Printing tips ● Rigid cut-sheet media - use only flat, unwarped, undamaged sheets, with parallel opposite edges and 90° corners. ● Curing continues for 24-48 hours - the UV ink will continue to cure for a day or two after printing. Maximum durability and adhesion is achieved after the ink is fully cured. ● Pausing printing - to pause printing, press the Pause key. While printing is paused, you can: ◦ Change media settings (vacuum, print delay). ◦ Pause-swap inks (see "Pause-swapping Ink," below). ● Do not attempt to adjust the vacuum/pressure system for the printheads. It has been factory adjusted for best performance. CAUTION: Synthetic media commonly used for inkjet printing can build up a static charge, especially in environments with low relative humidity. This charge can pose an electrostatic discharge (ESD) hazard to persons, the printer, and other equipment. It can be safely discharged by draping a grounded chain or tinsel over the top of the media. ● Printing roll-fed media without the takeup - cured output is dry to the touch immediately, so roll- fed output can be allowed to collect on the floor (for example, during unattended printing) without using the takeup system, with no damage to the output. Output may also be trimmed as it is printed and advances past the media drive belt. ● Lighter, smaller media rolls - for lighter, smaller rolls of media, you can use the rigid media tables and media rollers to feed the media like rigid media. Pause-swapping ink You can replace one or more ink boxes during a print by pausing the printer: 1. On the printer control panel, press the Pause key. 2. Remove the old profiler. This signals to the printer that the ink box is being replaced. 3. Disconnect and remove the old ink box. 4. Install and connect the new ink box. 5. Install the profiler that was included with the new ink box. 6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 for any other ink boxes you want to replace. 7. On the printer control panel, press the Resume key. 28 Chapter 2 Printing ENWW
