Features of the SC-545EX
What Is the SC-545EX?
The SC-545EX is a large-format printer equipped with a cutting feature and combining high speed with high print
quality. Not only can it be used either solely for printing or solely for cutting, but it can also perform printing and cutting
simultaneously. Also, using the crop-mark feature lets you remove media after printing, then load it again and perform
cutting, positioning it accurately. 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
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.
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 forbid-
den). 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.
About the Symbols
Do not disassemble, repair, or modify.
Doing so may lead to fire or abnormal op-
eration resulting in injury.
Do not use while in an abnormal state
(i.e., emitting smoke, burning odor,
unusual noise, or the like).
Doingso may resultin 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 ser-
vice center.
About and Notices
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 flam-
mable 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.

6
To Ensure Safe Use
Ground the unit with the ground wire.
Failure to do so may result in risk of electri-
cal shock in the even of a mechanical prob-
lem.
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.
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 elec-
trical outlet.
Doing so may generate heat and cause fire.
Do not use with a damaged power
cord or plug, or with a loose electri-
cal outlet.
Use with any other power supply may lead
to fire or electrocution.
Do not damage or modify the electri-
cal power cord, subject it to exces-
sive bending, twisting, pulling, bind-
ing, or pinching, or place any object
or weight on it.
Doing so may damage the electrical power
cord, leading to fire, electrical shock, or elec-
trocution.
Do not attempt to unplug the power-
cord 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 electro-
cution.
Do not allow liquids, metal objects or
flammables inside the machine.
Such medias can cause fire.
Store ink cartridges out of the reach
of children.
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.
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 comes in
contact with the skin, immediately
wash well with soap and water. If
irritation or inflammation occur,
seek treatment by a physician.
If ink or cleaning liquid is
accidentally swallowed, do not
induce vomiting, and immediately
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.
