							7-8 If a Error Message Appears
139Chapter 7 What to Do If
[PINCHROLL ERROR  LOWER PINCHROLL]
 was pressed without first lowering the pinch
rollers.
Press any key to clear the error. Pull back the loading lever,
then press 
.
The pinch rollers were raised while  was illu-
minated.
The error is cleared automatically after a short wait. Never
move the loading lever while printing is in progress.
[SERVICE CALL xxxx]
An unrecoverable error occurred, or part replace-
ment that must be performed by a service techni-
cian is required.
Note the number displayed, then switch off the sub power.
After you switch off the power, inform your authorized
Roland DG Corp. dealer of the number that appeared on
the display.
[SHEET TOO SMALL  CONTINUE?]
The size of the data is larger than the printing or
cutting area of the loaded media.
To continue performing output without correcting this, press
. At this time, the portion extending beyond the
printing or cutting area is not output. To stop output, stop
sending data from the computer, hold down 
 for
one second or longer. Make the printing or cutting area
wider such as by replacing the media with a larger piece of
media or by changing the positions of the pinch rollers,
then send the data again.
[SHEET SET ERROR SET AGAIN]
 was pressed even though no media is loaded.
Press any key to clear the error. Load media and pull back
the loading lever, then press 
.
[EDGE DETECTION] is set to ENABLE, but trans-
parent media was loaded.
Raise the loading lever, set the [EDGE DETECTION] menu
item to [DISABLE], then reload the media.

 P.86 Using Transparent Media
The loaded media is too small.
Press any key to clear the error. Replace with media of us-
able size.
[TEMPERATURE IS TOO HIGH **°C]
The temperature of the location where the machine
is installed has risen above the ambient tempera-
ture at which the machine can operate.
Operation cannot be continued. Switch off the sub power.
The displayed temperature is room temperature of installa-
tion location now. Bring the installed location to a tem-
perature at which operation is possible ( 15 to 32°C) and
allow the machine to come to room temperature, then turn
on the power.
[TEMPERATURE IS TOO LOW **°C]
The temperature of the location where the machine
is installed has fallen below the ambient tempera-
ture at which the machine can operate.
Operation cannot be continued. Switch off the sub power.
The displayed temperature is room temperature of installa-
tion location now. Bring the installed location to a tem-
perature at which operation is possible (15 to 32°C) and
allow the machine to come to room temperature, then turn
on the power.
[AVOIDING DRY-UP TURN OFF POWER]
The print heads were forced to standby position to
prevent them from drying out.
Operation cannot be continued. Switch the sub power off,
then back on. Opening the front cover while printing is in
progress causes an emergency stop. Never allow the print
heads to stand in this state.
[MOTOR ERROR TURN POWER OFF]
A motor error occurred.
Operation cannot be continued. Switch off the sub power.
Next, eliminate the cause of the error, then immediately
switch on the sub power. If the machine is allowed to stand
with the error uncorrected, the print heads may dry out and
become damaged.
This error may be caused by such factors as a mistake in
loading the media, a media jam, or an operation that pulls
the media with excessive force.
The media has jammed.
Carefully remove the jammed media. The print heads may
also be damaged. Perform head cleaning, then perform a
printing test and check the results.
The media was pulled with excessive force.
Excessive tension was applied to the media, and additional
action is necessary to recover from this state. First, move
the loading lever to the rear and adjust the media to create
a small amount of slack, then switch on the sub power.
[WRONG CARTRIDGE]
A cartridge that cannot be used was installed.
Remove the cartridge to clear the error. Use a cartridge of
the specified type.

➢ Media whose end is attached to the paper pipe (core)
➢ Media which is severely warped or which has a strong tendency to reroll
➢ Media that cannot withstand the heat of the heating devices
➢ Media whose paper pipe (core) is bent or crushed
This machine cannot necessarily print every kind of media. When selecting media, be sure to carry out testing in
advance to make sure that satisfactory printing quality is obtained.

8-2 Printing/Cutting Area
Maximum Area
The printing or cutting area along the horizontal plane (the direction in which the carriage moves) is determined by the
position of the pinch rollers.
Maximum Area When Using Crop Marks
When crop marks are used, the printing or cutting area is reduced from the maximum area by an amount equal to the
crop marks.

8-3 About the Blade
The cutting conditions and the service life of the blade change according to the media and the operating environment,
even when using identical blades. The service life also differs according to the type of blade. A rough guide is shown
below.
When uncut areas remain even when the blade force is increased to a value that is higher by 50 to 60 gf than the
values shown in this chart, then replace the blade.
*The values for Life of a blade are estimates for when cutting media of identical type.
