The pinch rollers have to go in a certain spot, on our VP540 there is blue stickers all along the bar that the pinch rollers slide on that marks the location of each roller, the first one closest to the control panel (right side of machine) has 3 spaced right together these are the most critical you only need one there and then how ever many you need to cover the width of your material, all others should be removed.

Hope this helps.

Huh? the Roland GX300 is a vinyl cutter/plotter it doesn't cut t-shirts.

I want to print out 8/12x11 & contour cut. Will the gx 300 accept sheets that small

According to this site....it will accept material from 2" to 36" so yes it should work fine.

Did you ever get it fixed. If so what was it.

I just bought a SP 540v. And I am getting that same error. But it keeps saying left, then right.

I pray this is a simple & cheap fix.

The problem is the data cable, most likely, it needs to be replaced. Is it saying left roller bad position then right roller and eventually, if it gets past that, it shows the media size of 0.0 after it initializes? Any of those is a condition of a bad data cable.

I just received a new linear encoder strip. Its about a inch to long.

Whats the best way to cut and reposition the hole? And what side should I cut?

Thank you. I need this fixed quick. Gotta make my money back ASAP.
