3-6 General Printing Tips
General Printing Tips See “Important Operating Notes” on page 1-3 for impor-
tant information on operating the printer.
Before printing on vinyl media that has been loaded on an
idle printer overnight or longer, advance the portion of the
media that has been resting on the preheater (prior to the
platen) past the print zone. In this situation, the vinyl tends
to retain the shape of the preheater, making it more likely
that the printheads or carriage will strike the media.
To pause printing, press the Pause button on the control
panel. While printing is paused, you can change the Heat-
ers, Vacuum, and Dry Delay settings. Changed settings will
remain in effect until media is loaded, when the settings
saved in the Media Wizard will be restored. While printing is
paused you can also “pause-swap” ink (see “Pause-Swap-
ping Ink” on page 3-12 for instructions).
