Lora,
I don't know just what you have tried to this point after Herbs reply but try
this if you haven't found the problem.
With the Amaya on, click on the "Maintenance tab", and then select
"Steppers". In the left column, under the heading of "Color Change", click on
the "Home" tab. This will command the needle case to seek out its home position
on needle # 9. If this does not work for you then we may need to try to move
the needle case a half color change one way or the other. This must be done
"very carefully" as the Amaya "princess" as Herb refers to his, does not take
kindly to having her needlecase sprung.
It appears from the description you have given that the needlecase has gotten
just a half a color change off. If this is the case and you need some help,
please call me and I will talk you through resetting it to the right position.
It is not a difficult thing to accomplish, just must be done carefully. There
is the possibility that the sensor has moved, gotten oil and lint on it, etc,
and have to be replaced, but we'll try other things first.

Subject: [amayausers] Not on Needle
Ok we have used 2 cans of air and thought it was going to work...it went
from needle 16 to needle 9..like it was supposed to do when we powered
up....then went past needle 9 to between 7 and 8 and stopped...we have blown
some more and tried to look from both sides for anything and cannot see
anything that would be oil or lint stopping it....we have powered up numerous
times and it doesn't move...only thing it will do now is when we hit the
emergency stop and then hit it again to restart it will move to the other side
of 8...do it again and it goes back to the first side of 8......we get the head
up error and the color change time out error and the color change stepper index
errors....Now we can't even use it for single color designs..Any other ideas
besides a phone call for a tech? grrrrr
Our machines are 2003 models...
