Hi Chris,
Is the machine getting data and moving the head side to side to print, or is it just sat in the docking area doing nothing.
If its the first maybe try a couple of head cleans, if its not doing anything I’d imagine its a connection problem, can you "verify" the machine from versaworks (it’ll tell you if the machine is reachable)

yer it moves like its printing,but as i look under the head it isn’t toughing the vinyl surface
versaworks says all s good ,sends data ok??cleans heads ok.
would it have to do with the reset hole near the ink plug bottle??
i think i may have pushed it up thinking it had to do with moving the unit. -
The head doesnt actually touch the service mate just flys over it.
Try doing a test print from the button on the front panel, you should get four dotted bands (one for each colour) if you dont then theres something far deeper than just a head clean. If its patchy or theres odd bits missing then try a manual clean.

Sounds to me like you have an air block in the ink pipes, try doing a couple of powerful cleans, we had the same issue when we moved recently.
