DX6 vs DX7 — Which Does Your Roland Need?
This is the most common question Roland owners ask. The DX6 (part 6701409010) and the DX7 1st coded are different generations and are not interchangeable. The DX6 has 360 dpi native resolution across 8 channels. The DX7 has 1440 dpi native resolution and a more refined dot placement system. VS series, RA, RE, and RF series Roland printers use the DX6. If in doubt contact our team before ordering — we confirm the correct head for your exact printer serial number at no charge.
Roland Part Number Cross Reference
• Roland 6701409010 — primary part number for all models listed above
• Roland 1000006530 — alternative reference number in some Roland service documentation
Recommended Accessories — Replace at the Same Time
When replacing a DX6 on any Roland VS, RA, RE, or RF series machine always replace the head data cable set at the same time. Installing a new head on worn cables is the most common cause of premature DX6 failure:
• Roland RA-640 / RE-640 / VS-640 head data cable set — 4-piece set, parts 1000006702 / 1000006703
• Eco-solvent ink dampers — replace when fitting a new head
• Roland capping station — inspect and replace if worn
