Using Vacuum Zones - Metric Zones
Introduction
When the printer is shipped, the vacuum zones are configured to support metric media sizes. It is
possible to change the configuration from metric to imperial in the field by a qualified service
technician (the technician who installs your printer can do this, if needed). The purpose of the
vacuum zones is to reduce the preprint setup time by reducing the need to mask the open area on
the vacuum table when printing on the most common size media.
The Arizona 1300 Series GT has five control valves that determine the zones that are active when
the table vacuum pump is on. Zone 1 area is always active, and the five valves control zones 2
through 6.
Metric Vacuum Zones
The following shows the locations and media dimensions associated with the factory-set metric
vacuum zones. The name of the zone indicates which vacuum handle controls that zone (except 1
as that zone is always on).
The metric configuration is designed such that zone 6 can be reconfigured by a service
representative from the 2.5m x 1.25m area size to 4'x8'.

Print the Metric Zone Map
A map of the vacuum zones can be printed on the table to help with the position of media over
the zones. A default map is provided, but you can also create your own map, if desired.
