Preparing the Media Table
Before you can place any materials onto the media table, you will need to prepare the table with an
appropriate hold-down device. DCS recommends a tacky mat available through a DCS authorized
distributor.
Use the following guidelines to help you prepare the printer's table:
•
If you are using a mat, be sure that the mat is level and flat.
•
To avoid bubbling of your substrate, use hold-down material that is of sufficient length, position
and quantity to ensure that the substrate lies flat on the table.
•
Replace any hold-down device that has lost its tack or is no longer flat.
Note
Whatever hold-down method you use, no part of the hold-down system should protrude above the
surface of the substrate.
Loading Substrates onto the Media Table
When loading substrates onto the table, you can ensure consistent and predictable output by following
these steps:
Bring the media table all the way to the left, if it isn't already in that position.
