General Recommendations
Table Setup
•
••
•
Ensure the printer is on an even or flat surface, preferably level. The tables should be co-planar
with the belt. Adjusting the tables to be co-planar is easier if the printer is on a level surface.
•
••
•
The input table should be set so that the table rollers are the same height as the media belt.
•
••
•
The output table should be set so that the table rollers are the same height as the belt.
•
••
•
The height of the rollers may vary from left to right; adjust the tables from the tallest set on the left
and right side of the printer.
•
••
•
A long level or a flat piece of material should be used for making adjustments. Do not use
substrates if possible since they can bow and warp or otherwise not be flat.
•
••
•
Make multiple adjustments alternating from side to side to prevent the tables from having any
significant tilt.
•
••
•
Before printing, ensure that the table latches are securely fastened to establish a proper grounding
path. This is especially important for media types with high static content as the latches secure a
grounding path; reducing the possibility for electrostatic discharge (ESD).
•
••
•
If printing on rigid sheets of media that exceed 12 feet (3.66 m) it is recommended that a
secondary set of media tables are purchased.
Media Feed
•
••
•
Depending on the weight, flatness and effect of bowing due to the UV lamps, media feed can vary
if the substrate is allowed to drag on the belt as opposed to when the substrate is making contact
with the output rollers.
•
••
•
The recommended method of media feed is the 39-inch (990 mm) calibration pattern with the plot
starting at the leading edge of the material to get the best average. For optimal accuracy, across
the full diameter of the media belt, the media feed calibration pattern should be performed three
times consecutively.
