NOTES ON HANDLING A BOARD FOR THE MEDIUM
• When a board is used as the medium, be sure to adjust the head height
beforehand. Otherwise, the head can be damaged by making contact with
the board during plotting.
• When the medium is changed from a board to a thinner medium, be sure to
adjust the head height too.
•
When a board exceeding 300 mm in length or a flexible board is used as the
medium, place a stand which is nearly the same in height as the platen top
surface on the front and rear sides of the device. Otherwise, it can happen
that the printing surface of the board makes contact with the head or the
board is not fed properly.
• Make sure that the amount of warp of the board is not more than 1 mm.
A board which warps more may not be fed properly.
• Avoid using a board having an irregular surface on the back (the side
opposite to the printing surface). Otherwise, the board may not be fed
properly or defective printing (e.g., unwanted streaks on the printing surface)
may occur.
Prepare stands for preventing the board from hanging down.
