Load and print on rigid media 1. At the end of the Configure Media process (see Configure media on page 18), press the Proceed key on the control panel: OR from the Front Page screen, press the Load Media key. Before you can load, you must configure the media as explained in Configure media on page 18. 2. On the control panel menu, press one of the following media rollers options: ● Flat Media - if the rollers were set to "Yes" in the media configuration (see Configure media on page 18), the rollers will move up or down as needed to be just above the surface of the media. If the rollers were set to "No", the rollers will remain at their highest point and will not be used. In either case, the full imageable length of the sheet is available for printing. ● Warped Media, Hold Down - when a sheet is loaded, the leading edge is advanced so that it is underneath the output roller. Printing is allowed only until the trailing edge of the sheet has reached the input roller. The imageable area of the sheet is reduced by 65.4 cm (25.76 in) from both the leading and trailing edges. NOTE: The media rollers are not lowered onto the media with any force or pressure, other than their own weight. They are designed to hold down lighter weight media with at most a moderate amount of warping. They may have no effect on heavier, badly warped media. For best results, use the flattest available media. 3. On the control panel, enter the thickness of the media you are loading. 4. Load the sheet of media onto the input table, sliding it forward against the media alignment bar (under the printhead carriage rail), then left along the media alignment bar until the media touches the media fence. 5. Press the Sheet Ready foot pedal or button on the control panel, or Cancel to cancel the media load process. At this point you can also adjust the vacuum fans in each zone, and the printhead height clearance from the media. If the sheet is warped or not being held down, you may want to increase the vacuum or raise the head height. A lower head height reduces overspray, but increases the chance of the carriage or printheads striking the media. 6. Select the media length from the list. The control panel asks for the number of sheets to feed. 7. Enter the number of sheets: ● Single sheet ● N-UP - for two or more sheets loaded at once across the width of the printer The control panel displays a summary screen of the settings you specified. 8. Press the Proceed (►) key. The control panel displays a confirmation message. 9. Press the Proceed (►) key. The Front Page screen appears. 20 Chapter 2 Printing ENWW
