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.
Turn On Table Vacuum
Click on the Vacuum button in the top right corner of the printer software
display to activate the table vacuum. Also a vacuum foot pedal switch is
provided to help secure the media on the table vacuum. Step on the foot
pedal to toggle the table vacuum on or off.
Mask Active Vacuum Zones Not Covered With Media
To hold the media to the table it is important to completely cover active
vacuum zones with either the media to be printed on, or a masking
material. The masking material should not be thicker than the media to be
printed on. If a full bleed image is to be printed, the masking material
should be the same thickness as the media to be printed on to prevent
overspray from accumulating on the print head nozzle plates.
NOTE
When the vacuum is switched off, wait a few seconds before you switch it
on again.
Clean Media, If Required
If the media is dusty or dirty, clean it with an appropriate cleaner. If using a
liquid like isopropyl alcohol, allow sufficient time to dry prior to imaging.
Start Print
The Print button is located at the corner of the table where media is
loaded. Press the Print button to start the print job. If the job was selected,
the media thickness confirmed and the vacuum is turned on, printing will
start after the ink and lamps reach operating temperature.
