How to Set Up a Print Job
Measure Media Thickness
Use a digital slide caliper or micrometer to accurately measure the media thickness
of the media. An error in measurement of media thickness will affect bi-directional
alignment and can contribute to the amount of graininess in the printed image or
cause a carriage/printhead crash with the media.
Set the Printer to Flatbed
Select the Flatbed button on the toolbar to prepare the printer. This is required only
when the printer is initially started, or if it is reset due to an error condition.
Select Job To Be Printed, Check Print Parameters And Verify Media Thickness
Click on the job to be printed from the active job list to select it. After it is selected
the parameters on the job information and parameters panel will be displayed and
may be modified if desired. Refer to the section Graphical User Interface Display for
details on what is displayed and how to modify the job information.
Select Print Icon, Print Mode, and Confirm Media Thickness
When you select the Print toolbar icon it will gray-out the icon and the hand icon to
the left of the job to be printed will turn green.
When printing Flatbed mode and Flatbed icon on the command toolbar is not
selected, select it. Similarly, if printing in roll mode and the Roll icon is not selected
select it.
The print job's icon should change to red/orange, and also the Pause icon and
Confirm thickness buttons should appear in the command toolbar right beside Media
thickness field.
Enter the measured media thickness value in indicated measurement units.
Select the 'Confirm thickness' button.
Prepare Media for Printing
Place And Register Media On The Printer Vacuum Table
Place the media on the table in the orientation that matches the job to printed and
register the media to the print origin. In the next section there are more details on
how to perform the following actions (
see ‘The Media Vacuum System’ on page 85 ).
Select Active Vacuum Zones
Select the required vacuum zones to hold the media to the table using the table
vacuum. The three vacuum zone control handles control which of the three zones on
the printer table will have vacuum applied when the table vacuum pump is turned on.
The vacuum zones are opened or closed using a quarter turn handle. Refer to the next
section for details on the dimensions and placement of the vacuum zones How to
