Mimaki JV33-160 Датчик не видит носителя (Error 50)
Доброго всем дня, датчик не обнаруживает носитель
выходит «Error 50». В инструкции это значит что- Датчик не обнаруживает носитель
(носитель установлен неправильно либо установлен носитель недо-пустимого типа).
В чем может быть проблемка? Бумаги те же что и раньше. Помогите кто чем может.

Внизу под «носителем» есть, утопленная в канавке черная «полоска» по ширине всего стала…
Убедитесь что она есть, не повреждена… Протрите ее… И убедитесь что датчик с левой стороны головы (не красный световой) подключен и не выскочил с своей позиции…
Спаси меня господь от тех кому я верю,
от тех кому не – верю уберегусь я сам

Протри датчик спиртом (или в крайнем случае водкой) — должно помочь. Ну и край материала не должен быть очень близко к краю стола.
Тщательней надо, братцы, тщательней…, но без фанатизма!

Mimaki SWJ 320 -S4 — Проблема с шагом.
Сообщение Granovskiy » 06 дек 2013 22:56
Имеется у нас в наличии 2 плоттера фирмы mimaki, jv33-160 и недавно приобрели Mimaki SWJ-S4. Так вот если на jv33 с шагом все просто, будь то рулон пленки 100,126,160 см. заправленный в станок или огрызок найденный в коробке с отходами, шаг постоянно одинаковый. А вот на SWJ-320, почему-то разный шаг на каждую ширину материала, будь то пленка или баннер. А про печать цвето пробы на огрызке, я вообще молчу ! Так например шаг на пленке шириной 100см равен нулю, а на 126см уже ша (МИНУС 215), на 160см. -535.
Подскажите пожалуйста, это нормально ? Или может мы материал как-то не правильно заправляем, а или секрет какой есть ))) С баннером такая же проблема.

Попробуйте обратиться к поставщику этого принтера.
Так же посмотрите на ссылочку: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AziSc40DDqg
Еще одно примечание — рулоны нужно позиционировать строго по центру зоны печати.

На JV33 на разных материалах шаг тоже разный. Просто это не сильно заметно
Сообщение kireyev » 11 дек 2013 13:43
Шаг — это имеется ввиду «коррекция скорости подачи носителя» (по англ. MEDIA COMP.)?
Если да, то в режиме LOCAL.X(1,2,3,4) заходите MENU->FUNCTION->SETUP->MEDIA COMP и там выставляете 0 (чтобы пропустить тестовую печать нажмите стрелку вправо). Далее делаете тестовый принт и регулируете на текущий материал.
Правда я скорее всего не правильно понял про шаг, так как у Вас уже 2 мимаки и про такую регулировку Вы наверное знаете.

Clamp up mimaki error 504
Answer: This error is displayed when the obstacle sensor detects an obstacle that can collide with the head.
Check that the setting value of “MEDIA THICKNESS” or “HEAD GAP” is appropriate against the actual thickness of the media. In addition, check on the followings.
・Dust or garbage is not sticking to the surface of table or media
・When the media is fixed with tape, the tape is not lifted
・The media is not rolled back
1. Required action against “ERROR505 !WORK High”
(1) Press the [ENTER] key while the error is displayed. The machine returns to mode.
(2) If [DATA REMAIN] is displayed, press the [DATACLEAR] key and then press the [ENTER] key.
(3) Press the [FUNCTION] key, and then press the [WORK SET] -> [ENTER] key. The Y bar moves backward, and the table moves down to the lowest point.
(4) Reset the media.
(5) Press the [REMOTE] key. The Y bar moves from the backside to the front when the machine enters mode. It is possible to start printing if no error is displayed until the Y bar stops at the front.
* Note that the head gap may be wider than the setting value even though it is set to 1.5mm in [Head Gap], if the value in [MEDIA THICKNESS] is larger than the thickness of the actual media.
2. Difference in action by setting
[FUNCTION] -> [HEAD HEIGHT] -> [GAP CHECK] is added to UJF-3042 firmware version 1.30. UJF-3042FX and UJF-3042HG have the [GAP CHECK] function regardless of firmware version.
・[GAP CHECK] is set as [OFF]:
When the obstacle sensor reacts, “ERROR505! WORK High” is displayed and the operation stops.
・[GAP CHECK] is set as [ON]:
When the obstacle sensor reacts, “ERROR505! WORK High” is not displayed, and the table moves down to the point that the obstacle sensor does not react.
* Because the table continues to move down until the obstacle sensor does not react even though [HEAD GAP] is set to 1.5mm, the actual head gap may not be 1.5mm. Note that movement of the head gap may cause a degraded drawing quality or ink mist if the obstacle sensor reacts during printing.
