Look at the gap between the pinch wheels and the platen. Adjust the beam height so
there is enough of a gap for the material to pass through by turning the Material

Place the material on the rear material table and line up the edge with the material
guide on the right side.
Note: Gerber recommends cleaning the surface of rigid material by spraying the surface to be
printed on with 99% Isopropyl Alcohol and wiping it away evenly. This improves the output
quality and durability of the print.

Slide the pinch wheels to the left or right
until they are evenly spread over the
material and each pinch wheel is over a
grit wheel roller in the platen.
Note: You do not have to use all six pinch
wheels if you are printing on narrow material,
but the more pinch wheels positioned over the
material the better.
