•UV CURE INK IS PERISHABLE. Unlike other

inks used in wide format printing, UV cure ink has a limited shelf life. Plan to rotate your ink stock and use it promptly by the date printed on the ink box.

•DO NOT POWER DOWN THE PRINTER. Constant vacuum at the printheads is required to prevent ink from flowing from the printheads when not printing.

Caution When the UV lamps are switched off, they undergo a controlled cool-down cycle. Sudden removal of power from hot lamps, such as disconnecting the power cord or from a power outage, can result in overheating and permanent damage. The lamps should be switched off only via the printer software.

•The media supply may be wound either print-side out or print-side in.

•The default head height set to 0.085 inches (2.2 mm) above the media. (The space below the carriage will measure to 0.070 inches due to the printhead protection frame around the outside of the carriage.)

•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 2-9for 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 4-4for 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 reprint over any output that has not completely cured. The rubber pinch rollers could be damaged by wet ink. If ink does get onto the pinch rollers, clean them with a
