I upgraded it to a sp-300v with the number 7 dip switch.(It didn't print before I did that either)New dampers,lines,scrapers,wipers,changed print heads wont print checked fuses a1,a2 they are good.Acts like it wants to print just nothing comes out.Did a ink pull comes threw heads no issues.I replaced the heads due to other ones being clogged is there something I need to put in the machine as far as programing the heads? Thank you for any information in advance.

When ink flows but it doesn't print it's almost always the fuses on the main board. I have had many customers test the fuse and say it was fine when it wasn't. Won't hurt to change them out. If the fuses on the main board are fine, the heads might be damaged. There really isn't anything else that would cause both head to not fire at all.

Awesome. I worked for Jim and Debbie at Digital Visuals but I think they moved since. It's been over 10 years. I used to work in the Middletown mall too and it was dead back then too!

Since you changed print heads, it is possible that the head cable is damaged or not seating properly. I head a CJ-500 use to gave me those problems, also try a self test. some cases you may need to enter those numbers came with your print head, and reconfigure and re start the unit, see what happens...
