Manual loading
NOTE: Assisted loading is not recommended in a dual-roll configuration.
1. Use the Internal Print Server to raise the carriage beam to its loading position.
2. Open the front door and the curing module.
3. Open the loading table.
4. Unlock the differential in the input spindle.
5. Unwind a length of substrate from the first input roll and place it in the print zone.
6. Push the substrate from the first roll through the printer until it reaches the output spindle.
7. Unwind a length of substrate from the second input roll and place it in the print zone.
8. Push the substrate from the second roll through the printer until it reaches the output spindle.
9. 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.
NOTE: You are recommended to align the edges of both rolls by the lines on both sides of the
spindle’s center mark.
NOTE: The substrate-advance sensor must be covered by the substrate (from 252 to 310 cm on the
ruler).
10. When the substrate is evenly tensioned and flat (no wrinkles or bumps), attach it to each 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.
11. If you are using them, place the three or four substrate edge holders into position and attach them at
the front.
TIP: When aligning the roll edges with the marks on the dual-roll spindle, the center edge holder (if
needed) is shared by both rolls. If you position the rolls differently, and you are using edge holders, take
into account the distance required for the edge holders.
12. Close the front door and the curing module.
13. If you are using them, attach the substrate edge holders at the rear.