If the problem still remains, please contact us.

Что означает ошибка сервера 504 Gateway Time Out и как ее исправить
Иногда при посещении отдельных страниц сайта мы сталкиваемся с тем, что на экране вместо желаемого контента появляется сообщение об ошибке с цифровым кодом. Для «непосвященного» пользователя это просто набор цифр, но на самом деле в этих цифрах заложена определенная информация. Все они группируются по видам причин возникновения сбоя.
Сообщения, кодирующиеся в формате 5хх, говорят о проблеме на стороне сервера, например, когда невозможно выполнить запрос из-за нарушения связи между несколькими серверами. Ошибка 504 Gateway Time Out не является распространенной, но это не значит, что на нее не стоит обращать внимания, особенно владельцу сайта. Рассмотрим некоторые причины возникновения данной ошибки и способы ее устранения как на стороне обычного посетителя, так и администратором веб-ресурса.
Ошибка 504 Gateway Time Out – это код состояния HTTP, который появляется, когда в течение заданного периода времени один сервер не получает своевременный ответ от другого сервера, который действует как шлюз или прокси.
Описания ошибки могут иметь различную форму:
- 504 Gateway Timeout nginx
- Gateway Timeout Error
- HTTP Error 504
- 504 Gateway Time-out – The server didn’t respond in time
- HTTP Error 504 – Gateway Timeout
Наличие дополнительного словесного описания помогает конкретизировать причину возникновения сбоя.
Производительный хостинг в подарок при заказе лицензии 1С-Битрикс
Выбирайте надежную CMS с регулярными обновлениями системы и профессиональной поддержкой. А мы подарим вам год хостинга – специально для сайтов на 1С-Битрикс.
Что делать посетителю сайта при возникновении ошибки 504
Итак, вы столкнулись с появлением на экране сообщения «error 504». Не спешите уходить с сайта, ведь возникновение сбоя может говорить о неправильной работе вашего браузера или даже наличии более серьезных проблем на уровне пользовательского софта. Попробуйте произвести довольно простые действия, чтобы убедиться, что с вашим программным обеспечением и настройками все в порядке.
- Перезагрузите проблемную страницу или текущий браузер. Если проблема устранилась и не повторяется вновь, особенно при посещении других сайтов, о ней можно просто забыть. При регулярном возникновении однотипных ошибок во время посещения разных ресурсов стоит покопаться в настройках собственного ПО поглубже.
- Зайдите на тот же самый сайт, где возникла ошибка сервера 504, используя альтернативный браузер. В случае, когда страница во время тестирования открылась корректно, обновите браузер, в котором случился сбой, до последней версии.
- Проверьте, как открываются страницы этого же сайта с другого компьютера или смартфона. Это позволит вам понять, не связано ли появление ошибки 504 с ПО конкретного устройства.
- При регулярном появлении HTTP ошибок, в т.ч. с кодом 504, очистите кэш браузера, удалите файлы cookies. Со временем в любом браузере накапливается много «мусора». Произведя очистку, вы поможете программе работать более корректно и даже быстрее.
- Произведите сброс настроек роутера или модема, отключив оборудование на некоторое время от сети. Данная операция вряд ли приведет к устранению ошибки 504, но может улучшить качество интернет-соединения. Провайдеры регулярно вносят изменения в настройки собственного софта, обновляют его. Иногда это приводит к конфликту в корректном взаимодействии пользовательского оборудования и серверов оператора. Перезагрузка устройства по питанию в большинстве случаев решает такие проблемы.
- Очистите кэш DNS. Данная операция кажется сложной для обычного пользователя, но на деле выполнить ее достаточно легко. Способ очистки зависит от вашей операционной системы, найдите соответствующий мануал в интернете.
- Для опытных пользователей подойдет рекомендация временно переключить DNS-сервер на Google Public DNS , что как минимум поможет определить, возник ли ошибочный код состояния HTTP по причине DNS проблемы.
Если после проведения всех вышеозначенных рекомендаций любая ошибка, в т.ч. 504 Gateway Time Out, продолжает возникать регулярно, обратитесь в техподдержку проблемного интернет-ресурса.
