problem with JV3 ( Y Current)

[prateek kathuria]

I am facing problem with mimaki JV3 160sp, as soos as i start printing, head stops in the middle with an error message saying " Y Current ".
I am using OEM cartridges and facing problem with only yellow ink.

Y-current is a jam on the y-axis that the carriage travels on. Check for ink on the two silver rails, clean, and lubricate with 3in1 oil

by two silver rails do u mean the two silver movable guides?

i beleive he talking about the two silver bars the head rides on clean them well , then lube the up wit 3 and 1 oil . spread oil sparingly or you will get oil drops on your print .

i just use cotton gloves (or paper towel) that are wet with 3-in-1 and wipe the rails. Sometimes I do this as I start a long print, dodging the carriage as it travels left/right to make sure the carriage is helping me evenly spreading the lube.

The gloves help, since you can get behind the bars better with your fingertips.
