The Power-saving Feature  
This machine is provided with a power-saving feature that switches to a low-power "sleep mode" when a fixed  
interval passes with no operation. The factory default for the time after which the machine switches to the sleep  
mode is 30 minutes.  
You can change the setting for the time of the shift to the sleep mode. You can also switch off the power-saving  
feature.  
ꢀ p 79 "Setting the Interval until Activation of the Sleep Mode"  
ꢀ p 80 "Deactivating the Sleep Mode"  
When the machine is in the sleep mode, the POWER light flashes slowly and the heating devices stop.  
Using the control panel or performing operations such as sending printing data from the computer (when media  
is loaded) restore the machine to its normal mode.  
To reduce power consumption and prevent problems such as overheating, we recommend leaving the power-  
saving feature on and setting the activation time for the sleep mode to 30 minutes or less.

2-3 Settings of Preheater,Print Heater and Dryer  
What Are the Preheater, Print Heater and Dryer?  
This machine is equipped with three devices for heating media. You use these mainly to improve ink adhesion  
and dry the ink. You can adjust the temperature settings to match the type of media and printing speed.  
Preheater  
This device warms the media before  
printing.  
Print heater  
This device is used mainly to improve  
ink adhesion.  
Dryer  
You use this to speed up drying of the  
ink.  
The platen and dryer become hot. Exercise caution to avoid fire or burns.  
WARNING  
Never leave media loaded in the machine when printing is not being performed.  
The continued application of heat at a single location may cause fire or produce toxic gases.  
When printing is not being performed, switch off the power or remove any loaded media.  
WARNING  
Never use media that cannot withstand the heat.  
Doing so may result in fire or the release of toxic gases, or may degrade the media.

2-3 Settings of Preheater, Print Heater and Dryer  
General Guide for the PresetTemperatures  
The optimal temperature settings vary according to the type of media, differences in the print mode, and other  
factors. Use the following as a general guide and adjust accordingly.  
General Guide for Adjustment  
Preheater  
Set this to a temperature that is the same as or lower than the temperature of the print heater.  
You use the preheater mainly to heat media gradually. This is because media becomes more likely to shrink or  
wrinkle if heated suddenly.  
Print heater  
You use this mainly to improve ink adhesion and inhibit smudging.  
If the ink forms lumps or smudges, raise the temperature. Note, however, that a temperature that is too high may  
degrade the media or cause it to wrinkle.  
Dryer  
When ink drying is poor, raise the temperature. Note, however, that a temperature that is too high may degrade  
the media or cause it to wrinkle.  
The relationship between the print mode and temperature  
If smudging or poor drying occur even after raising the temperature, try using a print mode offering higher image  
quality. Conversely, when you want to use a faster print mode, raise the temperature.  
Amount of ink  
When you change the amount of ink using the settings for your RIP program, adjusting this may yield better  
results. If problems such as smudging persist even after raising the temperature, try reducing the amount of ink.  
Examples of PresetTemperatures  
Media  
Temperature  
Preheater: 45˚C (112˚F)  
Print heater: 45˚C (112˚F)  
Dryer: 50˚C (122˚F)

Dryer: 45˚C (112˚F)  
Type: Marking film (PVC, with adhesive)  
Thickness: 60 to 100 µm (2.5 to 4 mil, not including backing paper)  
➢These are only rough estimates. Make adjustments to match the media you're using.  
➢Using the heating devices does not necessarily make it possible to apply ink to every kind of media. Be sure to test  
in advance.  
➢Results may vary greatly depending on the print mode and other factors. Make settings suited to the media.  
➢When suggested settings for temperature, print mode, and other values are given, use the suggested settings.