Решение проблем с появлением ошибки сервера 504 администратором веб-ресурса
Некорректная работа сайта чаще всего просто раздражает посетителя и приводит к тому, что пользователь находит альтернативный ресурс. Для владельца сайта такие сбои могут носить более глобальные последствия. Поэтому очень важно своевременно обнаруживать баги и максимально быстро устранять их. Для раннего мониторинга стоит использовать все возможные инструменты:
- проводить регулярную симуляцию пользовательского поведения на сайте;
- настроить автоматизированный мониторинг работоспособности ресурса как встроенными инструментами администрирования, так и с использованием специальных скриптов;
- обеспечить качественную работу службы технической поддержки сайта, своевременную обработку всех поступающих сообщений, особенно связанных с информацией о появлении разного рода ошибок на стороне пользователя.
Соблюдение последнего правила не только позволит практически без дополнительных затрат отслеживать все возможные проблемы, которые возникают при посещении сайта. Своевременная обработка пользовательских запросов, быстрый ответ, выдача рекомендаций и публичное обсуждение повышают лояльность и создают дополнительный PR-эффект.
Почти все ошибки с кодом 5хх, возникающие из-за невозможности обработки определенного количества запросов, поступающих на сервер, решаются методом апгрейда железа (использованием высокопроизводительного хостинга) либо оптимизацией работы программного обеспечения. Второй способ зависит от вида движка, на котором создан конкретный сайт. При использовании условно-бесплатных программ (WordPress, OpeneCart и других) все проблемы придется решать на уровне администрирования, с привлечением конкретного веб-программиста, разработавшего данный сайт. Если баги возникают на платных платформах (1С-Битрикс, UMI.CMS, NetCat CMS), напишите об ошибке 504 Gateway Time Out в техподдержку разработчика. Отправить сообщение о проблеме следует и разработчикам платных скриптов, если они установлены на вашем сайте, и вы считаете, что сбои возникают по причине их некорректного исполнения.
Вот некоторые причины, приводящие к возникновению ошибки 504 Gateway Time Out
- Резкий скачок нагрузки на сайт вследствие поступления большого количества внешних запросов, вызванного DDoS-атаками или действиями вирусного ПО, пиковым посещением сайта, например, в момент проведения различных акций в интернет-магазине, или единовременной загрузкой на сайт большого объема контента (импорт информации из CSV- или XML-файлов).
- Некорректная работа скриптов, плагинов и дополнений, конфликтующих как между собой, так и внутри.
- Превышение лимита доступных ресурсов при использовании виртуального хостинга.
Еще одна возможная причина возникновения ошибки 504 – исполняемый скрипт не укладывается в отведенный лимит времени. Это бывает, когда скрипт обращается к другим сайтам либо просто выполняет тяжелую операцию, например, строит поисковый индекс.
Рекомендации по устранению ошибки 504 Gateway Time Out методами администрирования сайта
Ошибка 504 Gateway Time Out может быть вызвана недавними изменениями или обновлениями на сайте. Если после отката к состоянию, предшествующему изменениям, баг исчез, следует найти конкретное действие, повлекшее возникновение ошибки. Для этого необходимо проверить журнал ошибок соответствующей CMS. Пользователи WordPress могут включить журналирование ошибок в файле wp-config.php добавлением следующих строк:
Все возникающие варианты ошибок будут записаны в файле wp-contents/debug.log.
Для проверки работоспособности плагинов и расширений попробуйте отключить те, которые вызывают подозрение как источники возникновения ошибки 504. В первую очередь это касается устаревших скриптов, но причиной могут оказаться и обновления. Если проблема исчезла, далее следует найти некорректный плагин или дополнение и устранить или исправить его. Один из способов улучшения работы исполняемого скрипта – увеличить значение параметра PHP max_execution_time или облегчить скрипт.
При использовании CDN для более быстрого получения контента, в частности CloudFlare, который работает как CDN и как сервис предотвращения негативных последствий от DDoS, вы можете столкнуться с двумя типами ошибок 504. В случае возникновения проблемы на стороне CloudFlare лучшим решением будет связаться с поддержкой CloudFlare или отключить его. Второй вариант – когда сбой возникает на стороне хостинг-провайдера. В этой ситуации также необходимо обратиться в службу поддержки хостера.
Часто ошибку 504 можно видеть на серверах, где используется VPS-хостинг и установлен Nginx в качестве фронтенда и Apache в качестве бэкенда. Для устранения проблемы в Apache можно увеличить значение timeout по умолчанию в файле httpd.conf:
Также увеличить лимит в max_execution_time в php.ini:
После внесения изменений следует перезапустить Apache. Ошибка 504 Gateway Time Out должна исчезнуть.
Аналогичным образом проблема с появлением ошибки HTTP 504 решается пользователями Nginx. Попробуйте увеличить такие параметры в файле /etc/nginx/conf.d/timeout.conf:
Также рекомендуется увеличить max_execution_time в php.ini:
Далее перезапустите Nginx и откройте сайт.
