Printer Pausing

Quick Question . . maybe someone's seen this before.

I'm working with 2 64s and Onyx 6.5 and right now my printer just stop in the middle of printing, the printer still says it's printing ,Oynx says it's still printing but nothing happens. i have to end up turning the printers off, the restarting my rip and trying again, but then it occurs all over again. And it seems to be random, like it dons't always do it at the same spot in the print

Any suggestions

Sounds like a driver issue. Try updating your driver.

Sometimes it could also be winder problem. Just put the switch for winding to off (middle position).

if there's an orange light showing on the panel then the take-up i swaiting to be cleared.
if not then i'd suspect the aspi driver in onyx. i've seen this a lot when using onyx, but i thought they'd cured it in 6.5

There is no indication that it is a winding issue (no lights flashing, stock goes up fine) I've updated the drivers (aspi and others) and did a fix that onyx put out but it is still doing it. I'm printing 20 ft mesh banners on 63" stock, and 2 pass, if this might have anything to do with it

Are you running both printers from one PC with Onyx? (Not a good Idea)
If so, are they on their own Scsi cards, you may be gettig memory loss within the PC I have seen this with a Shiraz Rip. Make sure you are using Onyx 6.5 revision 3, Lower builds had time out issues with the Seiko, but you should be only running one Seiko per PC and Rip.

this started happening to us a few weeks back.  I've tried everything with no luck.  I have found though if you wait long enough (5-10minutes) that the Seiko does start printing at regular speeds after sitting idle while saying it's printing.  Not sure how or why.

Also, CutServer is taking about 15 minutes to open for whatever reason.

I had this problem shortly after upgrading to 7.0 production house. the onyx website had some new drivers but this did not solve the problem. we ended up swapping the computers around as our system did not have the 1GB Ram that was required (just shy of it) and we think this is what has solved it as it has not happened since.

Hi folks, I currently have this problem of the printer stopping when printing. I have disconnected the printer from the computer, but when instructed to test print, it simply print 1 single line and freezes on the capping station, yet it writes printing on the LCD screen.
