Substrate length tracking

Page 60 highlights

Substrate length tracking The substrate length tracking feature enables you to keep track of how much substrate you have used and how much is remaining on the roll. 1. When the roll is first loaded onto the printer you have the option to enter the length of substrate on the roll. The amount of substrate that is subsequently used is then tracked. 2. When the substrate is unloaded, the front panel displays the amount remaining so that you can note it for future reference. 3. Next time the substrate is loaded, you can enter the remaining length, and the printer again tracks the substrate as it is used. If the substrate was never actually unloaded, for example if there was a substrate jam and the substrate was unloaded and the printer was turned off and on, if you select Last known length the printer will apply the values from when the jam occurred (if the tracking feature was enabled). The remaining length of substrate is always displayed in the Substrate area of the front panel. This information may also be displayed in your RIP. 54 Chapter 4 Handle the substrate ENWW

Substrate length tracking
The substrate length tracking feature enables you to keep track of how much substrate you have used
and how much is remaining on the roll.
1.
When the roll is first loaded onto the printer you have the option to enter the length of substrate on
the roll. The amount of substrate that is subsequently used is then tracked.
2.
When the substrate is unloaded, the front panel displays the amount remaining so that you can
note it for future reference.
3.
Next time the substrate is loaded, you can enter the remaining length, and the printer again tracks
the substrate as it is used. If the substrate was never actually unloaded, for example if there was a
substrate jam and the substrate was unloaded and the printer was turned off and on, if you select
Last known length
the printer will apply the values from when the jam occurred (if the tracking
feature was enabled).
The remaining length of substrate is always displayed in the Substrate area of the front panel. This
information may also be displayed in your RIP.
