VJ-1628MH V 1.13


** When updating F/W Main Ver1.13, please make sure to use MSA tool Ver.6.0.6 higher

Bug Fix: 

  • During media detection, user type selection, or media thickness correction input, the screen times out and the printer proceeds to the next operation (paper width detection).
  •  When data is received while the warning message added in the previous version is displayed when the printer temperature exceeds the operating range, "*** Printer Manager ***" may continue to be displayed from the start of printing. 


Change: 

  • When printing continuously in a high-temperature environment, the head temperature rose to around 43C. The high temperature warning threshold was changed from 45C to 50C, and the warning display clear point was changed from 43C to 48C.

VJ-1628MH V 1.12


** When updating F/W Main Ver1.12, please make sure to use MSA tool Ver.6.0.6 higher

Bug Fix: 

  • A CPU error occurs when connecting to a PC with antivirus software (AVG AntiVirus) installed.
  • When restarting printing after an "Obstacle Detection Error" occurs during printing, the CR hits the media and a "E072Err CR Current" occurs.
  • When printing data created with Fiery's RIP, missing dots and misaligned printing of specific colors occur.
  • If the cover is opened during the soak cleaning countdown, panel key operations will be disabled.


Added: 

  • Added a User Copy function to the User Type menu. Copying settings improves ease of use when using similar media.
  • Using the printer in a temperature environment outside the guaranteed operating range may cause mechanical problems or physical problems (the ink may change quality or not curing).
    To prevent and suppress such problems, a warning will be displayed on the main panel and on VerteLith and MSM if the printer temperature (temperature information for head 1) falls below 18C or exceeds 45C. If the printer temperature falls within the guaranteed operating range, these warnings will automatically disappear.


Changes: 

  • If the ink bag is removed without removing the high capacity ink pack adapter while stirring the ink, the ink end detection flag will react and the ink is out flag will be set.
     Only when the printer is in standby mode and not consuming ink, if the ink pack is removed, "Check ink" will be displayed to prompt the user to check the cartridge status.
