Printing Jobs on the GERBER SOLARA UV2
To make adjustments before printing
1
Open the front cover. This will not cancel the job because it hasn’t started printing yet.
(You cannot open the front cover if the UV lamps are currently on)
2
Move the carriage assembly out over the platen and adjust the UV lamp height
according to your material profile (LOW position or HIGH position).
When you are finished, move the carriage back into the home position.
See “Adjusting the UV lamp position” on page 44.
3
Turn the dial on each pinch wheel to adjust
the force according to your material profile.
♦
Turn counterclockwise a half
turn for LOW force.
♦
Turn clockwise a half turn for
HIGH force.

Once you are finished making adjustments return close the front cover. The
GERBER SOLARA UV2 will ask you to select the material type again. Press
F2, VINYL, F3, RIGID BLEED, or F4, RIGID material.

The GERBER SOLARA UV2 will automatically home the carriage and re-scan the

6
When the job begins to print, the Job Status line alternately displays both the job name
and job status (running or paused).
Note: Do not turn off the GERBER SOLARA UV2 or attempt to open the front cover while a
job is printing or it will terminate the current job as well as all the jobs in queue.
7
If you send another job to the printer, it will begin as soon as the current job is done.
Note: If you do not send a job within one minute after the last job is finished printing, the
lamps will turn off. If a job is sent after this point, the lamp warm-up sequence occurs before
printing will resume.
If a job does not start when running in multi mode
When the GERBER SOLARA UV2 is printing in multi mode, the next job will not begin if one of
the following conditions occurs:
♦
The CANCEL key is pressed
♦
An ink cartridge needs to be replaced
♦
A system error occurs
♦
The printer mode is switched to Single and then back to Multi
If any of the above conditions occur, press F1, Start-Job to begin the job. The GERBER SOLARA
UV2 will begin printing when it receives the job as long as there is material loaded and the ink
reservoirs are full.
