    What does 'SHUTTLE ERROR' mean on my Variquest Poster Maker 3600 Printer?
    • J
      Jason GordonSep 18, 2025
      The 'SHUTTLE ERROR' means that the shuttle has not moved back into home position after the power was turned on or after an error occurred. Turn the printer’s power off and gently move the shuttle unit into home position (on the right of the printer) with your hands. Turn the printer’s power on again.

      Allen MercadoAug 25, 2025
      The 'NO PAPER' message appears because the paper has either not been installed, was loaded incorrectly, or a memory cell error has occurred. Install or reload the paper roll.

    Why is my Variquest Poster Maker 3600 printing so slow?
    • T
      Theresa RaymondAug 26, 2025
      If your Variquest Printer displays a 'Slow Mode' message and the printing process is slow, it means the thermal heads are overheating, which is normal when printing posters with large black areas or in reverse mode. This does not indicate an error.

    How to fix horizontal lines on Variquest Printer poster?
    • J
      Jessica FullerSep 1, 2025
      If your Variquest Printer's printed poster has horizontal lines, clean the thermal heads, especially when switching between TTP/HDP and DTP paper. If the lines appear at roughly 0.8 inch/20 mm intervals, perform a horizontal line adjustment.
