My dtp41UV has been generating a substantial amount of strip read
errors lately and just last night it refused to read the calibration
strip. Restarts, saving sessions, etc seem to do no good. Is it
possible the drive motor may have gone south, or is there a belt
that might be slipping inside? Is there anything that can be done by
the layman to crank out a few quick profiles for some samples on a
new media?
I'm using profilemaker pro 4.5. I know there tends to be an error
when you scramble the patches (which I have done), but it must be
more than that as the inability to read the calibration strip is
proof the problem does not lie simply with the black or white gap
indicators.
I'm hoping to maybe find a solution before monday (dream on newbie!).
Just saw this post today... sorry!
My DTP41 has always been very fussy about proper strip length beyond
the test patches. Make sure there's enough material left, out to the
ends of the strips as set up in the page size dialogue.
Other than that, if you can't get a calibration strip read, the device
won't be operationally reliable. It'll need to go back for repair /
recalibration.
You say you're a newbie? Did you purchase the device as rebuilt or
used? What's the date on the supplied calibration strip? That would
indicate the last time the device was put back to factory specs.
