Features of the FJ-540

What Is the FJ-540?

The FJ-540 is a large-format printer combining high speed with high print quality. It supports a wide variety of media
types, as well as pigment and dye-based inks.

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.

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.