Switch On the Power Once a Month  
Switch on the sub power once a month. When you turn on the power, the machine automatically performs some  
operations such as those to keep the print heads from drying out. Allowing the machine to stand completely  
unused for a prolonged period may damage the print heads, so be sure to switch on the power to perform these  
automatic operations.  
Keep at a ConstantTemperature and Relative Humidity  
Even when the machine is not in use, keep it at a temperature of 5 to 40˚C (41 to 104˚F) and a relative humidity  
of 20 to 80% (with no condensation). Temperatures that are too high may degrade the ink and cause malfunc-  
tion. Temperatures that are too low may cause the ink to freeze and damage the heads.  
Alarm Feature  
This feature is to remind you to switch on the sub power once a month. When  
the machine remains unused for about one month, this screen appears and a  
warning beep sounds. If this screen appears, switch on the sub power. When  
maintenance operations finish, switch off the sub power.  
PRESS THE POWER

Description  
Depending on the media, media may wrinkle or come loose from the platen during printing, increasing the  
chance of contact with the print heads. When you are using such media, adjust the head height to "High."  
Note that the height of the heads cannot be determined by just the thickness of the media.  
When the height is set to "Low," the media clamps cannot be used. Except in special cases, the "Low" setting  
should never be used. Doing so may cause the heads to strike the clamps and become damaged.

Description  
The bidirectional-printing mode (in which the heads perform printing during both their outbound pass and  
return pass) offers the advantage of being fast, but subtle misalignment occurs between the outbound and return  
passes. The procedure to correct this and eliminate misalignment is bidirectional correction. This misalignment  
varies according to the head height and the thickness of the media, so we recommend performing correction to  
match the media you're using.  
Redoing correction every time you change the media is extremely troublesome. You can take correction values  
that you have acquired and save them in the machine's memory for easy access whenever they are needed.

4-3 Optimizing Printing to Match MediaThickness  
Description  
The movement transfer of media experiences subtle changes due to the thickness of the media and the tempera-  
ture of the heating devices. When the movement distance becomes discrepant, horizontal stripes are more likely  
to occur during printing. We recommend performing correction to match the media you're using and the heating  
devices. Repeat the process of printing a test pattern and entering a correction value a number of times to find  
the optimize value.  
Printing this test pattern using parameters identical to those for actual printing. Also, using material such as  
media scraps that have passed through the printer may not yield correct results.  
Note, however, that you can also make this setting on the computer (by, for example, choosing the media type in  
the RIP program you are using). Use this feature when you want to make the setting on the printer, without  
changing any settings on the computer. When you have made the setting on the computer, the computer's setting  
is used and the printer's setting is ignored.

SETUP SHEET  
Description  
Reducing the width of head movement to the minimum required width speeds up printing. This is effective  
mainly when you use media of narrow width. Because the media moves more quickly, the effectiveness of the  
heating devices also changes. It may be necessary to change the preset temperatures.  
"MEDIA" matches the range of head movement to the width of the media.The parameters for the heating devices  
change according to the media width.  
"OFF" matches the range of head movement to the printing data. Movement is limited to the minimum amount  
necessary, and this can be expected to yield the fastest printing. Note, however, that because the speed of media  
movement is no longer constant, colors may be uneven.  
"FULL" makes the speed of media movement constant at all times.

The platen uses suction to grip the media and keep it stable. When media comes loose from the platen because  
it is warped or wrinkled, increasing the suction force may help correct the problem. Conversely, when the media  
is flimsy and cannot move smoothly, reducing the suction force may help.  
When set to [AUTO], the suction force is automatically adjusted to the optimal level for the media width.  
You can also make this setting on the computer. When you have made the setting on the computer, the computer's

ambient temperature is low, and at other such times. Under some conditions, this ink may be transferred to the

Using this feature results in longer printing times. Because printing is paused, colors may also be uneven.

[CONT.] (continue) is a mode in which operation is not automatically stopped. When a cartridge becomes

Printed Results Are Coarse or Contain Horizontal Stripes  
or where it may wobble or experience vibration. Also  
make sure that the print heads are not exposed to mov-  
ing air.These factors may lead to missing dots or reduced  
printing quality.  
Do the print heads show dot drop-out?  
Carry out a printing test and make sure no dot drop-out  
occurs. If dot drop-out is present, perform head cleaning.  
ꢀ p 44 "Printing Tests and Cleaning"  
Is the media loaded and set up correctly?  
If the media is not loaded and set up correctly, media  
feed may not be smooth, or printing may be adversely  
affected.  
ꢀ p 53 "When Head Cleaning Is Not Effective"  
Have you carried out feed correction?  
Large misalignment in the amount of feed of the media  
may result in printing that seems coarse or contains hori-  
zontal stripes. Either make the setting on the computer  
to match the type of media you're using, or make the  
setting for correction on the printer.  
ꢀ p 95 "Media Wrinkles or Shrinks, or Feed Is Un-  
stable"  
Colors Are Unstable or Uneven  
ꢀ p 73 "Performing Feed Correction to Alleviate Hori-  
zontal Bands and the Like"  
Did you shake the ink cartridges gently before in-  
stalling them?  
Have you carried out bidirectional correction?  
When you are performing bidirectional printing, use the  
[ADJUST BI-DIR] menu item to carry out correction.The  
optimal adjustment value may vary, depending mainly  
on the thickness of the media. Set or select an adjust-  
ment value that is suited to the media.  
Before you install a new ECO-SOL INK cartridge, gently  
shake the cartridge.  
Is the media wrinkled?  
If the media is wrinkled and comes loose from the platen,  
colors may be uneven or printing reduce may suffer.  
ꢀ p 95 "Media Wrinkles or Shrinks, or Feed Is Un-  
stable"  
ꢀ p 69 "Correcting for Misalignment in Bidirectional  
Printing"  
Are the heating devices at a suitable temperature?  
If the ink forms lumps or smudges, raise the tempera-  
ture. Note, however, that a temperature that is too high  
may degrade the media or cause it to wrinkle.  
Was printing paused partway through?  
When printing is paused, the coloring at the seam may  
be altered when printing resumes. Avoid pausing print-  
ing. With the factory-default settings, printing pauses  
when an ink cartridge runs empty. Before you perform  
lengthy printing, check the amount of ink remaining in  
the ink cartridges.  
ꢀ p 40 "Settings of Preheater, Print Heater and Dryer"  
Is the temperature of the room too low?  
The heating devices may not warm up sufficiently when  
the temperature is 20˚C (68˚F) or lower. Also, even when  
the heating devices reach their preset temperatures, ad-  
equate effectiveness may not be apparent if the media is  
thoroughly chilled. Before printing, allow the media to  
come to room temperature.  
Printing may also pause when data is not sent from the  
computer quickly enough. We recommend not perform-  
ing any other tasks with the computer while printing is  
in progress.  
Are the operating parameters set to appropriate  
values?  
Is the print mode suitable?  
Depending on the settings for such menu items as [FULL  
WIDTH S] and [PERIODIC CL.], uneven colors may oc-  
cur. If the settings have been changed, try restoring them  
to their default values.  
ꢀ p 76 "Speeding Up Printing for Narrow Media"  
ꢀ p 77 "Keeping Media from Being Soiled by Ink  
Drips"  
When you are using uncoated media and attractive print-  
ing is not obtained even after you have raised the tem-  
perature of the preheater or print heater, try using a  
higher-quality print mode. Also, using the menu on the  
printer unit to make the setting for [SCAN INTERVAL]  
may improve printing quality.  
ꢀ p 75 "Printing Hard-to-dry Media"  
Depending on the media, smudging may occur when  
using a high-quality print mode, and results may also  
vary greatly depending on the settings of your RIP pro-  
gram (such as the color-profile selection). Make settings  
suited to the media you're using.  
Is the printer installed in a level and stable location?  
Never install the machine in a location where it is tilted  
or where it may wobble or experience vibration. Also,  
ensure that the printing heads are not exposed to wind  
or blown air. These factors may lead to missing dots or  
reduced printing quality.

5-2 Attractive Printing Is Impossible  
The Media Becomes SoiledWhen Printed  
Do the print heads contact the media?  
The height of the print heads may be too low. Also, if the  
media is not loaded and set up correctly, it may wrinkle  
or come loose and strike the heads.

stable"  
ꢀ p 68 "Adjusting Head Height to Match MediaThick-  
ness"  
Are the print heads dirty?  
The following may cause ink to drip on the media dur-  
ing printing.  
• Buildup of fibrous dust (lint) around the heads  
• Ink transferred to the heads due to rubbing against the  
media.  
If this happens, clean the heads using the cleaning kit.  
We recommend carrying out periodic head cleaning.  
ꢀ p 55 "Cleaning the Heads Using the Cleaning Kit"  
Are the pinch rollers dirty?  
Periodically clean the pinch rollers.

5-5 MediaWrinkles or Shrinks, or Feed Is Unstable  
A variety of problems can occur if the media feed is not  
smooth.This can cause such problems as poor printing quality,  
contact with the media by the print heads, misaligned posi-  
tioning, media jams, or poor take-up.Take action as follows.  
The Media Is Not Straight  
Is the media loaded and set up straight and securely?  
Feed is not smooth when the media is not straight or  
tensioned unevenly on the left and right. Reload the  
media.  
MediaWrinkles or Shrinks  
Are the feed dancer rollers level?  
Is the media loaded and set up straight and securely?  
Feed is not smooth when the media is not straight or  
tensioned unevenly on the left and right. Reload the  
media.  
If they are not level, the media may become crooked or  
wrinkle. Adjust the position of the balance weights to  
match the width of the media.  
Is media loaded correctly?  
Are the feed dancer rollers level?  
Make sure the media is passed through the guide roller  
and dancer rollers correctly.  
If they are not level, the media may become crooked or  
wrinkle. Adjust the position of the balance weights to  
match the width of the media.  
Media Feed Is Not Smooth  
Is media loaded correctly?  
Make sure the media is passed through the guide roller  
and dancer rollers correctly.  
Do the media or the dancer rollers strike some other  
object?  
Make sure the media and the dancer rollers do not touch  
anything else. This may affect printing, even when feed  
appears to be smooth.  
Are the media clamps mounted?  
Be sure to attach the media clamps.  
Was loaded media allowed to stand for some time?  
Media may shrink or wrinkle if it is heated for an ex-  
tended time. When printing ends, switch off the sub  
power or remove the media.  
Is the media too thick?  
Media that is too thick may not only cause unstable feed,  
but may scrape the print heads, resulting in malfunc-  
tion. Never use such media.  
Was the media loaded while the heating devices were  
hot?  
Are the grit rollers dirty?  
Check to make sure the grit rollers are free of buildup of  
foreign material such as media scraps.  
Loading media after the heating devices have warmed  
up causes the temperature of the media to rise suddenly,  
which may cause the media to shrink or wrinkle during  
printing. Before loading media, switch off the sub power  
and allow them to cool.  
Is the temperature of the heating devices too high?  
Set the temperature to suitable values for the type of  
media.  
ꢀ p 40 "Settings of Preheater, Print Heater and Dryer"  
Is the roll media sagging?  
Sagging of the roll can cause wrinkling or warping. At-  
tach the reinforcement pipe when loading the media.  
Also, when storing media, place it so that it will not sag  
under its own weight.

5-6The Print Heads Stopped Moving  
If the print-head carriage stops over the platen,take  
action immediately to prevent the heads from dry-  
ing out.  
5. Make the guides at the edges of the print heads line  
up with the printing heads at the edges of the cap  
unit. Turn the tool further to bring the heads near the  
cap unit.  
What to Do First  
Switch the sub power off, then back on again. (If the  
media is jammed, then also remove the media.) If the  
heads move to the standby position (inside the right side  
cover), it means the operation has ended successfully.  
If the heads did not move, try switching off the main  
power, then again switching on the main power, followed  
by the sub power.  
6. When the heads make contact with the cap unit, turn  
the tool one or two more turns.  
If the Heads Still Do Not Move  
If the heads still do not move, carry out the following  
emergency response measure, then contact your autho-  
rized Roland DG Corp. dealer or Roland DG Corp. ser-  
vice center.  
Make sure the print heads are capped tightly.  
1. Switch off the main power and detach the right side  
cover.  
2. Open the front cover.  
3. Gently move the print heads by hand as far as the  
standby position.  
4. Insert the cap-unit tool into the hole at the bottom of  
the machine and turn gently. The cap unit rises.
