HP Scitex FB550 Rigid Media Guide - Page 20

Rigid media guidelines Never use sheets of media that exceed the maximum published weight specification of 150 lb (68 kg). For materials between 50-150 lb (22-68 kg), choose Heavy when selecting media weight in the Media Wizard. To reduce the risk of damage due to a head strike, do not print on media longer than the tables are designed to support. Optional Extension Tables are available to support longer media. Maximum media length Standard tables Optional extension tables Two sets of extension tables FB550 48 inches (122 cm) 120 inches (305 cm) n/a FB750 48 inches (122 cm) 80 inches (203 cm) 120 inches (305 cm) Media tables should be leveled such that the tops of the table rollers are level and coplanar to the flat surface of the media belt. Ensure that the tables are latched securely to the printer to establish a proper grounding path for any residual static build up on the media. Print speed may need to be adjusted when using certain materials that deform when subjected to sustained heat (e.g. polystyrene-face foam board). In these cases some combination of a higher vacuum setting, faster print mode, higher-than-standard head height and the addition of a printing delay (Media > Settings > View Print Mode > Change Print Mode > Select Print Delay) may be required to achieve the best results.
