Hi Roffs.
The picture isn’t too clear but from what I can see, it looks like a MASSIVE feed compensation value. Have you run the media comp setting (2 gray bars)? From local, press function and then keep pressing enter until it starts printing something. Post a picture up of what it looks like 😉

cheers Stafford, i will give it a go in the morning and let you know what happens!. I had a error code 50 this morning so that might answer that? i cleaned the media sensor and encoder strip ut was getting worse as the day went on !

Just been swatting up and media sensor issue keeps popping up, question is does this sensor snap in to place in its holder? Or could someone post a pic of one in place so I can see if mines buggered?
Cheers

Error 50 is definitely a media sensing error. More often than not, the media sensor has had a knock and the clips have broken off. You can replace it or do a repair with blue tack 😉
I would also check that the lack strip in the gulley of theplaten is clean too. It picks up the media by scanning the media against that dark strip and as it’s often dusty, that where it fails.

Just a quickie update:
Have been told its a software issue so have been told to re install the printer driver, I done this today and will keep you informed tomorrow!
Cheers
