To cap the printheads, use only SolaChrome Printhead Cap- ping Film. Damage to printheads resulting from the use of poorly performing plastic films is not covered by the printer warranty.

The maximum diameter allowed on the takeup spool is 7.5 inches (190.5 mm) on a 3-inch core. When the takeup spool has a diameter of 6.5-7.5 inches (165.0-190.5 mm), the con- trol panel displays a warning about possible print quality issues.

The media supply may be wound either printed-side-out or printed-side-in, but the takeup, if used, must be loaded printed-side-in.

The default head height set to 0.100 inches, which allows wide variety of media thicknesses to be utilized without need to adjust head height. If you do adjust the head height, you should also adjust the camera height and verify the service station height. See “Set the Printhead and Camera Height” on page 5-11 for instructions.

The Media Wizard stores a set of operational parameters for predefined and user-defined media types. When you load a new media type, select an existing Media Wizard set, or cre- ate a custom set. Media Wizard parameter sets can be selected at any time from the control panel. (See “Media Wizard” on page 3-32 for details.)

Enable AutoTune during long periods of unattended print- ing. AutoTune runs AutoJet at user-defined intervals to ensure that all jets are either working or substituted with working jets. (See “AutoTune” on page 4-4 for instructions.)

Wear cotton gloves when loading media to prevent finger- prints that could show after printing.

DO NOT rest or store a media roll on end, or you could cause edge creases that could strike the printheads during printing.

DO NOT clean the printhead surfaces with a dry cloth or paper towel.

DO NOT reprint over any output that has not completely dried. The rubber pinch rollers could be damaged by wet ink. If ink does get onto the pinch rollers, clean them with SolaChrome HR Cleaning Solvent and dry them thoroughly before printing.
