SECTION 3 – Operating Printer
Media Feed Setup
Printer is equipped with four Sheet Separators, two Side Guides, and a Rear Media Support Guide with two different
sized Wedge Extensions. When properly adjusted these items will separate and guide the media so that only one
piece of media is fed into the Print Engine at a time.
Print Zone Reference Tool
A Print Zone Reference Tool is attached to the Feed Table on the printer; near the sheet separation area.
It is provided as an aid for positioning the Media Side Guides so the Media passes under the desired area of the
printhead (print zone) and as a reference for identifying if the media will pass over the Exit Sensor or not.
NOTE
: The Print Zone Reference Tool identifies the approximate locations of the items identified on the Tool
(decal). Some variation can be expected due to assembly tolerances.
Print Zone:
Shows approximate position of print area (222.75 mm, 8.77”) within print engine.
Exit Sensor Position:
Shows approximate position of Exit Sensor.
If your Media doesn’t fully cover the Exit Sensor symbol; you must select “Ignore Exit Sensor” in the Touchscreen
(Job Menu, Media Thickness).
NOTE
: Exit Sensor is located under the Exit Transport Cover, on the table top, between Media Transport Belts.
Center Point:
Shows approximate center point of the Print Zone (Printhead).
This Center Point identifier is useful when primarily using media that measures up to 4.38”. In this case you can
position the media so it passes under the left side of the print zone. When the print quality in this area of the
Printhead becomes unacceptable (reaches nozzle end of life); you can move media so it passes under the right half of
the print zone, set Left Adjustment in the Driver to ~111 mm and select “Ignore Exit Sensor” in the Touchscreen.
By doing this you can take advantage of the unused section of the Printhead; thereby extending Printhead life.
Tip:
Don’t forget to move the position of the Feeder/Entry Sensor Assembly so it is located over the media’s path.
WARNING
Before you start using the printer, please be sure you have
properly installed the Print Platen and Drip Tray Assembly.