Более простым решением устранения данной проблемы является использование панели управления сервером.
Данный способ позволяет администрировать настройки веб-сервера без использования консоли, один раз настроить их под ваш проект и больше не подключаться к серверу без острой необходимости.
Например, в бесплатной панели управления Vesta Control Panel достаточно внести изменения в раздел «Сервер» и навсегда забыть о возможности возникновения ошибок на сайте.
И далее внести соответствующие изменения.
Аналогичным способом проблема устраняется и при использовании альтернативных панелей управления хостингом – Ajenti, CentOS Web Panel, ISPmanager и других.
Если вы считаете, что появление 504 Gateway Timeout вызвано превышением лимита использования ресурсов серверного железа, оптимальным решением будет аренда выделенного сервера или VPS. Когда ваш сайт уже размещен на виртуальном хостинге, но ни одна из рекомендаций не привела к исправлению error 504, обратитесь к хостинг-провайдеру. В этом случае подробно опишите причины, которые, как вы полагаете, привели к появлению сбоя.
Заключение
В данной статье мы рассмотрели основные причины возникновения ошибки HTTP 504 Gateway Timeout и популярные способы устранения неполадки. Уверен, некоторые администраторы веб-ресурсов сталкивались с подобными проблемами, выходящими за рамки приведенных примеров и рекомендаций.
Буду благодарен, если вы поделитесь своим опытом в комментариях.

Periodic replacement parts • Some parts of this machine must be replaced with new ones periodically by service personnel. Be sure to make a contract with your distributor or dealer for After sale service to ensure a long life of your machine. Protection of media from dust • Store media in a bag. Wiping off dust accumulated on media will adversely affect the media due to static electricity. • When leaving the workshop after the working hours, do not leave any media on the roll hanger. If any media is left on the roll hanger, it can get dusty. Clump lever • Never raise the lever during printing. Raising the lever will abort printing. Notes on maintenance • It is strongly recommended to use the machine in a room that is not dusty. • Dust in the heads can also cause drops of ink to fall suddenly down on the media during printing. In such a case, be sure to clean up the heads. • Perform wiping (removal of dust and paper powder) of the capping station and wiper frequently. WARNING Handling ink bottles • The safety evaluation of this machine assumes that the ink recommended by this company is used. For safe usage of this machine, use the ink recommend by this company. • Never refill the ink bottles with ink. Refilled ink cartridge can cause a trouble. Remember that MIMAKI assumes no responsibility for any damage caused by the use of the ink cartridge replenished with ink. • If an ink bottle is moved from a cold place to a warm place, leave it at room temperature for at least three hours before using it. • Open the ink bottle just before installing it in the machine. If it is opened and left for an extended period of time, normal printing performance of the machine may not be ensured. • Make sure to store ink bottles in a cool and dark place. • Store ink bottles and waste ink bottles in a place that is out of the reach of children. • Once an ink bottle is opened, be sure to thoroughly consume the ink within three months. If an extended period of time has passed away after opening the cartridge tank, printing quality would be poor. • Do not pound ink bottles or shake them violently. Doing so could cause the ink to leak. • Consult with your sales or service representative regarding the proper disposal of ink bottles and waste ink. When you dispose them by yourself, follow the regulations stipulated by the industrial waste disposer or the country or region you live in. Handling of media • Use media recommended by MIMAKI to ensure reliable, high-quality printing. • Pay attention to the expansion and contraction of the media. Do not use media immediately after unpacking. The media can be affected by the room temperature and humidity, and thus it may expand and contract. The media have to be left in the atmosphere in which they are to be used for 30 minutes or more after unpacked. • Do not use curled media. The use of curled media can not only cause a media jam but also affect print quality. Straighten the sheet of media, if significantly curled, before using it for printing. If a regular-sized coated sheet of media is rolled and stored, the coated side has to face outside. Disposition of this machine • Consult your sales or service representative for proper disposal of this machine. Otherwise, commission an industrial waste disposal company.

