Machine Highlights
Features of This Machine

This machine is provided with the following features.
Also supports printing on thick materials

This printer can print on a variety of materials from thin paper to thick materials. Using UV ink, this printer
can print high-quality images on various types of media (the general name for the material to be printed
on).
Fast printing thanks to the bidirectional printing function

By adding a bidirectional printing function, we have further reduced the printing time.
Head gap sensor

In order to print high-quality images safely, the table’s height is automatically adjusted according to the
height of the media loaded on the table.
Specification of the print-start location and the printing area using an LED pointer
Using the LED pointer installed as a standard feature, you can easily and accurately specify the print-start
location and the printing area. You can also verify the printing area before you carry out printing, which can
help prevent failures when performing actual printing (preview feature).
Features of ECO-UV Inks

This printer uses ECO-UV inks. ECO-UV inks are fixed to the media instantly by ultraviolet light. This makes it
possible to perform printing on media that is difficult to print on using conventional inks. ECO-UV inks are
available in a lineup of six colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, back, white, and gloss [two colors]).

• Never needlessly touch or allow media to scrape the print heads. Failure to handle the print heads with
care may cause damage.
• The print heads may be damaged if allowed to dry out. The machine prevents desiccation automatically, but
improper operation may render this feature inoperative. Operate the machine properly, as specified in this manual.
• Never leave the machine with an ink cartridge removed. The remaining ink in the printer may harden and
clog the print heads.
• The print heads are components that wear out. Periodic replacement is required, with the frequency of
replacement depending on use.

Important Notes on Handling and Use
Ink Cartridges
Ink cartridges come in various types.

• Use a type that is compatible with the printer. Also, be sure to use only genuine items from Roland DG
Corp.
Never subject ink cartridges to impacts or attempt to disassemble them.

• Never drop the ink cartridges or shake them forcefully. The impact may rupture the internal pouches and
cause the ink to leak.
• Never attempt to disassemble the ink cartridges.
• Never attempt to refill the ink.
• If ink gets on your hands or clothing, wash it off as soon as possible. Removal may become difficult if you
leave such adhered ink untreated.
Storage
• Use up the ink before the expiration date printed on the ink cartridge.
• Store the ink cartridge in a location that is not subject to direct sunlight or strong illumination.
• Store the ink cartridges unopened in a well-ventilated location at a temperature of 5°C (41°F) or higher
and less than 35°C (95°F) and a relative humidity of 20 to 80%RH.
• Once opened, store the ink cartridge in the sealed original (shading) bag. Failure to do so may lead to the
ink hardening and becoming unusable. (This is limited to the case in which the ink cartridge is purchased
in a shading bag.)

STEP 3: Printing Tests and Normal Cleaning

Check for dot drop-out by performing printing tests before and after daily operations. If dot drop-out occurs,
perform cleaning of the print heads (normal cleaning). Leaving the dot drop-out untreated may damage the
print heads, so be sure to check for this condition each day after operation.
* Dot drop-out is a condition where dust or other foreign matter adheres to the print heads and interferes with
normal ink emission.
1. Perform a Printing Test on Media for Testing
1. Remove just the white ink cartridge, shake it 50 times (about 15 seconds), and then reinsert this cartridge.
NOTE
The components in the white ink have a tendency to precipitate. If ink components precipitate, it will not
be possible to sufficiently make use of the properties of the ink. So that the ink mixes well, shake the ink
cartridge horizontally with a stroke length of around 5 cm (2 in.) from each end of the ink cartridge.
The deposits may harden and cause problems including printer malfunctions if left alone for an extended
period of time.

8. Perform a printing test (P. 50) again to make sure the dot drop-out has been corrected.
If the problem persists, try performing cleaning again.
If the printer has been used for a long period, the problem may not be fixed even after performing cleaning
two or three times. If this is the case, perform medium or powerful cleaning.
NOTE
UV ink will harden. It may adhere to the print head and solidify. If left alone, ink may clog the print heads and
cause problems including printer malfunctions.
Clean the head manually when printing frequently with the print head at a distance from the print surface.
This is called manual cleaning. To prevent clogging of the print heads, you may have to perform manual
cleaning each time you print in some cases.

STEP 6: Turning the Power Off
Hold down the sub power button for

one second or longer.
The sub power turns off. Turn off the sub
power after printing is complete.
NOTE
• Never switch off the main power. Leaving the main power on enables the automatic maintenance to be
carried out periodically. If the automatic maintenance is not carried out, the printer may malfunction. For
example, the print heads may be damaged.
• Never switch off the main power or unplug the power cord suddenly while operation is in progress. Doing
so may damage the print heads. Be sure to first switch off the sub power. If the main power is accidentally
switched off, immediately turn the main power and sub power back on.
