1-4 Operating Requirements
◆ To cap the printheads, use only SolaChrome Printhead Cap-
ping Film. Damage to printheads resulting from the use of
poorly performing plastic films is not covered by the printer
warranty.
◆ The maximum diameter allowed on the takeup spool is 7.5
inches (190.5 mm) on a 3-inch core. When the takeup spool
has a diameter of 6.5-7.5 inches (165.0-190.5 mm), the con-
trol panel displays a warning about possible print quality
issues.
◆ The media supply may be wound either printed-side-out or
printed-side-in, but the takeup, if used, must be loaded
printed-side-in.
◆ The printer includes three gauges: a “minimum” gauge
(0.085 inches above the media), a “maximum” gauge (0.115
inches above the media), and a camera height gauge. Set-
ting the height above the maximum may result in excessive
overspray. Setting the height below the minimum may result
in the carriage striking the media. See “Set the Printhead and
Camera Height” on page 5-12 for instructions.
◆ 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 cre-
ate a custom set. Media Wizard parameter sets can be
selected at any time from the control panel. (See “Media
Wizard” on page 3-44 for details.)
◆ After calibrating the media feed (advance), record the Media
Feed Number (MFN) from the control panel in a notebook.
The next time you load the same media, you can recall the
media feed settings by entering the MFN, instead of per-
forming the calibration again.
◆ Enable AutoTune during long periods of unattended print-
ing. AutoTune runs AutoJet at user-defined intervals to
ensure that all jets are either working or substituted with
working jets. (See “AutoTune” on page 4-4 for instructions.)
◆ Wear cotton gloves when loading media to prevent finger-
prints that could show after printing.
◆ DO NOT rest or store a media roll on end, or you could
cause edge creases that could strike the printheads during
printing.
◆ DO NOT clean the printhead surfaces with a dry cloth or
paper towel.
◆ DO NOT reprint over any output that has not completely
dried. The rubber pinch rollers could be damaged by wet