(Remember that this is just a temporary mea- sure. To maintain satisfactory cutting quality, we recommend that you replace the cutter blade with a new one.) When the tool conditions are proper, the results of test cutting are as follows: • The two squares are cut perfectly. • The base media remains uncut. • No corner of the squares is rounded. • No corner of the squares is curled-up. Cut Condition Cause Solution Some parts uncut. The blade is lifted above the media because of a too high cutting speed. Lower the speed . (P.2-27) Tighten up the knob for the tool holder. ( P.2-24) The base media has been cut. Too high pressure. Lower the pressure. (P.2-27) Too large protrusion of the cutter blade. Adjust the protrusion of the cutter blade. ( P.2-24) Any of the square corners rounded. Improper OFFSET value. Adjust the OFFSET value so that it suits the cutter blade in use. ( P.2-27) Any of the square corners curled-up. Too large protrusion of the cutter blade. The cutting pressure is higher. The [COMPENSATIO N PRESSURE OFFSET value] is large. More than two out of the above fall under this category. Adjust the protrusion of the cutter blade. ( P.2-24) Adjust the cutting pressure. (P.2-27) Adjust the ADJ-PRS OFS value.

There are the following three types of register marks. The Flow of Cutting out the Regis- tered Data Enter register mark detection mode 1 Press (TEST CUT) in LOCAL. 2 Press to select “MARK DETECTION”, and press the key. • The machine enters register mark detection mode. Precautions for inputting data with register marks There are some limitations to preparing data with register marks. In order to make full use of this function, read the following instructions carefully to correctly prepare data with register marks. Size of register marks In addition, for the length of one the side of the register mark compared to the data, refer to "Size of and distance between register marks" ( P.4-4). Make sure that the line width of the register mark is larger than 1/10 the length of register mark. • Use the TP4 when performing trapezium compen- sation to correct the uneven sheet feeding rate caused by the difference in the diameter between the right and left grit rollers. If the trapezium com- pensation is to be omitted, there is no need to set the TP4. In that case, however, cutting distortion will increase. register mark: Type 1 register mark: Type 2 register mark: Zero Margin Add register marks to the image that you want to make a seal, and print it on a sheet. Set the printed sheet in the machine. Send the cut-target image from the computer for cutting. There are some conditions for creating register marks. See pages P.4-2 through P.4-4. Refer to P.2-4 to set the sheet. In case it is not successfully cut, • Check the register mark sensor. • Check the position of the Light Pointer. • When register detection is set to OFF, the machine doesn’t enter register mark detection mode. (P.4-5) • While various functions are being set, data entry may be canceled and the machine may go back to the previous setting item. • The register mark described here is intended to detect the sheet inclination and the lengths along the X and Y axes. It is not a mark for trimming. 0.5~2.0mm 4~40mm Chapter 4 Cutting Function 4-3 4 2 2 Area where register marks and designs can be arranged The placeable range for the register mark and the image is as follows. • Set the start position of the register mark at 100 mm or more from the media front end. • Set the end position of the register mark at 110 mm or more from the media rear end. • When the data is copied by using RasterLink, make sure to leave a space of 210 mm or larger at the tail end of the sheet. Mark Shape: Type 1 Mark Shape: Type 2 No-plotting area around the register marks The area around a register mark (from the mark origin to the mark size area) is a non-plotting area. There must be no data plotted and no stains in this area; otherwise, the origin may be detected incorrectly or a mark read error could occur. Incorrect detection example 1 When there is a line outside the register marks Incorrect detection example 2 When the distance between register marks (TP2 and TP1 or TP4 and TP2) is smaller than the mark length (for Type 2) Area where cutting is permitted Available cutting area 110mm or 210mm more Between 50mm to 3000 mm 20 mm or more 50 mm or more 5mm or more5mm or more Rear Front Area where cutting is permitted Available cutting area 110mm or 210mm + (register mark length / 2) or more Between 50mm to 3000 mm 50 mm or more 20 mm+ (register mark length / 2) or more 5mm or more5mm or more Rear Front • If the mark origin is detected incorrectly, cutting will be performed in the wrong area. Mark length register mark: Type 1 No-plotting area Mark Mark Origin register mark: Type 2 Mark length No-plotting area No-plotting area Mark Origin Mark origin detected incorrectly Space larger than the mark length Space larger than the mark length 4-4 Chapter 4 Cutting Function Size of and distance between register marks The size (Y) of a register mark suited for the distance (X) between the marks is as shown below. If the mark size (Y) is too small relative to the distance (X), the marks may not be detected correctly. Be sure to prepare appropriately sized register marks. Units (mm) Distance between register marks for copied designs For Type 1 register marks, the distance between the marks must be no shorter than two times the mark length and no longer than 1000 mm. For Type 2 register marks, the distance between the marks must be no shorter than the mark length and no longer than 1000 mm. Recommended size of the area defined with a set of four register marks It is recommended that the size of the area defined with a set of four register marks is in the range of A4 size (210 mm x 297 mm) to A3 size (297 mm x 420 mm). When printing register marks continuously When printing register marks continuously, set one side of the register mark to 8 mm. If 8 mm or shorter register marks are detected continuously, glitches might occur in the machine. Mark color Marks must be printed in black against a white background. register marks will not be detected correctly if the background is not white or the marks are not black. Blurred marks If a mark is blurred, the mark origin might be detected incorrectly, thus resulting in deviated cutting. X 200 max. 500 max. 1000 max. 2000 max. 2001 min.

