click the on /off button on our CJV 150-130 it turns off and stays off until you go to cut the media off of the roll.

 

In my experience the take-up only rolls when a job is printing/cutting or if you scroll the media forward it will roll until you allow it to go back to it's origin point. You should be able to change how it works though. In the Setup menu there should be a sub menu for the Take-Up settings. In there you can fiddle around and see if it does what you want. I honestly never mess with those settings so can't help much but they are there if you feel like dialing it in to your liking.

 

The one in the lab doesn't shut off either. Annoying to have media flapping around when you're trying to print a small job.

TUR on my Mutoh needs two things to function. It has to be turned on and the dancer bar has to "see" enough slack to activate.

 

That's weird because I shut mine off all the time.

 

You should be able to shut it off as you need, though many functions of the printer will cause it to reactivate - adjusting feed position, sending a new job, mounting a new roll, etc.

 

Yeah that should not run all the time. It only runs when needed on our JV150 but yes, it is a bit different than the old style on the JV33 and JV3 machines. I wonder if there is a firmware issue or something?
