Sounds like it needs the flushing position setting correctly

Flushing position? what is that as i have set the limit on it

[Julian Mildner]

There is a setting to adjust how far right that the head travels during printing.
It needs to travel far enough to be above the caps so that when it does a spit, it lands in the caps but not too far right that it hits the capping post on the capping station. If it is set too far to the right, it will hit the capping station on every pass causing the bumping sound.

[Paul.Gadsdon]

Right

Is that not called limit initialization?? If so I have done this, seems that I might have to do it again

Cheers

[Julian Mildner]

no, its called "FLUSHING ADJ"

[Paul.Gadsdon]

Right well I need to get to the service menu to do this and I dont know the code, I have used left, right, up and power bur it says that the "service menu is protected"

Anyone know what the code is for a VP300?

Cheers

Backwards ‘S’, backwards ‘V’.

Down, right, left, up, then down, left and right at the same time and power on.

[Paul.Gadsdon]

[quote="Stafford Cox"]Backwards ‘S’, back wards ‘V’.

Thanks for your help but what does backwards ‘S’, back wards ‘V’ mean?

😳

[Paul.Gadsdon]

Many Many Thanks

I was working on an older Roland SC today and the service mode pattern is different. Try one of these two:

Up, left, right, down, left, right, down, then hold left, right and down and power on.
Up, left, right, down, left, down, right, then hold left, right and down and power on.

I think it’s the second one.

What firmware version is it using?

Thanks I will try both but is this with the sub power on or off?

cheers

[Stafford Cox]

Main power on, sub power off. Key in the magic pattern of arrows then sub power on with the bottom 3 buttons held in. Don’t forget to stand on one leg with a light westerly breeze blowing outside :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:
