2 Introduction
Features of This Machine
• This is a take-up unit for Roland DG Corporation large format printers.
• It enables automatic take-up of the media during printing. This allows for lengthy printing and unat-
tended operation at night to be accomplished efficiently.
• The maximum weight for usable media is 40 kg (88.18 lb.). Stable take-up is possible even for heavy
media (if the printer's usable media weight is less than 40 kg (88.18 lb.), media weighing more than
this cannot be used).
• The amount of tension when taking up can be selected depending on the properties of the media. With
more resilient media such as PVC, you can take up with a little slack. This will reduce the feed differ-
ence between the left and right sides of the media. With less resilient media such as tarpaulin, you
can take up with slightly stronger tension.
Main Compatible Models
• TrueVIS series (VF2-640, VG2-640/540, SG2-640/540/300, VG-640/540, SG-540/300, MG-640/300, etc.)
• VersaUV series (LEC2-300 and LEC2-640/330)
• DGXPRESS series (UG-641)
About This Machine
Introduction 3
Installing this machine will cause the printer menu list, etc. to change as follows.
It is possible to select the take-up method ("TU", "TU2", or "TU3") on the "SETUP SHEET" screen.
SETUP SHEET
TU2
Select the take-up method to match the output method.
Take-up method Output method Description
"TU" Printing only
* However, the case in which the media is
pulled back after printing in order to print
on the media again is excluded.
Take-up is performed at the same time as output. The
work can be completed in less time than is required with
the "TU2" setting. However, this setting causes an error to
occur during output performed with cutting operations,
so this setting cannot be used in this situation.
* When pulling back the media after printing in order to
print on the media again, select the "TU2" setting.
"TU2"*1 Cutting only, printing and cutting, crop-
ping and cutting
* However, the case in which the media is
pulled back after printing in order to print
on the media again is included.
No take-up is performed until the output of the piece of
data is finished. When the output is finished, the length
of media that was output is pulled back and is then taken
up. The work time is longer than that for the "TU" set-
ting, but this setting can be used to perform take-up
even for output performed with cutting operations.
"TU3"*2 Printing only Use this method when using media (such as soft packag-
ing) that is not transported by pulling it back. The cutting
operation and media cut-off are not possible.
*1 This is not displayed if you are using the VF2-640.
*2 This is only displayed if you are using the LEC2-330, MG-300, or TB-30.

Assembly and Installation 7
• Perform work after installing the printer to be used in the desired location.
• Perform work in a level, stable, and flat location.
• Performing work near the printer to which this machine will be attached is recommended.
Never install this machine outside or in any location where exposure to water or high humidity
may occur.
Current leakage may cause electrical shock or fire.
WARNING
Never install the machine close to any flammable object or in a gas-filled location.
Combustion or explosion could occur.
WARNING
Install the machine in a clean, brightly lit location.
Working in a location that is dark or cluttered may lead to an accident, such as becoming caught in the machine as the
result of an inadvertent stumble.
WARNING
Position the machine so that the power plug is within immediate reach at all times.
This is to enable quick disconnection of the power plug in the event of an emergency. Install the machine next to an
electrical outlet. Also, provide enough empty space to allow immediate access to the electrical outlet.
WARNING
Read This before Starting Work
8 Assembly and Installation
Unloading and emplacement are operations that must be performed by 2 persons or more.
Tasks that require undue effort when performed by a small number of persons may result in physical injury. Also, if
dropped, such items may cause injury.
CAUTION
The VG-640 is used for the figures depicting common operations.
MEMO
Step 1: Assembling the Take-up Unit
Procedure
1. Attach the arm (B) to the rail slider (A) and fix it with the arm retaining screw (C).
Orient the rail slider so its riveted side (D) is on the side opposite the arm retaining screw.
2. Place the right slider stay (A) and the left slider stay (B) apart from each other with enough space be-
tween them to fit the machine. (*1)
