LOADING STOCK FOR THE FIRST TIME
1) Adjust the unwind width wider than the roll of stock to be loaded. Set the stock
roll on the unwind between the guides with the stock unwinding from the top
clockwise. Adjust the unwind width down to the stock size without clamping the
core.
2) Adjust the web guides on the decurler bar to a width wider than the stock.
3) Remove the tape or pull the glued end of the stock loose from the supply roll of
stock. Pull off about 2 feet (.5 m) of stock to thread it through the printer.
NOTE: If the material was glued to the core, cut off all material that has glue on any
surface.
4) Open the hinged cover to the machine.
5) Open all the print heads by pulling the release knob and then rotating the print
head into the open latched position. The top two print stations have a pin in the
rear to hold them open. The bottom print station has a hole in the rear to hold
the print head slightly open to act as a bridge for the stock to pass over.
6) Open the feed rollers by rotating the feed pressure knob fully clockwise.
7) After looping the leading edge of the stock over the decurler slide it through the
funnel containing the registration sensor system. Adjuste the web guide knob to
the width of the stock. Do Not Pinch the edges of the material.
