For optimum performance, it is necessary to set cutting conditions that match the material, giving consideration to the material's thick­ness and type of material. The CJ-70/60 has an internal "cutting test" to check the cutting conditions. This "cutting test" allows you to
determine settings for the cutting speed, blade force and the amount of offset.
Experiment with different settings for different types of material and adjust the configuration accordingly.

Install a blade and load a material, then close the
front cover.

Confirm the cutting speed and the blade force.
Peel off the round section (marked by ).
Confirm that you can peel off the square section
(marked by ), but do not remove it. Also
remove the square section (marked by ).
If the blade leaves a slight trail on the carrier
paper, you have achieved optimum cutting speed
and blade force.

Then, peel this off

Use the , , and
keys to move the tool carriage to the place where

the cutting test is to be performed.

The remaining cross-shaped area is used to check
whether the offset value is set correctly.
When the offset value has been correctly set, the
corners of the figure should appear cleanly cut as
shown in A of the figure below. If the offset value
is too small, the corners will appear slightly
rounded as illustrated by B; an offset value which
is too large will result in a cut figure similar to C.

If the material was not cut correctly in steps (1) through (5) of the cutting test, change the cutting conditions (see "21 Display Menus
Flowchart").
Repeat the cutting test and adjustment until the optimal cutting speed, blade force, and blade compensation are found.

Incorrect cutting conditions may cause symptoms such as those described below. Take care to ensure that the cutting conditions are
correct.

For Materials with a Strong Adhesive Layer

If you are using a material with a strong adhesive layer, the adhesive layer may adhere to itself immediately when cut. This means that
even though the material has actually been cut, it may appear as if it has not been cut, and blade force may mistakenly be set too high. If
a cutting test shows that the material peels easily and the blade traces on the carrier paper are optimal, then the material is being cut.
Take care not to set the blade force excessively high.

Opening the front cover causes an emergency stop to occur, and printing may not be carried out correctly if
operation is resumed.
To pause printing or cutting for any other reason than an emergency stop, press the

key.

Note pressing the

key to pause operation may result in differing image quality before and after the

pause. It is a good idea to avoid pausing operation while printing is in progress whenever possible.

Printing or cutting is started when data is sent.

Allowing the printing carriage to stand for a long period after an emergency stop may result in clogging of the
head and, in some cases, damage to the printing head.

Align the Printing and Cutting Positions

Materials expand and contract in response to absorbed ink
and atmospheric humidity. The degree of size change
depends on the material, backing material, and ambient
temperature and humidity. In general, materials which absorb
moisture easily expand and contract more easily.
There is very little effect when only cutting or printing is

17 Maintenance

Replacing the Ink Cartridges

Store ink cartridges out of the reach
of children.

Do not insert your fingers in the ink
cartridge ports.

Doing so may
result in injury.

If ink contacts the eyes, flush
immediately with water.

Do not remove any ink cartridges except when shipping the CJ-70/60.

Use only the ink specified for the machine. Dye inks cannot be used on a CJ-70/60 unit for which pigment inks
are specified, and pigment inks cannot be used on a CJ-70/60 unit for which dye inks are specified.
If ink runs out, replace immediately with an ink cartridge designed especially for the CJ-70/60. Do not attempt
to refill and reuse an empty ink cartridge.
If an ink cartridge is removed, replace it immediately with a new one.

Do not attempt to disassemble an ink cartridge.

Unused ink cartridges should be stored unopened at a temperature of -20°C (-4°F) to 40°C (104°F). Do not
store in a location subject to temperatures beyond this range.

If any ink gets on your hands or clothing, wash it off as soon as possible. Ink stains may become difficult to remove
if allowed to stand.

When removing an ink cartridge, do not rush. Detach the cartridge gently. Sudden movement when detaching
may cause ink to be spilled.

This section indicates the proper cutting conditions for various types of materials, as well as blade life spans. Cutting conditions and
blade life vary according to the hardness of the material and the usage environment. Making the settings for the conditions described
below does not automatically guarantee attractive cutting results in all situations. Before performing actual cutting, be sure to carry out a
cutting test and make any necessary adjustments (see "11 Cutting Test"). If the material is not cut through completely even when the
tool force is increased by 50 to 60 gf more than the tool force values shown below, it means that the useful life of the blade has ended.
Replace with a new blade.

* The values for life span are intended to serve as a general guide when cutting materials of identical type.

Conditions for Usable Materials

A) Cuttable material thickness : 0.08 to 0.22 mm (0.00315" to 0.00866") (depending on material composition)
B) Maximum material thickness, including base paper (peeled-off paper)

: 0.4 mm (0.0157")

C) Maximum diameter for roll material : 180 mm (7-1/16") (surface to be printed or cut must face outward)
D) Core inner diameter for roll material: 50.8 or 76.2 mm (2" or 3")
E) Maximum weight for roll material : [CJ-70] 20 kg (44.1 lb.) [CJ-60] 17 kg (37.5 lb.)

