Printing Tips

 

• Rigid cut-sheet media — use only flat, unwarped, undam-

 

 

aged sheets, with parallel opposite edges and 90° corners.

 

 

 

Load the media from the back of the printer; loading from the

 

 

front will cause interference with the UV blocking brushes.

 

 

• Curing continues for 24-48 hours — the UV ink will con-

 

 

tinue to cure for a day or two after printing. Maximum dura-

 

 

bility and adhesion is achieved after the ink is fully cured.

 

 

• Pausing printing — to pause printing, press the  (Pause)

 

 

key. While printing is paused, you can:

 

 

• Change media settings (vacuum, print delay).

 

 

• Pause-swap inks (see “Pause Swapping Ink,” below).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Caution

Synthetic media commonly used for inkjet printing

 

 

 

can build up a static charge, especially in environ-

ments with low relative humidity. This charge can pose an electrostatic discharge (ESD) hazard to persons, the printer, and other equipment. It can be safely discharged by draping a grounded chain or tinsel over the top of the stack of media.

Pause-Swapping Ink You can replace one or more ink boxes during a print by pausing the printer:

1.On the printer control panel, press the  (Pause) key.

2.Remove the old profiler.

This signals to the printer that the ink box is being replaced.

3.Disconnect and remove the old ink box.

4.Install and connect the new ink box.

5.Install the profiler that was included with the new ink box.

6.Repeat steps 2 through 5 for any other ink boxes you want to replace.

7.On the printer control panel, press the  (Resume) key.
