NORMAL OPERATION
The term "normal operation" covers on line operation, off line operation and local operation, i.e. the three types of operation for actual cutting or plotting. They are explained in further detail in the following paragraphs.
ON LINE AND OFF LINE

On line and off line are two important concepts when using the SummaPaint PC1500. The cutter is on line only when one of the following messages is displayed on the LCD : Online in cutting mode: 500mm/s 120 g .45mm(1) *ON LINE K 1 Online in printing mode: PRINT MODE *ON LINE K 1
This display message should be read as follows : 500 mm/s 120 g K .45 mm(1) velocity knife pressure or pen pressure = knife operation (K) or pen operation (P) = knife offset - only displayed when in drag knife mode = cutter is ready to receive data = user number = =
This display message should be read as follows : PRINT MODE = indicates that the machine is in print mode. K = knife operation (K) or pen operation (P) *ON LINE = printer is ready to receive data 1 = user number
ON LINE 1
In all other cases, the cutter is off line. When on line, the cutter can be addressed by the host computer, which means that the cutter will execute cutting or plotting instructions issued by the host computer's application software. For normal operations, the cutter MUST be on line, so that it can receive instructions from the host computer and the printing/cutting software.

SummaPaint
The default setting is ON. Best results and performance are usually guaranteed when using this setting. On the LCD display, the active setting is marked with an *. When using weak or soft materials, e.g. canvas, better results are achieved when autoload is off.
CLEANING
The CLEANING sub-menu is used to set the cleaning frequency of the cleaning procedure. While printing the print-carriage moves periodically to the service station to clean the print heads and to spit some ink out of all its nozzles to prevent blocking of the nozzles. It is advised to set the cleaning as low as possible to work faster and save some ink. In this way the reservoirs of the service station can be used longer before they need to be cleaned (see section 3). However if the cleaning frequency is to low, nozzles will block. The default setting is MEDIUM. Cleaning can be set to OFF, LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH.
TOOL COMMAND
The TOOL COMMAND is used to determine whether the DM/PL and HP/GL pen/knife-select commands (the P and SP commands respectively) are ignored or accepted. When the TOOL COMMAND option is set to ACCEPT, the P or SP commands will change the selected tool in the cutter according to the suffix that follows the pen/knife command. The cutters LCD will, e.g. prompt the user with the following message: INSERT PEN when a P2 command is sent. When the TOOL COMMAND option is set to IGNORE, the pen/knife commands are ignored. On the LCD, the active setting is marked with an *. The default setting is ACCEPT.
LOAD ON W COMMAND
The LOAD ON W CMD submenu will only be displayed if the PLOT LANGUAGE is set to DM/PL (See Paragraph 1..). The LOAD ON W CMD determines, when receiving the DM/PL Window-command (W-command), whether aside from the scaling function, media is loaded or not. Besides scaling, the W-command is also very useful when cutting long signs. With the Wcommand, media loading will go smoother. Sufficient media will be pulled off the roll at once. Even when AUTOLOAD is off, there is no need anymore to unroll the media manually.

FLEX-CUT
FLEX-CUT can be set to OFF, to Mode 1 or Mode 2. When the cutter is set to mode 1 or mode 2, it will alternately cut one length with full pressure, and one length with reduced pressure. The feature FLEX-CUT offers the advantage that it cuts completely through the material, yet allowing the material to stay together by means of the small media bridges. MODE 1 is the quickest mode, but it is less precise because the pressure changes during the cutting. MODE 2 is a lot slower, but at the same time it is much more precise, as the cutter stops at every change of pressure. Pressing the 1 key will activate the configuration menu, which allows you to set the cutting pressure and the cut length. 1. CUT LENGTH This parameter determines the length that is cut with full pressure. By pressing the 1 key, the FLEX-CUT test pattern will be cut. 2. FLEX-CUT LENGTH This parameter determines the length that will be cut with reduced pressure or without pressure. By pressing the 1 key, the FLEX-CUT pattern will be cut. 3.

