Set the carriage beam position The carriage beam position determines the vertical distance between the printheads and the platen. If it is too great, print quality will be impaired. If it is too small, there is a risk that the printheads will come into contact with the substrate, causing smears or damage. ● The substrate-load position is not used for printing: it may be used for loading thick substrates or for maintenance tasks. ● The printing position is a fixed height suitable for unwrinkled substrates up to 0.4 mm (0.016 in) thick. ● A custom position is used for substrates thicker than 0.4 mm (0.016 in), or for substrates that wrinkle slightly due to heating. We recommend setting the custom position as follows: - The thickness of the substrate plus 1.9 mm for substrates that do not wrinkle. - The thickness of the substrate plus 2 to 3 mm for substrates that wrinkle. You cannot exceed the maximum height permitted by the Internal Print Server. TIP: Try to avoid wrinkling by using substrates that do not wrinkle, or by using a slower print mode that will allow you to lower the drying power. To set the carriage beam position, go to the Internal Print Server and select the appropriate position from the drop-down list. WARNING! Keep away from the printer's moving parts until the carriage beam has reached its new position. CAUTION: Do not change the carriage beam position while the printhead cleaning roll is out of place. 58 Chapter 5 Handle the substrate ENWW
