frenchman Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 this is a problem with the pinch roller motor AY. Do you have three choice :1) upgraded the mother board of the printer (go to menu and touch +/- To Main Firm the lastest is if remebe :190 :2) change by new one ( if you are not specialist is very difficult ti make it). :3)check the connector CN12-CN62,CN41-CN71,CN72-CN41 Good luck frenchman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tote2008 Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Hi Frenchman, the problem is the DC motor at the left side of display.It not does work connecting it to a DC power source.Thank you!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlam Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 The pinch motor is a high-failure parts... Many countries / customers are waiting for this motor.... Stock one more is my advice to 6800 and 6850 printer user...and good luck. Frenchman,, I don't understand your first advice [ upgrade the mother board ??? ]. Do you mean we don't need to replace the motor after following your upgrade procedure ? ? ? ? ? ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchman Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 hello davidlam, I'm not totaly sure of my reponse but it's the first thing that i make when i have printer in my hands,and yes of course the pinch motor is a big problem of shinko printer. Many 68XX are not upgraded and the latest firm (190) correct a lot of problem. Bye frenchman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobhamcameras Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Have you installed latest firmware for 6800, 194a The latest media runs at a slightly low melt point than the old media and the firmware needs to change to adjust for this.

grey Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hi I was upgrading my kodak g3 with the Kpk v 1.6 from v 5.2. After I did that I was trying to upgrade the printer firmware while it was upgrading it some how it gave me the message the power was interrupted for the printer. I chacked the fromt of the printer lcd light was giving me the message it "control error 41". I could not get that error to go. to load any printer firmware it ask to check it the printer is ready mode. but always stays on "control error 41". I try turning on and off no cnage. I pluged the printer to a regular computer with operating system 2000.and try installing firm ware v 69. it some how took that one but the error message still the the same no chage. Any idea how can I get this printer back to work. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grey Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I have another 6800 printer. I got the error message " mecha error 12" any idea. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlam Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 GREY / Priyavadan : For "mecha error 12", you need to spend money to replace the "Pinch motor". It is a very common problem in 6800 / 6850 thermal printers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidlam Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 For "control error 41", that means "Comunication Error Main and DSP" ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
