    measuring media

    Posted by Michael Tremarco on 23 August 2007 at 13:43

    Hello 🙂
    I change the media roll size in my Sp540 but the printer reads them wrong. I have just put a 500mm vinyl in and it is reading 350mm. I have moved the media clamps as shown by the guide but the arm only goes about 4/5ths along then returns and gives me the 350mm measurement. Even when I first changed the roll after installation to try other media, when I put the original roll back it read it shorter than it first stated .
    I think that you can override the unit with versaworks, but why is the unit not reading the correct media width? Any help will be most appreciated
    Cheers

    Hi Michael
    I think you will find it is the outer most rollers it measures to and not your media clamps. Try moving your rollers.

    Cheers
