66duane, have you considered upgrading your computer? By the way, did you buy the Mutoh new or used?

It is designed to run ONLY on Windows 2000 or XP.
ISIS was released in 2002, and last updated in 2004.
It was a free RIP that did not take hold of the market.
It lists the Falcon Outdoor as supported.
You might need an activation code to install or activate, and it appears support ended somewhere around 2009.

ISIS alternative?
CS Sign Supply can offer you FlexiPRINT. Please let me know how I may help.

Flexi 8.1 will work too and there are dongleless versions moving around on the net to start you up. Just look around.
In mean time just perform some manual nozzle check to keep the heads clean.
Once the other day is enough.
As said if the ISIS is 100% working buy a 30$ XP machine with a parallel port and use it as a dedicated RIP machine.
BTW the fun just started.
Once it works you forget all the troubles.

Do This.
Or go to a Pawn Shop, check out the local Salvation Army and Goodwill Thrift Stores and pick one up running XP or even XP Pro.
Goodwill and Salvation Army both check the computers out and wipe everything but the OS, and you can usually pick them up for around $100 if they have anything in stock.
well the latest saga in a ole mans quest!
to print at least one something or another if it kills me,,, I got a lap top with windows xp on it,, guess what the software loaded, its a acer but has some sparkle in one corner and the rest is used,,, i loaded the thing and sure enough it was a 30day trial deal and at the end of the 30days you had to enter another code,, well i call a really nice guy a mutah and he emailed me the key,, break and i had hope,, well after messing around all day i never got the printer to be recognized by the software but the computer did but cant find the one thing that shakes the hands, when I went to print something i get a error code of 123445 and for the life of me that means nothing and i cant find it in the book,,,,,,, anyone want to help a old guy? I sure could use it,,,,,,,,,, thanks

sadly, buying a 10-12 year old printer can often be more hassle than its worth. especially if you're buying from the previous owner. There are some mechanical parts on there that people are still interested in (its hard to find parts for those old machines), so even if you don't use it as a printer, it may not be a total loss!
im already eating dog
busicuts and stale bread over this darn thing,,,,,,,, i downloaded a cheap trial rip program and it printed its logo and ran its oh darn i forgot what its called but still cant get the yellow to run out,, any suggestions,,,, sometimes ya see it faint and theres yellow in the print head,,,mmmmm big hammer or small hammer,,,,,,, i dont do enough printing to spend all that money,, i thought i would be easier on this ole guy to print some of the stuff instead of layering it but,, wifey has my insurance and will in her hand, said i dont look good,,,,,,, come on guys help me meeeeeee im failing fast! id even pay for a techie to come and get it right,,,,,,,,another month of doggie biscuits ..........

Check Mutoh's website for a local tech that can come and check the machine. I don't know what you paid but the bill for the tech and any parts you need could exceed the purchase price of a used machine like that, depending on the time and parts needed. My JR was a PITA as well and got traded in for a new printer.
You can keep complain but you can als head a positive way as long as it prints something.
1] Show the test print so we can see what fails.
2] Did you perform any cleaning sofar?
3] How look the dampers? Empty-full-half full.
4] Does the wiper move/slide or is it stuck due to dried up ink?
Let us know so we can assist to TRY to get you running or at least we can advise in which state your machine is currently.
