Preparing to Cut: Aligning the Pinch Rollers
3 - 15
When the Media Width Exceeds 540 mm
Position the three right-hand pinch rollers when the plotter is viewed from the front
so that the left and right pinch rollers are at the edges and the middle pinch roller
in the center of the media. Make sure that all the pinch rollers are positioned over
grit rollers. Move any pinch rollers that are not used to the standby position.
If you wish to use all four of the Vinyl Express Q160 pinch rollers, position the two
outermost pinch rollers at the edges of the media and the other two pinch rollers in
between, making sure that the pinch rollers are all spaced equally, and that each
pinch roller is positioned over a grit roller.
CAUTION: The media must always be positioned over the media sensor.
