Roland CX-24/12 8-6 When the Printing and Cutting Locations Are Misaligned

8 Cutting Printed Material

Are the layout locations for the marks correct?

Refer to "8-2 Shape and Layout of Crop Marks" to lay out the crop marks correctly.

Even when the laid-out locations in the program are correct, output at the correct locations is not

possible if [ROTATE] is set to [ON] for the CAMM-1 driver and at the CX-24/12's menu.

Enlarging or reducing the size during printing makes the locations where crop marks are output

misaligned.

MARK 2

Is the material loaded at an angle?

Are the printing results crooked?

Crop marks cannot be detected when the angle of a line connecting the

centerpoints of mark 1 and mark 2 is slanted by 5 degrees or more or

is misaligned by 15 mm or more in the material-feed direction.

Check the printing results and load the material correctly, referring to

"8-3 Loading the Material."

Do the distances between crop marks specified by the program

match the distances specified on the CX-24/12?

Make sure the distances between crop marks set in the program and on

the CX-24/12 are identical.

MARK 3 NOT FOUND Are the crop marks laid out at the correct locations?

If the angle formed by the two lines connecting the centerpoints of the

three crop marks is not 90 degree, the crop marks cannot be read.

Crop marks cannot be read if the distance between crop marks in the

material-feed direction is 500 mm or more.

Refer to "8-2 Shape and Layout of Crop Marks" to lay out the crop

marks correctly.

MARK 3

8-6 When the Printing and Cutting Locations AreMisaligned

When the locations of printing and cutting are misaligned even though detection of crop marks by the CX-24/12 ended correctly, one of

the following may be the cause.

Was an origin point specified in the program when outputting the data to the CX-24/12?

The origin points specified with the program are different during printing and during cutting.

Refer to "8-4 Performing Operations Using Crop Marks - Performing Cutting with the CX-24/12" and align the locations of the origin

points specified with the CX-24/12 before you send the cutting data.

Was the size aspect changed between printing and cutting?

Enlarging or reducing the size when printing or when cutting makes it impossible for the crop marks to be read.

Perform output at a size identical to the size of the design.

Is the cutting carriage exposed to direct sunlight or intense indoor lighting?

If the sensors on the cutting carriage are exposed to direct sunlight or indoor lighting, crop marks may

fail to be detected.

Install the machine where it is not exposed to direct sunlight or indoor lighting.
