Features of the SJ-745EX/645EX

What Is the SJ-745EX/645EX?

The SJ-745EX/645EX is a large-format printer combining high speed with high print quality. It can be loaded with many different types of media. It also achieves better weatherability through the use of ECO-SOL INK.

Built-in Print Server

This machine has a built-in print server (Roland-PrintServer) as a network interface. When you use the print server, you can send printing data to the machine from anywhere on the network.

Built-in Print Heater

This machine has a built-in print heater to improve ink adhesion and speed up drying. This enhances productivity by enabling support for more types of media.

Includes a Software Raster Image Processor (RIP)

Software RIP, which is included with the machine, lets you use your computer to perform raster image processing for printing data such as PostScript files exported from a program and output the data to the machine.

To Ensure Safe Use

About and Notices

Used for instructions intended to alert the user to the risk of death or severe injury should the unit be used improperly.

Used for instructions intended to alert the user to the risk of injury or media damage should the unit be used improperly.

* Media damage refers to damage or other adverse effects caused with respect to the home and all its furnishings, as well to domestic animals or pets.

About the Symbols

The symbol alerts the user to important instructions or warnings. The specific meaning of the symbol is determined by the design contained within the triangle. The symbol at left means "danger of electrocution."

The symbol alerts the user to items that must never be carried out (are forbidden). The specific thing that must not be done is indicated by the design contained within the circle. The symbol at left means the unit must never be disassembled.

The symbol alerts the user to things that must be carried out. The specific thing that must be done is indicated by the design contained within the circle. The symbol at left means the power-cord plug must be unplugged from the outlet.

Do not disassemble, repair, or modify.

Doing so may lead to fire or abnormal operation resulting in injury.

Do not use while in an abnormal state (i.e., emitting smoke, burning odor, unusual noise, or the like).

Doing so may result in fire or electrical shock. Immediately switch off first the sub power, then the main power, unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet, and contact your authorized Roland DG Corp. dealer or service center.

Do not operate in a location exposed to open flame, sparking, or static electricity, or in a location exposed to high temperatures, such as in the immediate vicinity of a heater. Also, do not place undried media in such locations.

Doing so may result in fire due to combustion of ink or cleaning liquid.

Do not store ink cartridges, cleaning liquid, or discharged ink in locations such as the following.

•Near open flame

•Locations exposed to high temperatures, such as in the immediate vicinity of a heater

•Near bleach, chemicals,

explosives, or the like

Doing so may cause fire.

Do not place any potentially flammable object on the platen while the print heater is in operation.

Doing so may cause fire.

Do not spill combustible liquid over the platen.

Doing so may cause fire.

To Ensure Safe Use

Do not use with any electrical power supply that does not meet the ratings displayed on the unit.

Use with any other power supply may lead to fire or electrocution.

Ground the unit with the ground wire.

Failure to do so may result in risk of electrical shock in the even of a mechanical problem.

Use only with the power cord included with this product.

Use with other than the included power cord may lead to fire or electrocution.

Do not connect the power cord with other electrical loads on a single electrical outlet.

Doing so may generate heat and cause fire.

Do not use with a damaged power cord or plug, or with a loose electrical outlet.

Use with any other power supply may lead to fire or electrocution.

Ensure adequate ventilation for the work area.

Failure to do so may result in odor, physical distress, or fire.

Do not allow ink or cleaning liquid to come into contact with eyes or skin. Do not drink or deliberately smell ink or cleaning liquid.

Doing so may be hazardous to your health.

If ink or cleaning liquid comes in contact with the eyes, immediately flush with running water for at least 15 minutes. If eye irritation continues, seek treatment by a physician.

If ink or cleaning liquid is accidentally swallowed, do not induce vomiting, and immediately seek treatment by a physician.

Do not damage or modify the electrical power cord, subject it to excessive bending, twisting, pulling, binding, or pinching, or place any object or weight on it.

Doing so may damage the electrical power cord, leading to fire, electrical shock, or electrocution.

Do not attempt to unplug the powercord plug with wet hands.

Doing so may result in electrical shock or electrocution.

When unplugging the electrical power cord from the power outlet, grasp the plug, not the cord.

Unplugging by pulling the cord may damage it, leading to fire, electrical shock, or electrocution.

Do not allow liquids, metal objects or flammables inside the machine.

Such medias can cause fire.

If ink or cleaning liquid comes in contact with the skin, immediately wash well with soap and water. If irritation or inflammation occur, seek treatment by a physician.

If the odor of the ink or cleaning liquid causes physical distress, move to a well-ventilated location and rest quietly. If dizziness or nausea persists, seek treatment by a physician.

When storing discharged ink temporarily, place in the included drain bottle or a durable sealed container such as a metal can and polyethylene tank, and cap tightly.

Leakage of discharged ink or its vapor may result in odor, physical distress, or fire.

Store ink cartridges out of the reach of children.

To Ensure Safe Use

Install in a level and stable location.

Failure to do so may result in the unit tipping over, leading to injury.

Unpacking, and installation must be carried out by four or more persons.

Otherwise the machine or the stand may fall, resulting in injury.

Use care to avoid pinching the fingers when placing the unit on the stand.

Doing so may result in injury.

Use the joining screws to secure the unit to the stand.

fingers.

Doing so may result in injury.

Be sure to install the media guide when loading roll media.

Otherwise the roll may fall and cause injury.

Load roll media at the proper position.

Otherwise the roll may fall, resulting in injury.

Be sure to use the media with a width of 500 mm (19-11/16 in.) or more.

Failure to do so may cause overheating of the print heater, leading to fire.

When the reinforcement pipe is inserted into the paper tube, do not angle the roll media.

The reinforcement pipe may protrude from the roll media and cause injury.

Do not press the [SEL] key.

Doing so may cause malfunction of the print heater, leading to fire.

Release the caster locks for the stand before attempting to move.

Otherwise the unit may tip over and cause injury.

Do not touch the control panel while head cleaning or other cleaning is in progress.

The print-head carriage may move and cause injury.

1-4 Connecting the Cables

Use only with a power supply of the same rating as indicated on the unit.

Use with any other power supply may lead to fire or electrocution.

Ground the unit with the ground wire.

Failure to do so may result in risk of electrical shock in the even of a mechanical problem.

Use only with the power cord included with this product.

Use with other than the included power cord may lead to fire or electrocution.

Do not connect the power cord with other electrical loads on a single electrical outlet.

Doing so may generate heat and cause fire.

Connecting the Power Cord

Be sure to use an electrical outlet for the power supply. Also, do not connect multiple electrical loads on a single electrical outlet. Low or unstable voltage may result in inadequate print heater performance. If the temperature of the print heater fails to rise adequately even when used correctly, check the voltage of the power supply.

Securely connect the power cord, computer I/O cable and so on so that they will not be unplugged and cause failure during operation. Doing so may lead to faulty operation or breakdown.

Before connecting the cable, make sure the computer’s power and the main power switch of the unit are switched off.

Arrange the power cord and interface connection cable to prevent tripping when moving around the unit.
