Print a Job
Introduction
This section explains the basic steps to follow for printing a job.
Prepare a Digital Image with ONYX Thrive
Operator must be trained to use ONYX Thrive. Training is provided by ONYX.
Send the Job From ONYX Software to the Printer
When the job is sent from the ONYX software, the job transmission progress is indicated in the
lower right corner of the User Interface display. After the transmission has completed it will
appear in the list of Active print jobs in the Job Control Module.
Perform Maintenance (if this is the first print of the day)
Refer to the Maintenance chapter in this manual for details.
Measure Media Thickness
Use a digital slide calliper to accurately measure the thickness of the media. A small error in
measurement of media thickness can reduce print quality. A large error can cause a carriage
crash with the media.
Select Job To Be Printed, Check Print Parameters And Verify Media Thickness
Click on the job to be printed from the active job list to select it. After it is selected click the Print
icon and the information and parameters for the job will be displayed. If needed, enter the
measured media thickness value and set the lamp levels. Select the Confirm Printing parameters
buttons when the information is correct.
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 using the media
registration pins.
Mask Table Areas Not Covered With Media
To hold the media to the table it is important to completely cover the rest of the vacuum table
with either media of the same thickness, 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 ink overspray.
Turn On Table Vacuum
IMPORTANT
When the vacuum is switched off, wait a few seconds before you switch it on again.
Click on the Vacuum button in the printer UI 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.
