Prepare to print The following steps must be followed before the printer can print: 1. Go to the Internal Print Server and select Substrate Load/Unload to open the Printer Configuration window. 2. Select the printer configuration that you intend to use; the on-screen help will appear on the left. NOTE: The Reload substrate check box should be checked only if the printer has just previously had the same configuration (i.e. the same substrate, same profile), and because of a severe system error, you had to restart the printer. 3. Load the substrate. Substrate loading instructions are displayed in the Internal Print Server window. For more detailed instructions, see Load a roll onto the spindle on page 59 and Load a roll into the printer on page 65. 4. Select the substrate type. 5. Press the Finish button in the Internal Print Server to start the substrate check, then enter the substrate type in the Loaded Substrate window. TIP: If the printer has been idle overnight with substrate loaded, and exposed to high or low temperatures, advance the substrate 13 to 25 cm (5 to 10 in) before printing, to avoid printhead crashes or ink smears on the substrate. The substrate edge holders The purpose of the substrate edge holders is to prevent the substrate edges from lifting up and jamming while printing. If you experience this kind of problem while printing, you can try using the edge holders to overcome it. The edge holders are highly recommended when printing on textile substrates. When printing on porous substrates, use the edge holders included in the ink collector kit (see The ink collector kit on page 48). ENWW Prepare to print 43
