Mutoh End of Roll message

[FTG]

Im printing banner on our Mutoh valu jet and about a foot into the print I keep getting the "End of Roll" message. Theres only about 15 feet left on the roll. I've tried printing directly off the roll and unrolling it a few feet so it will feed easier and niether is working. Any ideas?

This is the sensor on the rear being to sensitive.
Can sometimes be the branding on the liner causing this.
Just cover it over mine has for 4 years.
Just never let the stock run out!!!!!

Cover the sensor light with a piece of transfer tape.
Remember though with this covered it won't know when the end is actually there so you will have to watch it.

Sometimes when our roll length is 50"+, we get these errors as well when it gets near to the end of the roll. Our printer operators would roll the media in the back so that there is a good bit of slack hanging just above the ground behind the printer. This usually solves most of our end of roll messages; if that did not work for you, it's most likely a sensor issue as others have suggested.

We do the same thing covering up the sensor.

We do the same thing on a 4" roll that we cut off a 54"

Question I have, is what happens when the roll actually runs out? Does it continue to print?

+1 for covering sensor

And yes it will continue printing so you should always keep an eye on it once it's close to end

One of the first things we have done on our mutoh osprey, covering the sensor.

Thanks for the input, I covered the sensor after it did it the second time, also tried unrolling the media but that didn't work. I was looking for more of a long term fix but covering the sensor is easy enough and it isnt hard to check the media. Thanks!
