Roland Paper Pinch Plate Clamp for SP-540 / SP-300 / SP-540i / SP-540V / SP-300i

High-precision media clamp for the left side of the carriage area on Roland SP-series printers. It helps hold the media edge firmly during printing to prevent skewing, head strikes, or banding. Built from stainless plate with a smooth, wear-resistant white foot to protect media surfaces.

Key Features

• Stable holding force: Keeps media flat at the left guide to reduce wrinkles and misfeeds.
• Durable construction: Stainless plate body with low-friction pad for long life.
• Clean edges: Rounded contact area prevents scratching coated or glossy stocks.
• Direct replacement: Drops in where the reference clamp sits; no modification required.

Compatibility

• Roland SP-540 / SP-540i / SP-540V
• Roland SP-300 / SP-300i / SP-300V
• Roland VP-300 / VP-540 (left clamp position is the same layout)
• Also used on select LEC/LEJ/LEF models that share the SP-style left clamp bracket

Installation Notes

1. Power off the printer and move the carriage to the service position.