Setting Value Description ON/OFF The register marks can be detected if this is set to ON. • Use the copy function of cutting software, in the case of continuous cut, select the register mark of Zero margin, and you will be able to place no mar- gin between the register marks. To eliminate the margin between the register marks to cut efficiently, we recommend using the "Zero Margin" mark shape. Setting Value Description Type 1 Type 2 Zero margin Length of one 4-6 Chapter 4 Cutting Function (4) OFFSET X / OFFSET Y Generally the origin will be set at the position shown below. However, depending on your application and the work to be cut, the cutting position may be misaligned in the same direction. In this case, the location of the origin can be corrected. (5) DETECT END KEY START (6) SENSOR LEVEL (7) MARK FILL UP ID Cut It is a function that can cut automatically according to the ID information simply by detecting the ID-contained data. It is not necessary to output the cut data again after printing the data. For details, refer to "ID Cut Guide". Print data If you cut the media rotated by 90, 180, or 270 degrees, set the media margins to the following values at rotated conditions. • Front end : 20 mm or more • Left and right ends : 15 mm or more • Rear end : 110 mm or more 210 mm or more (if a register mark copy *1 has been made) *1: The data whose register mark copy has been made more than one by RasterLink. 1 Set the media. 2 Check if the print start position (the origin ) is set at 110 mm or more from the media front end, and 15 mm or more from the media right end. • Make sure that the width of the media is equal to or larger than [Entire image width (including the register mark) + right 15 mm + left 15 mm]. • If any of the front / left / right margin is insufficient, the media end may be mistaken as the register mark, which may cause the register mark detection to start earlier. (1) Press the jog key in the local state. Move the luminous point of the LED pointer so that the print start position is 100 mm or more from the media front end, and 15 mm or more from the right end. (2) Press the [ENTER] key. • The print start position is changed. 3 Check if the print end position is set at 110 mm or 210 mm (if the mark copy has been made) from the media rear end. • Make sure that the length of the media is equal to or larger than [Entire image length (including the register mark) + 100 mm + 110 mm or 210 mm(if the mark copy has been made)]. Setting Value Description ± 15.00 mm Use this to shift the origin position in the X direction or Y direction. • If the origin is located out of the available cutting area, “ERR37 MARK ORG” will be displayed. In this case, write the register marks in the area closer to the center of the media. Setting Value Description ON/OFF If this is ON, you will be able to detect crop marks with the [END] key. • When set to ON, the cutter head moves when the power is turned off. Setting Value Description 1 to 7 The bigger the numerical value is, the higher the sensitivity of the register mark sensor becomes. If register marks are not detected, increase the sensitivity. If register marks are detected by mistake, lower the sensitivity. Generally, use it with the setting value of “4”. Setting Value Description ON/OFF Make the setting to “ON” when using the “Fill around the register mark” function of the RIP software to detect the printed register mark. Use a register mark size of 10 mm or more when filling in around the register mark.

Set the dummy cutting function to OFF when you do not want to damage the media in cutting cut-out characters. About Pressure Correction Offset (ADJ- PRS OFFSET) Some part of a media is left uncut because the pressure applied when the cutter blade touches the media is weak. When an optional eccentric blade is used, some part of a media to be cut with the blade's angle being 120 degrees or less may be left uncut. This is because the corners are cut with a low pressure (about 5 g) automatically applied so that the media does not turn up. Some part of a media may be left uncut because the blade edge does not rotate smoothly in its moving direction with the cutting pressure being low. In such a case, configure the setting for the pressure to be increased when the corners are cut.

