Specifications

Introduction

Specifications associated with the use of roll media are indicated in this section.

NOTE

The Roll Media Option must be operated in accordance with the environmental conditions

specified in the Arizona 135 GT Site Preparation Guide and all safety requirements noted in this

document.

Media Size Supported

Width (Max.): 2.2m (86.6")

Width (Min.): 0.9m (36")

Roll Diameter (Max.): 240mm (9.45”)

Core Inner Diameter: 76.2mm (3”)

Weight: up to 50kg (110lbs)

Print Size Supported

2.190m (86.2”)

This allows for a minimum 5mm (0.2”) border. This is necessary to ensure the platen is not
contaminated with ink due to possible media tracking errors. Cured and uncured ink on the platen
will have a serious effect on printer performance. Any spilled ink must be removed immediately
(See RMO Maintenance section). If an image exceeds the 5mm border requirement, printing will
not be allowed to proceed.

Maximum Media Thickness

This value is not officially specified. It is theoretically possible for the RMO system to
accommodate media up to 3mm (0.11 inches). However, most media at or near that thickness will
have problems in the transport mechanism of the RMO unit.

Leader & End of Roll Waste

Leader Waste

: 560mm (22 inches)

Leader waste is the amount of media that cannot be printed between the roll media platen and
the take-up media roll. This waste is produced every time media is loaded, taped to the take-up
core and initialized in preparation for the first print.

End of Roll Waste

(minimum possible): 920mm (36 inches)

End of roll waste is the media that cannot be printed at the end of the supply media roll. This will
vary slightly depending on the attachment method that was used to secure the media to the
media core.
