6. Select the substrate category of the roll you are loading.
NOTE: You should select the name of the particular substrate that you are using in your RIP
software, not in the front panel.
TIP: When loading very thin substrates, always select the substrate category as Banner to
minimize the vacuum pressure applied while loading; when loading very thick substrates, always
give the substrate category as HP Photorealistic to maximize the vacuum pressure. After loading
and before printing, go to the front panel and change to the correct category for the substrate you
are loading: select the icon, then select View loaded substrate > Change loaded substrate.
7. The printer checks the substrate in various ways and may ask you to correct problems with skew
or tension.
NOTE: You can specify the maximum permitted amount of skew at the front panel: select the
icon, then select Substrate handling options > Max skew setting.
8. The printer calibrates the substrate advance.
9. If you are loading transparent substrate without opaque borders, you are asked to enter the width
of the substrate and the distance of the right edge from the printer's side plate (as indicated by the
ruler on the front of the curing module).
10. The printer indicates that it is ready for printing.
Take care not to cover the fans.
