Print walking off the material

This print is walking off the page.... Is it a common problem?

All I did was repeatedly printed the same box and its flowing right off the page and I dare say it will print onto the machine itself if I just keep letting it go.

Try cleaning your encoder strip
I would bet that would fix it

K Ill do it...

 

[Jackflush]

Turn off power... lower capping station... take off side covers and top cover.... clean encoder left side then slide carriage and clean encoder right side....

Sound right?

 

[Jackflush]

Good God that was filthy.... Im going to print and see where Im at

 

[Fred Weiss]

Please post whether or not that fixes the issue.

OK!!!! ALL FIXED... PRINTING STRAIGHT DOWN THE RUNWAY!!!!

WHAT A MESSED UP COINKYDINK.

That problem flared up simultaneously during another problem i was fixing at the time.

THANK YOU POSTER

Glad that worked for you. Next time you clean it you shouldn't have to really take anything apart that I remember (at least from what I remember back with I had an SC540). Just raise the cover and clean the encoder. I loved my Roland printer but it did seem that once one problem came up another one was shortly behind.