TANG. KNIFE CALIBRATION

The purpose of the knife calibration routine is to detect and, if need be, to correct problems related with the concentricity of the TANGENTIAL knife blade. This routine should only be run when required. When noticing cut quality problems with a new knife, perform a knife calibration test as described in the following paragraphs. During the knife calibration routine, the cutter will cut a series of test patterns which will allow you to identify errors in knife rotation and concentricity. Corrective measures can be taken using the control panel keys. Knife calibration errors may be due to any of the following causes (see Fig. 1-5):

Aside from the standard adjustment tools used in the standard operating procedure, you can use an ordinary 3.1/2 disk to adjust the height and the position of the head. To do this proceed as follows: Put the disk against the drag head (the same way as you would put an adjustment plate against it) to verify that the drag head is positioned perpendicular to the cutting surface. Slide the disk under the knife holder. If the disk touches the knife holder the head is mounted too low. 82. 83.Firmly tighten the screws once the cutter head is properly positioned. 84.Put the flat cable back into the connector. To ensure good contact, the flat cable must be positioned as deeply as possible in the middle of the connector. 85.Remount the front cover of the head and firmly tighten the screws.
CAUTION 23. 24. 25. Now that the head is replaced, it is extremely important to bring the data stored on the PCB in line with the head and vice-versa. See further .

When all nozzles are working fine, the four slanting lines will be continuous. If one colour line is interrupted, one ore more nozzles will be blocked. Repeat this test a second time. If some nozzles are still blocked, the cartridge needs to be cleaned. Start the Alignment Pattern test
After printing the colour calibration test you can change the values for the horizontal and vertical offset of the printed colour with reference to the black. Click on Check Pattern to verify the alignment.
Start de Offset Test. Check whether the lines are smooth. Correct if necessary.
Make sure the installed tool in the cutterhead is mounted correctly. Start the Print & Cut. The printed and cut out pattern depends on the way the tuning of the heads test was started up.

OPOS CALIBRATION
NORMAL CALIBRATION
Normal calibration of the OPOS system is explained in section 1.6.6. However, when this doesnt work there is an extra calibration method for fine tuning.
FINE TUNING
The Opos system has to be fine tuned when: the normal calibration didnt do the job. the Opos system has been removed from the head. The markers are extremely glossy (sometimes with photoquality with thermal wax transfer). Calibration: Load vinyl. Make sure the Opos system is perpendicular on the media. Go to the internal test - system test-optical sensor. Remove the black piece of vinyl from the Opos sensor. Turn the left pot meter 15 turns CCW and the 8 turns CW . Place the sensor top above a piece of white matt media Turn the right pot meter CCW until the LCD display shows a value higher than 300. Then turn CW until the value doesnt decrease anymore and turn 1/8 of a turn CCW. Place the sensor above a glossy piece of black material. Turn the left pot meter CCW until the display doesnt increase anymore (more than 8 turns is useless). This value is usually between 1950 and 2000. Continue with the normal calibration.
!NOTE!
When the OPOS system still fails to work properly, do the fine tuning on the media giving trouble. Change the matt white media with the troublesome media and change glossy black media with the marker on the troublesome media. If everything else fails just try to make the difference, between the readout above the markers and the media, more then 800. The left pot meter changes the gain and the right pot meter changes the threshold level between black and white.

The front and rear media sensors can be tested with internal test as described in section 1.7.4. . To test the media sensors just follow the guidelines on the LCD screen . --------------------------------> is shown when the sensor is covered.
>
is shown when the sensor is uncovered. The bottom arrow has to be at least 2 positions further than the top arrow for the unit to function properly.
There is a possibility to change the positions of the bottom arrow with the left and right arrow on the keyboard.
CAM SENSOR
If the machine doesnt sense the position of the camrollers anymore, follow the following procedure: 1. Power the machine up without any media. 2. Go to the test CAM SENSOR 3. Lower the camrollers, put the sensor of the cuttinghead above a reflection part of a camroller. 4. Lower or raise the sensor until you get a value higher than 300. 5. Check whether the reflection block doesnt touch the sensor in the up position.
LINEAR ENCODER SENSOR

When the machine makes all the movements it is supposed to do but does not print, then the linear encoder sensor may be defective. To check whether it functions properly, do the following: 6. Turn the machine off but leave the controller box on. 7. Gently slide the printercarriage from the left to the right manually while checking the LED marked y on the controller box. If it flickers from red to green then everything is OK. 8. If it doesnt work either replace or reposition it.
!NOTE!
If the sensor is repositioned or replaced make sure that the encoder is mounted as shown on the fig below (encoderstrip 1/3 from the back) 9.

SERVICE STATION CALIBRATION

MECHANICAL CALIBRATION
The mechanical calibration has to be done when: The printerhead has been replaced. the service station has been replaced. Calibration: Make sure the machine is powered off. Check whether the capping cushions are mounted correctly (see fig).
Move the printerhead first to the left then to the right until the printerhead touches the right stop of the service station. The inkjethead should now be exactly above the capping cushions. If not, reposition the right stop with the screws on the front. Then set the left stop as high as possible and in such a way that there is a little play for the printer head.
Check whether all the wipers touch the inkjet heads, when the printer head is moved completely to the right.

