Problem Shooting
Self inspection when started up: Refer to the self-inspecting function.
The printing software can’t connect printer until passing self-inspection.
Problem Shooting:
If the printer fails to self-inspect when electrified.
1,If no light of print head control board is lit, please check the 42V power supply on USB
main board and the 24V power supply on cap-top driver board.
If the power supply is normal, please check all cables' connections in PCBs, and make
sure all pins are connected well. (The cable connection of new board and old board is
different, please contact Wit-Color after-sales service department for support. )
2.If the scraper fails to work due to the damaged motor, then you may need to change a
new motor.
3.If the scraper does not move with the motor running, then it means the NC limit sensor
is damaged.
4.If nozzles fail to self inspect, then same solution with scraper, please refer to Case 2.
5.If the carriage does not move after scraper and nozzles’ self inspection, please check
the driver's cable connection and indicators;
6.If the carriage moves to the opposite direction, then please check whether the X-axis
and Y-axis driver’s cable is connected in reverse.
7.If the media can only go forward and can’t go backward, please check the driver’s
cable connection.
8.If there is no ink jetted after self-inspection completed, then please check the print head
indicators.
66
While printing
1, If sucking with no ink, please check the coincidence of capping nozzles and print
heads’nozzles. Moreover, please check if air leak happens in the tube connected to ink
pump and nozzles.
2, If the media feeding is off tracking, please reinstall the media.
Installation: The media shall be fixed on the media feeding bar by one person.
Meanwhile, another person should stretch and align the media on the printing panel.
If there still exists off-tracking problem, please contact Wit-Color after-sales service
department.
3, If the size of actual printing and original picture is different, then you may adjustment
of media feeding speed slightly.
4.If there is obvious overlapping and overstepping, please check the feather value.
For high resolution requirement, feather value ranges in 5%-15% 。Smaller the feather
value, more accurate the stepping requires. For common customer, we suggest the feather
value is around 100%
5,Ink Supply Alert. If ink pump can not absorb the ink for a long time, you need to
change ink. Open the cover and click the reset button.
