  • SP540V internal error

    Posted by Ben Shaw on 15 October 2007 at 08:41

    Hi there,

    My SP540V was working just fine yesterday, but today… I can print for about 30 seconds, then the printer says "cancelling job". When I try to turn it off it gives me either internal error 1650462 or 1280874. I haven’t changed anything since yesterday, except that I now have heaps of printing to do and no printer.

    Does anyone know the codes or a workaround?

    Thanks

    Did a yahoo search & came up with this from Dec 2005 on a U.S. printing forum.

    OK I heard back from the tech and it looks like you may have a bad Servo board. Aparently there was a bad batch of boards with a weak solder joint that can cause problems as the machine heats up. You will need to contact your dealer so they can replace the board.

    Alrighty then…
    they came today and replaced the servo board and everything is up and running again…
    they said that Roland had told them that there was a bad batch of them get out however my serial number showed that mine was not one of them…ya

    Might at least be a start.

    Sweet, thanks Dave. It has been hot today for the first time in a while, so I might try pointing all my fans and AC at the printer and turn the heaters down. See if that does anything.

    Thanks for the quick response.

    What are you printing on? Is it a full roll? Have you tried prefeeding the media into the printer so it isn’t pulling the roll?

    Using I get a Motor Error when I have this problem. It’s worth a try.

    I haven’t had any problems with motor errors except for once when I lent against the roll while it was printing. It didn’t like that.

    I pointed 2 fans and an air conditioner at the machine and managed to get one of the jobs done. I also turned the heaters down a bit. I guess my servo board is overheating then, but keeping it cold makes it work. I will hopefully get someone out to fix that shortly, but thanks for the information Dave as I probably wouldn’t have tried cooling it otherwise.

    Cheers
