i have a sanyo ecr 140 cash register , it recently stopped printing. the printing wheel was not traveling across the tape. i cleaned the travel rods and lightly lubed the rods. this worked for 3 weeks . same problem occured again. are replacement parts still available? are there other options?
If it worked for a while, the mech has probably got ink on the rails. Use meths to wash the rails. Try to rinse until the ink residue runs off of them then try. If it still plays up, usually time for a new printer.
