Unidirectional Problems?

[SellersSign&Design]

I have the 42" L25500 and Flexi rip. When I try to print in unidirectional mode, the printer sounds like it is going to come apart and usually ends up stopping and popping up the substrate jam error. The carriage looks like it is chattering all the way across instead of running smoothly. Any ideas?

think you need to clean up some.....substrate advance sensor, substrate jam reflector

I will give that a try. The only thing it is showing under maintenance is lube carriage rails. I am going to get some oil and do that also and see what happens.

It is a bit more involved than simply re-applying new oil to the carriage rails. Make sure that you are using the proper type of oil, as not all oils are recommended.

Here is a link to a video on the subject for your printer model (HP Latex L25500):

Thanks for the video link. In my search for this oil, I found a thread where people said any high quality synthetic oil such as sewing machine or paper shredder oil would work. I was planning on getting one or the other and a lint free cloth and trying that.
