Have you been able to print on this machine before or are you setting it up for the first time? Are you using RIP software like Onyx? Or are you printing direct from the design program?

[h=3]Happy Printing[/h]Hi, This a big great infos given. The printer already used and printed before. And now after the printer Mutoh JV 1604 is turned on, initialized, then media is detected it be the Print is ready. However the "Not ready to Print" is displayed on the panel. Cannot even Test print or nozzle check. Do I need something or another ink code is needed. How to bypass this code? Thanks!.
Cycle the power
- Turn printer off
- Unplug printer
- Press power button 4 times
- Let machine sit for 45 minutes
- Plug printer directly into wall
- Power printer on
Do you still have the error after this?
Very familiar
Hi Im familiar with this msg. U have to use MSA and get info from printer in the form of the ulk. Then send it to mutoh and ask for a new code. Then you have to update the firmware via MSA before it will say ready to print again.
You will have to start the printer in Board manager mode. Set the ip to 192.168.0.253. Then connect to printer via MSA. Once connection is established you can save the ulk file and send it through to mutoh.
(in MSA)
- download the mpi file from printer
Let me know if it helps
