Substrate tips General tips Handle unprinted and printed substrates with care, and preferably with cotton gloves, to avoid fingerprints. For heavy rolls, use a forklift, and two people wearing security shoes. Before loading a roll: ● Check that temperature and humidity in the room are within the recommended ranges for the printer. See Environmental specifications on page 104. ● Check that neither the roll nor its core are bent or deformed, which may cause the substrate to jam in the printer. ● If the roll has been stored in a place not offering the recommended environmental conditions, allow some time for it to adapt to the temperature and humidity of the printer's environment. ● Check which is the correct side for printing, by reading the label inside the core or the note inserted into the package (or see Tips for specific substrates on page 22). ● Check that the substrate is correctly attached to the input core. Otherwise, you will see poor print quality due to substrate advance errors. ● You may find it easier to load a roll if you first move the carriage beam to its highest position. While loading a roll, make sure the leading edge is parallel and straight across the output core, and attached evenly (start taping the substrate to the core at the center, then move towards the edges).

Substrate tips
General tips
Handle unprinted and printed substrates with care, and preferably with cotton gloves, to avoid
fingerprints. For heavy rolls, use a forklift, and two people wearing security shoes.
Before loading a roll:
●
Check that temperature and humidity in the room are within the recommended ranges for the
printer. See
Environmental specifications
on page
104
.
●
Check that neither the roll nor its core are bent or deformed, which may cause the substrate to jam
in the printer.
●
If the roll has been stored in a place not offering the recommended environmental conditions,
allow some time for it to adapt to the temperature and humidity of the printer's environment.
●
Check which is the correct side for printing, by reading the label inside the core or the note
inserted into the package (or see
Tips for specific substrates
on page
22
).
●
Check that the substrate is correctly attached to the input core. Otherwise, you will see poor print
quality due to substrate advance errors.
●
You may find it easier to load a roll if you first move the carriage beam to its highest position.
While loading a roll, make sure the leading edge is parallel and straight across the output core, and
attached evenly (start taping the substrate to the core at the center, then move towards the edges).
