Sony UPDR150 Thermal Photo Printer - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

When the head have lines , the problem is in the drum. The drum in that printer maybe is to expensive but you will try to get in ebay.

Could be old toner take it out and shake it then replace and see

- in my case I received the error "mecha trouble cutter pos" I removed both side panels and the panel directly in front of the cutter this gave me access to the cutter assembly where I found that the cable that runs the cutter had fallen off of the pulleys.I was able to get the cable back onto the pulleys and now the printer works perfectly

checking the gear by taking off both side panels and the panel directly in front of the cutter helped me - in my case I received the error "mecha trouble cutter pos" problem was, the cable that runs the cutter had fallen off of the pulleys and after a bit of fussing, I was able to get the cable back in place and a working printer.

One of the pins is bent. Its not closing completely so when it prints the heads are not touching the media evenly causing this effect. We have four of these printers and have seen this before. You need to take some pliers and straighten the bent pin in the door to match the one on the opposite side. These pins are located near the top edges of the printer door.

1. • 1 Attempt to set the printer to online. This may not often work but it's the first action to take. Go to "Settings" and then "Printers". Right click on the "Printer" and select "Use Printer Online". Test the printer to see if it now prints.
     
   • 2 Clear any print jobs. Double click on the "Printer" after performing the above step. Go to the "Printer Menu" and select "Cancel All Documents". There could have been a stuck print job that would cause the printer to go offline. Try once again to set the printer back online and try printing a test page.
     
   • 3 Turn on the printer. Make sure the printer is turned on and turn it off, wait a minute and then turn it on again. Check to see if the is jammed. Check all the network connections to make sure none are loose. Repeat the above steps again if necessary.
     
   • 4 Restart the computer. If this doesn't work, you will have to reinstall the drivers. Go to "Settings" then "Printers" and select the printer. Right click on the printer and choose "Properties". Under the "General" or "Details Tab" look for the driver button and select it and choose the driver again. You may also have to download the driver from the printer manufacturer website.
     
   • 5 Reinstall the printer. Under "Printers" in the "Settings" menu, go back and select the printer, then delete the printer and reinstall the printer through the add printer wizard. Use the latest printer driver from the printer manufacturer's website.
     

RESOLUTION Clean the Thermal Head, black rollers, and gray roller with 99% pure Isopropyl Alcohol to remove any visible debris.
The Rollers should be cleaned with a lens cloth and Isopropyl alcohol as needed, or every other Print Pack

Hi, sounds like the print head / looks like a scratch but is one point on the print head that is not firing propperly

The fact is, what you should have is one thing only, i.e. go to the printer menu/maintenance/align. This will perform an alignment of your colours. The process many consume about 2 to 3 sheets of paper. Now, for SONY printers the nomenclature may be slightly different (for instance match/register etc may be used), but the procedure is same. Just look for anything that implies alignment and you are there. The truth is nothing is likely wrong with the machine.

Good Luck & God bless!

Try to find the door sensor and see what`s going on. I mean look for an obstruction and see what happend

Hi,

I think (like a roller or a thread or wire) of printer is touching the paper. Check head get in the way; try running a thread clean properly and get a print.

Thanks,

When I saw this problem it was because the thermal head was not close enough of the ribbon.
Check if the two little aatach of the front door are not bent and have them horizontally aligned.
I hope it will help
Regards
Patrick

The black spool of the ribbon has a built in chip, If that chip is damaged it renders the ribbon unuseable. Be very careful if you take out party used ribbons and re insert them later.

Sounds like dust within the front compartment. Remove the ribbon AND the paper roll. Give the unit a blow out with compressed air. Also wipe the print head with an alchol wipe.
