Re: MP CW2200 Black printhead 2 issues

I have aprox 10 engines in the field, i can't complain about it, it's true when a machine is not used for 6-7 days, some print heads can get clogged, a head cleaning should solve the problem, mostly after 2-3 cleaning cycles everything is back to normal, worst case a flush cycle.

Concerning the paper, i do recommend to use paper rolls of max. length 150m, when loading a fresh roll of 175m length you can get some trouble because of the weight when the machine pulls the paper back. There's a modification for the older units, the bearings in the roll feeder can get cracket/break, same for the printhead bearing, witch in fact is the same bearing.

You need to check the TSB's. I believe there is a bulletin about early print head replacement that tells you how to schedule an automatic cleaning cycle. As far as roll loading, be patient. Turn the machine off and on, let it cycle and come to ready. Without lifting up the gold guide plate, slowly start the roll into the paper path. When it grabs , let it go and don't touch anything. when it offers a cut, do it and let the machine do it's thing (it takes a while). If you notice the bottom left of the screen, it states NOT to open any covers, that includes the guide plate. If the machine is disturbed during this slow roll loading, you have to start over. Works for me anyways.

As far as the bearings go you will know if there bad you will hear a thumping sound. Try cleaning the DRESS sensor its on the left side of the carriage if its dirty you will have loading problems