20 About the Printing/Cutting Area

The printing/cutting area along the horizontal plane (the direction in which the carriage moves) is determined by the position of the pinch
rollers. The workable area spans the length between the two rollers, minus a margin of about 1 mm (about 0.04") on both sides.
If "PIECE" has been selected and material length (the distance in the X direction as shown in the figure) is 1,885 mm (74-3/16") (1,257
mm (49-7/16") x 1.5) on the CJ-70 or 1,537 mm (60-1/2") (1,025 mm (40-5/16") x 1.5) on the CJ-60, the area is the same as when
"EDGE" has been chosen.
If "ROLL" or "EDGE" has been selected, the material length (the distance in the X direction as shown in the figure) is set to 24,998 mm
(984-1/8").

* The arrows in the figure indicating the X and Y directions indicate

INK CONTROL

INK EMPTY

When replacement of the ink cartridge becomes necessary while printing is LATER, PROMPT LATER
in progress, this setting determines whether printing continues or pauses.
This setting is used when the ink cartridge cannot be changed immediately
during printing, such as during unattended operation at night.
"LATER" causes printing to continue without pause even if ink refilling be­comes necessary. Printing continues with the small amount of ink remaining,
so the printed image may become faint as the ink runs out. In general, it
should possible to perform about 1 m2 (10 ft2) of printing once this message
appears, although the actual varies widely according to the amount of ink
needed for the particular image. Printing is continued only for the data
currently being printed. Operation stops after one image is output.
"PROMPT" causes operation to pause immediately when the ink cartridge
needs to be changed. Printing is resumed by replacing the cartridge and
pressing the PAUSE key. Please note, however, that the colors of an image
in progress may no longer be perfectly matched if the unit is allowed to
remain paused for two or three hours before resuming printing.

SETUP LED is lit)?

If the SETUP LED is not illuminated, make sure the material is loaded correctly

and press the

key to illuminate the SETUP LED.

Is the PAUSE LED illuminated?

If the

key has been pressed and the PAUSE LED is lighted, the unit has

been paused.

To resume printing or cutting, press the key again. The PAUSE LED is

extinguished, and printing or cutting resumes.
To terminate printing or cutting, first stop the transmission of printing or cutting

instructions from the computer to the CJ-70/60. Then press the key. This

deletes the printing or cutting instructions that have already been sent from the
computer to the CJ-70/60, and printing or cutting is stopped.

If the CJ-70/60 doesn't run...

Are the computer and the CJ-70/60
linked with the right cable?

The type of cable you need is determined by your computer and the software you
are using. Even if the computer is the same, running different software may require
a different cable. Use the cable specified in your software.

Is the cable making a secure connec­tion?

Connect securely. (See “3 Setting Up and Connection” .)

Is the OS set up correctly? Check the following items:

• Output port selection • Output device selection

• Output port open • Communication parameters

• Other settings

Check the OS user’s manual and set it up correctly.

Are the application software settings
correct?

Check the following items:

• Output device specifications (select a device name that matches the instruc­tion system. If the wrong device is selected an incorrect instruction may be

If drop-out occurs with printed images.

Clean, attractive printing is impossible

Is the surface of the platen dirty or
scratched?

Clean the platen (see “Cleaning the platen”).

Is the material dirty? Remove superficial soiling, then load the material.

Clean, attractive printing is not possible if the material is damaged or warped.
Use care to keep materials from being damaged while in storage.

Is the material damaged?

The Material is not cut properly

Are the blade and blade holder installed
correctly and securely?

Install these so that there is no looseness (see “7 Installing the Cutter”).

Is the blade chipped? If it is, replace it with a new one (see “7 Installing the Cutter”).

Check if there are any dirty deposits on the
blade.

If dirty, remove and clean the blade.

Make sure you are using an appropriate
cutter force setting.

Perform a “cutting test,” then adjust the cutter force slider as necessary to obtain
the optimum cutter force (see “11 Cutting Test”).

The material slips away from the pinch rollers during operation

Are the sheet loading levers on both the
left and right sides raised?

If a sheet loading lever has not been raised, then the material has not been secured
in place. Make sure that the pinch rollers on the left and right sides are within the
boundaries of the material, and raise the sheet loading levers.

Make sure the material is parallel with the grit roller.
If the front edge of the material rests at an angle, cut off the odd-shaped part to make it straight. Then align it so that it is parallel with
the grit roller.

If the material is to be advanced over a long distance, moving the movable pinch roller inward slightly can help prevent the material
from becoming dislodged.

No output even when data is sent using the special CAMM JET driver

If set to "ENABLE," change the setting to "DISABLE."

Press the key to clean the ink heads (see "Cleaning the Ink Heads").
If this cleaning does not correct the drop-out problem, press the

key, then

use the

key to display "HEAD CLEANING" and select "POWERFUL." If
performing cleaning several times at the "POWERFUL" menu does not correct the
drop-out problem, contact your authorized Roland dealer or service center to
purchase a replacement head.
Also, the ink heads may be damaged if touched with the hands or allowed to
contact anything other than ink.
If an ink head appears to be damaged, contact your authorized Roland dealer or
service center to purchase a replacement head.

Is the "AUTO ROTATE" setting set to
"ENABLE?"

If operation is stopped or paused while printing is in progress, the quality of the
image before and after the interruption may differ. It is a good idea to avoid
pausing operation while printing is in progress whenever possible.

During printing, was the front cover opened
