General Printing Tips

See “Important Operating Notes” on page 1-3for impor-

 

tant information on operating the printer.

 

Before printing on vinyl media that has been loaded on an

 

idle printer overnight or longer, advance the portion of the

 

media that has been resting on the preheater (prior to the

 

platen) past the print zone. In this situation, the vinyl tends

 

to retain the shape of the preheater, making it more likely

 

that the printheads or carriage will strike the media.

 

To pause printing, press the Pause button on the control

 

panel. While printing is paused, you can change the Heat-

 

ers, Vacuum, and Dry Delay settings. Changed settings will

 

remain in effect until media is loaded, when the settings

 

saved in the Media Wizard will be restored. While printing is

 

paused you can also “pause-swap” ink (see “Pause-Swap-

 

ping Ink” on page 3-12for instructions).
