Reinitialize The Limit - Do It Yourself Guide
Reinitialize The Limit - Do It Yourself Guide
Reinitialize The Limit is the process of telling the printer several vital pieces of information that can be lost for various reasons.. These
pieces of information are, the home position and the cut down position. When both of these factors are known the machine will then
understand the width or printable area. Head crashes are the most common cause of needing to Reinitialize The Limit. However,
these steps need only be performed if the symptoms below are exhibited.
Symptoms indicating a Reinitialize The Limit may be needed:
When powering the machine on the model type is listed as XX-??? For example VP-??? or RS-???
When “Sheet Cut” is performed the carriage performs the motion but does not engage the cutter correctly.
Carriages are disconnected error occurs repeatedly.
Scan Motor errors occur repeatedly.
This is a simple process that when performed correctly takes just a few minutes to complete.
