ROLAND SP 300 - USE AS A CUTTER ONLY ?

I have one of the original sp-300 versacamms, got my min, 15 years of print / cut, but i am getting service call 0110 errors, and at this point Im debating weather to do a encoder strip ,print carage cable etc. or find a way to bypass the printing part of the machine as it is a pretty good cutter, the problem is wheter is does a self cleaning or i turn off then on, it tries to goes into the initial print carraige / head cleaning mode, which triggers the error, but there are times it will get to the actual cleaning mode, and i will be able to cut as a normal cutter ( just cant print as if i even try to get a print test the head comes out and i get the service 0110 error) So basically is there a way to disable the printer part of this machine and just use it as a 30" cutter?
