18. Go to the front panel and select Carriage beam position > Move to printing (normal) to lower the carriage beam into its normal position, close to the substrate. This process takes about two minutes to complete. NOTE: The Move to printing (custom) position allows you to set the printhead-to-substrate distance for thick substrates or substrates that may wrinkle in the print zone, to avoid ink smearing. Be aware that raising the printhead from the substrate may give poorer print quality. WARNING! Do not insert your hands or anything else into the printer while the carriage beam is descending. 19. Lower the substrate pressure handles at the rear of the printer. If you forget to do this, an alert will remind you. 20. If you intend to use full bleed, do not use the substrate edge holders, but use Move to printing (custom) to raise the carriage. Do not remove the edge holders; just move them aside at each end of the platen. 21. If you do not intend to use full bleed, use the substrate edge holders to prevent the substrate edges from lifting up and jamming while printing. See The substrate edge holders on page 27. 22. Go to the HP Internal Print Server and press the Load button. The printer rotates both rolls to check their diameters, and it also checks the width of the roll, the winding direction, the vacuum and the substrate advance calibration (this takes 1-2 min). NOTE: Some substrates (such as transparent substrates) cannot be measured by the printer in this way. In such cases, you will be asked to enter the required information manually. Use the scale on the curing module to see the value for the right-hand edge that must be entered manually in the HP Internal Print Server. Handle the substrate 42 Chapter 3 Handle the substrate ENWW
