Setting Leaf (Cut) Fabric
With leaf, tension cannot be put at feeding side. Set leaf so that no wrinkle occurs when setting the
pressure roller.
It the fabric already have creases, it unable to feed the belt normally. Creases may cause head at-
tached or fabric jam. Do not use such a fabric or, if it is used, apply your hand until feeding is
completed.
• END of fabric is not detected when LEAF is selected. Specify the data size
within the leaf length.
• When LEAF is selected, it is necessary to monitor the fabric until the lead-
ing edge of the fabric passes the peeling roller by 300mm or more to pre-
vent the fabric from being caught by the head. Be sure to make sure this
point. Since the heater cannot be used effectively, be careful of stain of the
fabric after printing.
• When setting the fabric, make sure to check that the head height has been
properly adjusted. (Refer to Page 2.33)
1. Stick the leading edge of the leaf lightly be-
tween the belt and the pressure roller.
2. Make sure that there are no wrinkles or slacks
at the backside of the drooping leaf. If neces-
sary, perform step (1) again.
3. Set the pressure roller.
• If the 2 inch fabric core is set under the
fabric at the backside of the pressure
roller along with the pressure roller,
wrinkles less able to occur on the belt.
