Pinch Roller Lever locked

[midnightmadman]

I put all the covers on, but the lever that raises the pinch roller will not unlock- "go up" without having the side cover off and pulling out that spring loaded pin?
Is there a sensor that controls that pin or is something else wrong?
Thanks!

Open the cover, push the print head to the right and than raise the lever at the same time. This is a very common problem that "develops" with Mutohs. Just one of those things I was told a while back.

Oh I see. So when the print head sets into the capping station it is supposed to physicaly push that spring loaded lever out...
That doesnt seem like its going to work to well ever

usually means the Head is not capping exactly right.......... That is, given the lever mechanism is operating properly... The way around it is to slightly "bend out" the piece of metal where it locks... It is very common on this machine.
