HP Latex 3000 Printer - Manual (Page 60)

8. Place it in the print zone.
9. Push the substrate through the printer until it reaches the output spindle.
10. Align the substrate by checking that the substrate edge is in the same position on the input and output
spindles. This can be done by using the rulers on the spindles or by measuring the distance between the
right edge and the side plate.
11. When the substrate is evenly tensioned and flat (no wrinkles or bumps), attach it to the empty core with
adhesive tape. Tape it first in the center, and then at the left and right sides, making sure not to pull the
substrate excessively or leave it wrinkled.
12. If you are using them, place the substrate edge holders into position and attach them at the front.
13. Close the front door and the curing module.
14. If you are using them, attach the substrate edge holders at the rear.
15. Close the loading table.
16. Use the Internal Print Server to lower the carriage beam to its printing position.
17. Go to the Internal Print Server and press the Finish button. The printer rotates both rolls to check their
diameters, and it also checks the width of the roll, the winding direction, the vacuum, and the substrate
advance calibration (this takes about a minute).
NOTE: Some substrates (such as transparent substrates) cannot be measured by the printer in this
way. In such cases, you will be asked to enter the Left Edge and Width fields yourself into the Internal
Print Server. Use the ruler on the spindle to check these values.
18. An alert about substrate-advance tracking may appear at this point. For more information on when you
might want to turn off automatic tracking, see
Substrate-advance compensation on page 128 .
The printer is now ready to print.
