ketox Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Hello everyone, a question here Do you have to do some type of modification or configuration, so that the p800 printer accepts the Pet Film? here my p800, only passes the film paper through one side to the other when i use the sheet feeder; and when I use the Film on the roll feeder, displays Error! wrong media. All these after send to print from Acrorip and Ekprint Welcome any help, Thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnson4 Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 I just loaded mine like normal paper, Selected Sheet in EK-print with the proper size, turned off the Skew check, Paper width check and printed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ketox Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 Thanks @johnson4, Now Im printing on Film Roll, Ek & Acro Ok!.. 👍. Just The top Feeder still passes the film sheet direct to eject and ask, want to resume or cancel? (works fine with plain paper) The Front Feeder for Fine Art Paper still displaying wrong media...

That's weird, did you turn of paper width check and all that off on the printer itself? It will display wrong media from the front, You'll need to load it regular. Might be a way to make that work, but I didn't try after that. Edited November 7, 2020 by johnson4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Load multiple sheets in the feeder and see if that helps. 1 single piece of film doesn't always feed correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaRugz Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 I’m getting this same issue. Everything printed fine when I printed with some other PET film I have, but as soon as I put the DTF film in the printer....I’m getting Paper Error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just select “ paper feed path cleaning” and hold it there as it spins around. Alcohol pads would probably work too. let it air dry, try again.

It does do this in my P800 as well. As Andy stated, putting sheets of paper behind it solved it for me ( I put like 20 sheets, because why not). The reason it does this, ( even does it to me sometimes with regular photo paper too, Mainly Matte) is When the ASF is triggered, vs the PE ( paper load) there is a certain "time" that is allowed. If it doesn't hit that mark, it spits it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used some compressed air and blew out the rear paper feed and that helped a bit. I will use the stacked paper tomorrow and see if that helps as well.

Yea, If air helped, wiping it down with alcohol will help more. Photo papers deposit crap on that roller that you can't see, assuming the person who used it before used it for photos. I use them for more than T-shirts, and both my p600/p800 have trouble picking up Matte photo paper the same way, after several runs. That blended with it's placement and the lid open, it gets dust on it too. After sticking the paper behind it, it has loaded the new film without issue every time. I had a different type of film than you at first, ( more than likely) and it ran through fine since it was thicker film, that's why I was confused with the issue until I tried the new film.

(100 Sheets), agree with you that is when the ASF is triggered, vs the PE, that like the paper did not arrive on time. I did a test removing the cn48 Sensor (Paper,Detector,Pe,Asf, Assy) and still the spitting out I Agree the paper is to thin. All ok printing on roll..

No gap at all, the slide and the paper (film) are tight Im think that the error is because the paper arrive with some skew to the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s worth a try anyway. I know my feeder doesn’t “ push” forward if it’s too tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant the paper slipped while loading, adding the paper in the back and keeping that guide a bit loose and it’s worked fine since with the several sheets I printed. I’m actually switching it over to the p400 since it makes more since for me and it’s been loading fine as well. Unfortunately I don’t know of anything else to do.

ketox Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 I will continue doing tests, maybe it is the type of DTF paper I will try with another supplier, maybe I will find a thicker paper, for now I will continue printing with the roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently received the thinner stuff and that’s when that happened to me. Roll is probably the way to go anyway, no waste at the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