Precautions for Maintenance Pay attention to the following items when maintaining this machine. Cleaning the Exterior Surfaces When the exterior surfaces of the machine are stained, dampen a soft cloth with water or a neutral detergent diluted with water, squeeze it, and wipe the surfaces with the cloth. Cleaning the Platen The platen easily gets dirty with lint, paper dust, etc. generated when a media is cut. Wipe off conspicuous stains with a soft-hair brush, a dry cloth, a paper towel, etc. • Always keep the main power turned “ON”. • Remove any media that has been set. • If water or alcohol becomes mixed into the UV curingink (UV ink), flocculation could occurred. Be careful to keep water and alcohol away from both- the nozzles and the heads. • This machine uses UV curing ink (UV ink). When handling ink and cleaning solution, pay close attention to ventilation and be sure to wear the included safety glasses and gloves. • Never disassemble this machine. Disassembling it can result in electric shock hazards or damage to the machine. Before maintenance, be sure to turn off the power switch and unplug the power cable. Otherwise, an unexpected accident may occur. • Prevent moisture from entering the machine. Mois- ture inside the machine can cause electric shock hazards or damage to the machine. • To ensure stable ink jetting, it is necessary for the machine to eject a small amount of ink (flushing) regularly when a printing (outputting) operation has not been performed for a long time. • When the machine is not to be used for a long time, turn off only the power switch on the front side, leave the main power switch at the right side turned ON (in the position of | ), and leave the power cable connected. • Do not wipe the nozzle face of the heads, wiper, caps, etc. with water or alcohol. Doing so can cause nozzle clogging or machine failure. • Do not use benzene, thinner, or any chemical agent containing an abrasive. Such materials can deterio- rate or deform the surface of the cover. • Do not apply a lubricant, etc. to any parts inside the machine. Doing so can cause printing failure. • Be careful that the cleaning solution, ink, etc. do not stick to the cover, because this may cause the surface of the cover to deteriorate or deform. • When the platen is stained with ink, wipe it off with a paper towel containing a small amount of clean- ing solution for maintenance. • When ink smears the end face of the media, be sure to clean it. • When ink adheres frequently, we recommended to set the suction fan to "weak" or "standard". • Because dust and dirt easily accumulate in the slots for holding a media and cutting paper (cutter line), be sure to clean these parts carefully. Chapter 5 Maintenance 5-3 5 2 Cleaning the Media Sensor The media sensors are located on the platen in the backside and the bottom surface of the head. When the sensor is covered with dust, etc., it may cause false detection of media. Using a cotton swab, remove the dust, etc. accumulated on the surface of the sensor. When cleaning the sensor on the lower surface of the head is cleaned, move the carriage to the left end by the operations of step 1 of P.5-12“Cleaning the Ink Head and the Area around It”, and clean it. Cleaning the Media Press When the media press is covered with lint, dust, etc., a media cannot be fed normally during printing or dust sticks to the nozzles, which may result in abnormal printing. Clean the media press regularly.

Ошибка 504 Gateway Time out появляется внутри окна браузера, как обычная веб-страница. На ней могут быть знакомые верхние и нижние колонтитулы сайта и красивое английское сообщение. Также подобная ошибка может отображаться на полностью белой странице с большой цифрой 504 вверху. Это одно и то же сообщение, независимо от того, как сайт показывает его вам.
Помните, что ошибка 504 Gateway Time out и 502 Bad Gateway nginx может появиться в любом браузере, операционной системе и на любом устройстве.
В большинстве случаев ошибка 504 Gateway Timeout означает, что любой сервер, который выдает «тайм-аут», «упал» или неправильно работает.
Поскольку эта ошибка обычно возникает между серверами в интернете, то, вероятно, она не связана с вашим компьютером, устройством или интернет-соединением.
Перезагрузите веб-страницу, нажав кнопку обновление / перезагрузка, в F5 или повторив URL-адрес из адресной строки.
Несмотря на то, что 504 Gateway Timeout и ошибка 502 Bad Gateway сообщает о неподконтрольной вам ошибке, проблема может быть временной. Просто перезагрузите страницу — это быстро и легко.
- Перезапустите все сетевые устройства. Временные проблемы с модемом, маршрутизатором, коммутаторами или другим сетевым оборудованием могут вызывать ошибку 504 Gateway Timeout. Простой перезапуск этих устройств может помочь.
Подсказка: При том, что порядок выключения этих устройств не важен, порядок включения их наоборот очень важен.
- Проверьте настройки прокси-сервера в своем браузере или приложении. Убедитесь, что они верны. Неправильные настройки прокси-сервера могут вызвать 504 ошибку.
Подсказка. Смотрите Proxy.org обновленный, проверенный список прокси-серверов, которые можно использовать.
Примечание. Большинство компьютеров не имеют настроек прокси-сервера, поэтому, если ваши настройки пусты, пропустите этот шаг.
- Измените DNS-сервер. Возможно, ошибка 504 Gateway Timeout, которую вы видите, вызвана проблемой с DNS-сервером, который вы используете.
Примечание. DNS-сервер, используемый сейчас, вероятно, автоматически назначается вашим провайдером. К счастью, для использования доступны другие DNS-сервера, которые можно выбрать.