MOTOR HOT
Cause: Heavy media can overload the motors, especially the X-motor. The P on the PCB calculates the power dissipated in the motors. When this dissipation becomes too high, the message MOTOR HOT appears. This is not a fatal error. After a while this message will disappear and the machine will continue its operation. Action: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Wait until the motor has cooled down to an acceptable level. Lower the speed using the menu and use a lower knife pressure if possible. Use lighter or smaller media. Check the cam rollers, replace any damaged cam rollers. Call CalComp for assistance. A system register may have changed the default value. Check whether the drive drum is turning smoothly (first switch the machine off and place the cam rollers in the up-position). Replace motor and/or drum.
ERROR IN X-AXIS
Cause: The drum motor cannot move to the required position. This is a fatal error. It can only be solved by turning the power off and then on again. This error is usually caused by a media crash in the machine. Action: 7. Remove the crashed media and restart the machine. Should this happen rather frequently, the cause can be : knife depth or pressure is not well set. bad tracking because an unstabilised media type is used. bad tracking because the humidity is too high or too low. bad tracking because an unapproved type of media is used. the media hit something on the floor while cutting. the media shows already different tracks, so that the media does not know which track to follow. 8. Lower the speed of the media. 9. Check whether the drive drum turns smoothly (first turn the power off and place the cam rollers in the up-position). 10.If the error in the x-axis happens at start-up, check the x-axis motor, the encoder connectors and the cables. 11.Replace the X-motor encoder. 12.Replace the PCB. 13.

ERROR IN Y-AXIS POSITION

Cause: The motor driving the machine head cannot move to the position wanted. This is a fatal error. It can only be solved by turning the power off and then on again. This error is usually caused by a media crash. Action: 14.Remove the crashed media and restart the machine. 15.Lower the speed and/or the knife pressure. 16.Check whether the head moves smoothly (first turn the power off and position the cam rollers on the outer edges of the media). 17.Check the y-axis motor and the encoder cables. 18.If this error occurs during media loading and the head bashes against the left, then it could be that the media sensor doesnt work any more. 19. -> Check media sensor with internal test. Replace if necessary. 20.Replace the Y-motor of the machine head. 21.Replace the PCB.
ERROR IN Y-2 AXIS POSITION

Cause: The motor driving the printer head cannot move to the position wanted. This is a fatal error. It can only be solved by turning the power off and then on again. This error is usually caused by a media crash. Action: 22.Remove the crashed media and restart the machine. 23.Check whether the head moves smoothly (first turn the power off). 24.Check the y-axis motor of the printer head and the encoder cables. 25.Replace the Y-motor of the printer head. 26.Replace the PCB.

LOW LINE VOLTAGE

Cause: The secondary voltage of the transformer is measured by the P on the PCB. When it measures a value lower than the lower limit setting, the machine will give this error. This is a fatal error. Switching the power off and making a corrective action is the only solution. Action: 27.Measure the line voltage. Check whether the voltage selector at the back of the machine is set to the correct line voltage. The line voltage should be between the selected voltage +8% or -10%. 28.Check the secondary voltage of the transformer. It should be at least 22VAC. If that is not the case, replace the transformer. 29.Check the DC power on the PCB (on the power cable going to the machine interface board). It should be at least 27VDC.. 30.Disconnect the motor cables, the encoder cables, the flat cable going to the head, the fan cable, the sensor cables and the 28V power cable going to the machine interface board, and switch the machine on again. 31.When you have done this, plug in the cables one by one until the energy consumer is found. Replace it. 32.Replace the main PCB. 33.
HIGH LINE VOLTAGE

Cause: The secondary voltage of the transformer is measured by the P on the PCB. When it measures a value higher than the upper limit setting, the machine will give this error. This is a fatal error. Switching the power off and making a corrective action is the only solution. Action: 34.Measure the line voltage. Check whether the voltage selector at the back of the machine is set to the correct line voltage. The line voltage should be between the selected voltage +8% or -10%. 35.Check the secondary voltage of the transformer. It should be less than 30VAC. If that is not the case, replace the transformer. 36.Check the DC voltage on the PCB. It should be less than 37VDC. 37.Replace the main PCB. 38.
