2. Loosen the 2 top nuts (if needed), then proceed to screw the top set screws with an Allen key until both bearings of the latch are in contact with the spindle surface. 3. Tighten the top nut and the lateral screws to fix the position. NOTE: Screwing the set screws is easy until the spindle is reached. Do not over tighten the set screws; when the spindle is reached, please proceed to tighten the top nuts instead. Print length issues The print is shorter than expected Some substrates naturally contract when they are printed on and cured, this can mean the total length of the print is shorter than expected. If this is the case, you can expand the length of the print from the RIP, which will compensate for the contraction of the substrate. Alternatively, change to a less thermal-dependent substrate to reduce the contraction. How to achieve better consistency between jobs of the same length The printer has been designed to maximize consistency in the length of the printed substrate. However, there are external variables that can contribute to variability: substrate variations and enviromental conditions. 1. Select a substrate which is less susceptible to expansion when being printed on. Most paper-based substrates have a tendency to expand. ● If you need to print on a substrate susceptible to expansion: 374 Chapter 10 Troubleshoot substrate issues ENWW
