DX6 vs DX7 — Which Does Your VS-640i Need?
This is the most common question VS-640i 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. The Roland VS-640i, along with the rest of the VS, RA, RE, and RF series, uses 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

Recommended Accessories — Replace at the Same Time
When replacing a DX6 on a VS-640i or any other VS/RA/RE/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 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
