loading rigid media
This section explains how to load rigid media.
Caution
When printing on resin board, aluminium sheets (including composite sheets),
steel sheets, glass or other rigids, do not place them directly on the rigid
printing table.
Doing so may cause erroneous printing.
The grid roller will become worn and media will not be fed correctly.
Note
The following media can be loaded on the rigid printing tables
Weight max 5 kg
Length max 1200 mm
Width 1600 mm
Thickness max 10 mm.
Note
We recommend working with the rigid printing tables when printing on rigid
materials.
Please refer to the Installation Guide of the rigid printing tables for more
information.
Note
Use mild detergent to wipe off dirt or dust before using thick media.
When printing on thick media, use both air and platen heater.
When printing using only one of the heaters, the heated surface of the thick
media expands, which warps the media, causing head friction.
The set temperatures for the air heater and platen heater vary depending on the
material and width of the thick media you are using.
Try printing on the thick media you are using once to set the temperature.

After changing the media type, reset the media feed compensation.
