ENVIRONMENTAL MATCH calibrates your print and cut. During the cutting process, the printer uses the encoder in it's scan motor. During the printing process, the printer uses the linear scale and encoder board in the print carriage. The linear scale expands and contracts with temperature differential just like your media. If this calibration is not performed you will be off in the scan direction. Function is required on SP's, is automatic on VP's if feature is enabled. Enable it if not already!
BLADE OFFSET for Roland 45deg blade is .25mm and 60deg is .5mm. (you indicated 0) Check your test cut quality. Excessive force will also cause cutting issues. Change to 60deg blade - you should be able to back cutting force back to 60 or 70 grams depending on media and age of blade. Excessive pressure will allow the cutting tool holder to shift in the feed direction.
CENTER ON MEDIA / GET MEDIA WIDTH can't be used together with crop-cut. Roland is aware!
CROP-CUT adjustment needs to be performed. User mode with VP, service mode with SP's Print-cut does not correct this.
CARRIAGE WIRE TENSION may also need adjustment is SP's or backlash in scan motor gears. VP's use belt drive.
A good tech should be able to perform all checks and adjustment in an hour.
