Prepare Media for Printing

Place And Register Media On The Printer Vacuum Table

Place the media on the table in the orientation that matches the job to printed and register the
media to the print origin. In the next section there are more details on how to perform the
following actions.

Select Active Vacuum Zones

Select the required vacuum zones to  hold the media to the  table using the table vacuum. The
three vacuum zone control handles control which of the  three zones on the  printer table will  have
vacuum applied when the table vacuum pump is  turned on.  The  vacuum zones are  opened or
closed using a  quarter turn handle. Refer to  the next section for  details on the  dimensions and
placement of the  vacuum zones.

Turn On Table Vacuum

Click on  the  Vacuum button  in the  top  right corner of the  printer software display to  activate the
table vacuum. Also a vacuum foot pedal switch is  provided to  help secure the media on the  table
vacuum. Step on the  foot  pedal to  toggle the table vacuum on or off.

Mask Active Vacuum Zones Not Covered With Media

To  hold the media to the  table it is important to  completely cover active vacuum zones with  either
the media to be printed on,  or  a  masking material. The  masking material should not  be  thicker
than the  media to be printed on. If a  full  bleed image is to be  printed, the masking material should
be the  same thickness as the media to be printed on to prevent overspray from accumulating on
the print head  nozzle plates.

NOTE

When the vacuum is switched off, wait a few seconds before you switch it on again.

Clean Media, If Required

If the media is dusty or dirty, clean it with an appropriate cleaner. If using a liquid like isopropyl
alcohol, allow sufficient time to dry prior to imaging.

Start Print

The Print  button is  located at the  corner of the  table where media is  loaded. Press the Print button
to  start the print job.  If the job  was selected, the media thickness confirmed and the vacuum is
turned on,  printing will  start after the ink  and lamps reach operating temperature.
