Important operating notes
●
UV CURE INK IS PERISHABLE. Unlike other inks used in wide format printing, UV cure ink has a
limited shelf life. Plan to rotate your ink stock and use it promptly by the date printed on the ink box.
CAUTION: When the UV lamps are switched off, they undergo a controlled cool-down cycle. Sudden
removal of power from hot lamps, such as disconnecting the power cord or from a power outage, can
result in overheating and permanent damage. The lamps should be switched off only via the printer
software.
● The maximum diameter allowed on the optional takeup spool is 178 mm (7.0 in) on a 76 mm (3 in)
core. The supply-takeup system can support rolls of up to approximately 56.7 kg (125 lb).
● The media supply may be wound either printed-side-out or printed-side-in, but the optional takeup,
if used, must be loaded printed-side-in.
●
The default head height set to 2.159 mm (0.085 in) above the media. (The space below the carriage
will measure 1.778 mm (0.070 in) due to the printhead protection frame around the outside of the
carriage.) The head height can be adjusted up or down at the control panel (Printer Settings >
Head Height Off Media).
● The Media Wizard stores a set of operational parameters for predefined and user-defined media
types. When you load a new media type, select an existing Media Wizard set, or create a custom
set. Media Wizard parameter sets can be selected at any time from the control panel.
●
Enable AutoTune during long periods of unattended printing on roll-fed media. AutoTune runs
AutoJet at user-defined intervals to ensure that all jets are either working or substituted with working
jets.
●
Wear cotton gloves when loading media to prevent fingerprints that could show after printing. You
can use isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to clean fingerprints and reduce static electricity on synthetic media.
●
DO NOT reprint over any output that has not completely cured (for example, due to a UV lamp
malfunction).
●
DO NOT rest or store a media roll on end, or you could cause edge creases that could strike the
printheads during printing. To avoid bowing, store sheet-fed media flat, not standing on end.
●
DO NOT set heavy objects on the power cord or printer cable; do not bend the cables or force them
into contorted positions.
● DO NOT place heavy objects anywhere on the printer.
