How to Handle Media
and/or humidity changes of the working environment. Ideally, store media in the
same environmental conditions as it will be used.
■
Store media flat to reduce tendency to bow. Do not use creased, damaged, torn,
curled, or warped material.
■
Do not leave material loaded in the printer for an extended period of time. The
material may curl resulting in misalignment, jams, or decreased printing quality.
■
Some material has a printable side and a non-printable side. If you print on a
non-printable side, adhesion and color may be affected.
■
Handle media with lint-free gloves. Oil deposits from fingers will degrade print
quality. Do not touch the printable side of material.
■
Media must be free of lint, dust, oil or other debris. Use techniques and solutions
that are appropriate to the manufacturer's recommendations.
■
Use a tack cloth to clean media as it will reduce static buildup. Press lightly when
you use a tack cloth to prevent residue deposit on the media.
Note: Dirty media can affect image quality and reliability of printer output. If you
wipe the media with a tack cloth before printing, it will reduce ink buildup on the
carriage underside. The tack cloth removes static and also removes particles that
tend to attract stray ink drops that result in ink buildup. Tack cloths are used by
auto-body shops to clean cars before painting. Océ does not provide additional tack
cloths beyond what is in the Accessory kit. If you did not receive a cloth or if you wish
to purchase additional tack cloths, they are available at local hardware or
auto-oriented stores.
Carriage Collision Recovery
If something on the table is higher than the media (or if the media is thicker than what
is actually set in the print job settings), a carriage collision may occur. If a collision
occurs, the carriage will stop and display a message on the User Interface panel.
After the operator clears the offending media from the table and before the next print
is started, printhead maintenance must be performed Printhead Maintenance.
Media Adhesion
Some media have better adhesion quality than others. Factors such as the amount of
ink used and the amount of curing energy from the UV lamps can affect adhesion.
For more information on media adhesion, see Application Bulletin 6 on the customer
support web site.
