same advice (in the case of firmware updates, a new notification appears when there a new firmware
release becomes available).
● Embedded Web Server: The Embedded Web Server shows only one alert at a time, which is judged to be
the most important.
An alert may require you to perform a maintenance operation; see Hardware maintenance on page 121 .
The following alerts require a service engineer:
● Service Maintenance Kit 1
● Service Maintenance Kit 2
● Service Maintenance Kit 3
Printer states
The printer may be in any one of the following states; some of them require waiting.
● Ready (cold): The printer is powered on but has not printed yet, and the heaters are not turned on.
● Preparing to print: The printer is warming up the heaters and preparing the printheads to print. This
takes 1 to 6 min.
● Ready for substrate
● Ready for side A/B
● Printing
● Printing side A/B
● Drying: This takes 1.5 to 5 min.
● Finishing: The printer is cooling down and preparing for stand-by. This takes 0.5 to 5 min.
If jobs of the same print mode as the already-printed file are sent while the printer is Drying (if the cutter is
not enabled) or Finishing, the printer goes to Preparing to print.
To save time between prints, concatenate jobs with the same print mode and turn the cutter off to skip the
Drying and Finishing states. For better throughput, you are recommended to use nesting to print several
jobs in the same workflow.
Even if the cutter is on or successive jobs use different print modes, it is better to print them all together
without delays to minimize the time spent in Preparing to print.
Change margins
The printer margins determine the area between the edges of your image and the edges of the substrate. The
360 printer with ink collector is capable of printing with no side margins (full bleed).
The side margins for a particular print job are selected in the RIP software; if the job exceeds the substrate
width, it will be clipped.
The front panel offers additional settings for the top and bottom margins: see Table 11-6 Margins
on page 167 . These settings apply only to single prints when the cutter is not in use. The top and bottom
margins are not applied during double-sided printing.
To set the top margin at the front panel, press , then Substrate > Substrate handling options > Extra
top margin.
