What to do if an error occurs in my MIMAKI APC-130 Plotter when the host computer sends data?
If an error occurs in the machine when the host computer sends data to your MIMAKI Plotter, it could be due to incorrect communication conditions or wrong operation. Check the communications conditions and ensure you are operating the machine correctly.
What to do if my MIMAKI APC-130 has misalignment occurs in cutting?
If misalignment occurs during cutting with your MIMAKI Plotter, consider the following possible causes: * The pinch rollers and grit rollers might not securely retain the sheet. Check their position and adjust them. * The selection of clamp pressure (strength mode) may not be proper. * Slack in the roll sheet can cause meandering or skewing. Remove slack and align the roll edges before feeding. * The sheet may be contacting the floor surface. Decrease the cutting speed (SPEED). * Insufficient side margins beside the pinch rollers. Provide a side margin of 20 mm or more on each side. * Sheet expansion or contraction due to environmental factors. Use the pre-feed function to acclimate the sheet.
What to do if my MIMAKI APC-130 cut part became a dotted line?
If the cut part on your MIMAKI Plotter is appearing as a dotted line, consider these potential causes: * The screw for the tool holder might be loose. Tighten the knob of the tool holder. * The cutter blade might be protruding excessively. Adjust the blade protruding amount to the proper one. * The blade might be chipped or worn out. Replace the blade with a new one. * The rotation of the blade might be dull. Replace the holder with a new one.
What to do if my MIMAKI Plotter tool is dragged during operation and leaves unexpected cutter imprints?
If the tool is dragged during operation on your MIMAKI Plotter, leaving unexpected cutter imprints, consider the following: * The sheet may be warped. Attach it so that the sheet is not warped. * The tool may not be moving up/down successfully. Turn the power OFF and try to lift/ lower the tool holder by hand. If the tool holder does not move up but remains in the lower position, contact your distributor or our service office. * The side margins of the media beside the pinch rollers are not enough. Provide a side margin of 20 mm or more on each side of the media beside the pinch rollers.
Why is my MIMAKI APC-130 not turning on?
If your MIMAKI Plotter is not turning on, it might be due to the power cable not being securely connected. Ensure the power cable of the machine is securely connected to the outlet.
Why does a communication error occur before receiving data on my MIMAKI APC-130 Plotter?
A communication error before receiving data on your MIMAKI Plotter could be due to turning on the devices in the wrong order. Before turning on the power of the plotter, turn on the host computer first.
What to do if my MIMAKI APC-130 Plotter shows 'E R R 0 2 MA I N R AM'?
If your MIMAKI Plotter displays the error 'E R R 0 2 MA I N R AM', it indicates an error occurred in the control RAM. Buy one through the dealer in your region or at our service office.
What to do if my MIMAKI Plotter shows 'E R R 1 6 A U T O I / F'?
If your MIMAKI Plotter displays the error 'E R R 1 6 A U T O I / F', it means the command automatic recognition could not be performed. Set the command name.
What does it mean if my MIMAKI Plotter displays 'E R R 3 0 O P E R A T I ON'?
If your MIMAKI Plotter displays the error 'E R R 3 0 O P E R A T I ON', it means an improper operation was conducted on the operation panel. Operate this machine correctly.
What to do if my MIMAKI Plotter shows 'E R R 1 5 A U T O F E E D'?
If your MIMAKI Plotter displays the error 'E R R 1 5 A U T O F E E D', it could be due to a failure in feeding the sheet by the length specified by the ZX command or during split cutting. If the host computer has completed sending, reset the long sheet and perform copy. Alternatively, set the long sheet and make it remote mode.