Подсказка. Если не все сетевые устройства получают ошибку HTTP 504 или 502 error Bad Gateway, но все они находятся в одной сети, изменение DNS-сервера не сработает. Если это похоже на вашу ситуацию, переходите к следующей идее.
- Если изменений не произошло, обратитесь к сайту. Это единственное, что вы можете сделать. Велика вероятность, что администраторы сайта уже работают, чтобы исправить первопричину ошибки 504 Gateway Timeout.
На большинстве сайтов есть учетные записи социальных сетей, которые они используют для поддержки. А некоторые даже имеют номера телефонов и адреса электронной почты.
Подсказка. Если начинает казаться, что сайт выдает 504 ошибку для всех, поищите в Twitter в режиме реального времени информацию о недоступности сайта. Лучший способ сделать это — найти #websitedown в Twitter. Например, если Facebook может быть недоступен, выполните поиск по тегу #facebookdown.
- Обратитесь к своему интернет-провайдеру. Вероятнее всего, что после описанного выше устранения неполадок, выскакивающая 504 Gateway Timeout — это проблема, вызванная неполадками в Сети, за которую отвечает ваш провайдер.
- Вернуться позже. На данный момент вы исчерпали все варианты, и ошибка 504 Gateway Timeout устраняется администратором сайта или интернет-провайдером.
Регулярно проверяйте сайт. Без сомнения, он снова начнет работать.
В большинстве случаев это происходит не по вашей вине, но и не по вине пользователей вашего ресурса. Начните с проверки того, что сервер может правильно предоставлять доступ ко всем доменам, к которым требуют доступ ваши приложения.
Большие объемы трафика могут привести к тому, что ваш сервер будет выдавать ошибку 504. Хотя 503 или ошибка 502 Bad Gateway будет более вероятна.
В частности, в WordPress сообщение 504: Gateway Timeout иногда возникает из-за поврежденных баз данных. Установите WP-DBManager и попробуйте применить функцию «Восстановить БД», а затем «Оптимизировать БД». Посмотрите, поможет ли это.
Убедитесь, что ваш файл HTACCESS правильный. Особенно если вы только что переустановили WordPress.
Свяжитесь с технической поддержкой хостинга. Возможно, ошибка 504, возвращаемая вашим сайтом, связана с проблемой на их стороне, которую они должны решить.
Ошибка Gateway Timeout при получении в Windows Update генерирует код ошибки 0x80244023 или сообщение WU_E_PT_HTTP_STATUS_GATEWAY_TIMEOUT.
В программах на базе Windows, которые изначально обращаются к интернету, ошибка 504 может отображаться в небольшом диалоговом окне или окне с ошибкой HTTP_STATUS_GATEWAY_TIMEOUT и/или сообщение The request was timed out waiting for a gateway (истекло время ожидания запроса для шлюза).
Менее распространенная ошибка 504 — это Gateway Time-out: The proxy server did not receive a timely response from the upstream server (прокси-сервер не получил своевременного ответа от вышестоящего сервера), но поиск и устранение неисправностей (указанных выше) продолжается.
Ряд сообщений об ошибках аналогичен ошибке 504 Gateway Timeout, поскольку все они происходят на стороне сервера. Некоторые включают в себя ошибку 500 Internal Server («Внутренняя ошибка сервера»), ошибку 502 Bad Gateway (что это означает — «Неверный шлюз»), и ошибку 503 Service Unavailable («Сервис временно недоступен»), среди нескольких других.
Существуют также коды статуса HTTP, которые не являются серверными, а возникают на клиентской стороне. Например, часто встречающаяся ошибка 404 Not Found («Страница не найдена»).
Проблемы, при которых на дисплее появляются сообщения об ошибке
Если в работе устройства возникают проблемы, то раздается звуковой сигнал, и на дисплее появляется соответствующее сообщение об ошибке.
Выполните необходимые корректирующие действия в соответствии с сообщением на дисплее.
Ошибки, сопровождающиеся предупредительными сигналами
Эти ошибки обычно имеют отношение к элементам устройства, которые связаны с чернилами.
Сообщения об ошибках
В сообщениях об ошибках указан номер ошибки. Если на дисплее появилось какое-либо сообщение об ошибке, отключите питание устройства и затем через некоторое время включите его снова. Если на дисплее вновь появится такое же сообщение, свяжитесь с местным дистрибьютором MIMAKI или обратитесь за помощью непосредственно в сервисную службу компании MIMAKI.
Сообщение об ошибке
Отключите на некоторое время питание устройство, затем включите его снова. При появлении на дисплее того же сообщения, обратитесь к местному дистрибьютору за сервисной помощью.
