Roland Color CAMM PC-50 User Manual page 23

Are the blade and blade holder installed
correctly and securely?
Is the blade chipped?
Check if there are any dirty deposits on the
blade.
Make sure you are using an appropriate
cutter force setting.
When cutting a thick material, set DIP switch SW-7 to ON (heavy). (See "5-1 DIP Switch Settings" .)
The material slips away from the pinch rollers during operation
Are the sheet loading levers lowered?
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. Also, after loading the material, it is recommended that you carry out an alignment test by using the
key to advance the material by the amount that will be used for printing or cutting. Make sure that the material travels correctly
through the machine.
If roll material is used, print or cut only after first pulling out the amount of material that is to be used. The PC-50 is not designed to
pull material off rolls.
Make sure that the left and right edges of the material do not touch the inner surfaces of the PC-50 during operation. Such contact
may damage the material, and could also make it impossible to advance the material–thus causing it to slip.
Are the application software settings
correct?
If connected via the serial port, do the
communication parameters for the PC-50
match those of the computer?
PAUSE LED and CHANGE LED blink simultaneously
Has the ink ribbon been used up?
SETUP LED and POWER/ERROR LED blink simultaneously
Is the material loaded correctly?
Does the front of the material stick out to
the front surface of the PC-50?
Is the length of the loaded material too
short?
The Material is not cut properly
Install these so that there is no looseness (see "5-3 Installing/Removing a Blade" ).
If it is, replace it with a new one (see "5-3 Installing/Removing a Blade" ).
If dirty, remove and clean the blade.
Perform a "cutting test," then adjust the cutter force slider as necessary to obtain
the optimum cutter force (see "5-9 Cutting Test to Check Cutter force").
If the sheet loading levers are raised, then make sure the left and right pinch rollers
are within the edged of the material and lower the sheet loading levers. (See "5-5
Loading/Removing the Material" .)
The POWER/ERROR LED is blinking
Check the following items:
• Output device specifications (select a device name that matches the instruc-
tion system. If the wrong device is selected an incorrect instruction may be
output, resulting in an error).
• Communication parameters
Check the software user's manual and set it up correctly.
Set the DIP switches correctly (see "5-1 DIP Switch Settings" .)
If there is no more ink ribbon left for printing, replace the ribbon cartridge with a
new one (see "5-4 Installing a Ribbon Cartridge").
Load the material correctly (see "5-5 Loading/Removing the Material").
