Johnson Camera Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 During the middle of a print job, the prints started looking like "sample1.jpg". Restarted the machine, and started getting prints like "sample2.jpg". All prints, even the daily setup, look like sample2. Turned the machine off and went home. The next it still printed the same. Now we got the following errors: 6901-0080 (once) 6820-0006 (several times) Have removed and reseated the Image Processing board and all the boards and cables attached. Reloaded backup software. No change. Sample1 looks like a 1 cm. strip of the same part of the image repeated with a color change cycling every time. Sample 2 still looks like a 1 cm repeating strip. The band is across the print, not in the direction of travel. Any ideas? Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Under the MLVA lamp is a high speed spinning filter wheel. They have a habit of letting go and a filter can shatter at speed or crack and loose a part of one. The speed that it spins is critical also, have a look at the filter wheel with a touch through the glass window, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kodak_service Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Our client had a similar problem. It was solved by Printer Control PCB replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While up to speed, the window appears clear. When it finally slows down each color segment appears intact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what does that mean? What expansion memory? The memory on the Image Processing Board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson Camera Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 Solved! It ended up that the power supply for the Data Output PCB had gone bad and that also damaged the Data Output PCB. Both were replaced and now it prints.
