●
If the collector keeps stopping, and collector movement causes the substrate to be tight between
pressure roller and collector when winding, there could be an object blocking the collector sensor path,
or the winding direction may not have been selected correctly when restarting the collector.
●
If the collector keeps stopping, and collector movement makes substrate loops accumulate on the
ground when unwinding, it is possible that the winding direction has not been selected correctly when
restarting the collector, or that the collector sensor or electronics are broken and should be replaced.
The collector occasionally fails to work correctly
The collector may fail to work correctly if its optical sensor is dirty or blocked by some obstacle.
The collector winds in the wrong direction
1.
Check that the winding direction is set correctly in the Internal Print Server.
2.
Check that there is no obstacle blocking the collector's optical sensor.
The substrate is detached or winds around the collector in the wrong direction
Here are some possible explanations.
●
The winding direction has been set wrongly.
●
The collector has been loaded wrongly.
There is skew or telescoping on the collector
This may happen if the substrate was not properly aligned when attaching it to the collector core. You are
recommended to follow the loading instructions; in particular, align the substrate well.
TIP:
If you have a lot of substrate lying on the ground after printing in roll-to-free-fall mode, and you want
to attach it to the core, you are recommended to choose a core that is the same width as the substrate, so
that a good length of substrate can be aligned around the core before you attach it.
If you cannot resolve the problem satisfactorily, you are recommended to use the roll-to-roll configuration
instead, which has better winding performance.
The substrate has jammed on the collector
Here are some possible explanations.
●
Too much substrate on the collector. The maximum diameter of the output roll is 300 mm (11.8 in) for
the recommended outwards winding, or 200 mm (7.9 in) for inwards winding.
●
The substrate is misaligned.
●
The loop shaper is the wrong length.
