Pinch roller error on SP 300 V

[TNT]

I have an pinch roller error on my SP 300 V. Has any body had this problem. Is it a sensor and how hard is it to change?

Its usually related to misplacement of the media clamp/rollers, try moving them to a different position

If your pinch rollers are in aligned correctly and you are still getting the error then it's going to be your flex cable.

That is the case. Is the flex cable is the 1 in wide flat wire that connects the heads to the rest of the machine?

 

[ballgame]

That's the one, the white cable laying down with two clear strips on either side.

Does the error message say: "Pinch roll error, invalid position?" or not? That's key to figuring out the problem, in my opinion. If it does, it's just a matter of repositioning the pinch rollers.

Just curious, why are you guys convinced that TNT has the pinch rollers set incorrectly?

Thought so

Just curious, why are you guys convinced that TNT has the pinch rollers set incorrectly?

Because its a very common error message, and the easiest to remedy
