HP Latex 3000 Printer - Manual (Page 38)

If the rear of the edge holder cannot be placed due to a ramp, slide the ramp away to provide space for the
edge holder. There are three ramps to help the substrate to load in assisted mode. The two ramps at the
sides can slide; the center one is fixed. The edge holder cannot be placed in that position.
CAUTION: Place the edge holder carefully. It should remain perfectly straight, otherwise it could damage
the printheads and carriage.
TIP: Once installed, an edge holder cannot be slid sideways. If you want to move it sideways, you must
remove it and reinstall it in the new position.
Replace an edge holder strip
Replacement edge holder strips come with the Cleaning Kit. Replace the strip if it is broken (for example, by
an impact) or deteriorated (for example, by accumulated ink).
1. If it is installed in the printer, remove the edge holder from the platen, disengaging it from the back and
then from the front.
2. Loosen but do not remove the screw at each end of the edge holder.
3. Remove the old strip, insert the new one, and tighten the screws.
4. Replace the edge holder on the platen, if you intend to use it.
The ink collector kit
Before printing on porous substrates (textile mesh, flag, and voile), you must install the ink collector kit
available as an accessory, to protect the printer from the ink that falls through the substrate. The kit should
be removed before printing on non-porous substrates.
See Check the porosity of your substrate on page 23 if in doubt.
