1-4 Operating Requirements
◆ To cap the printheads, use only SolaChrome Printhead Cap-
ping Film. Damage to printheads resulting from the use of
poorly performing plastic films is not covered by the printer
warranty.
◆ The maximum diameter allowed on the takeup spool is 7.5
inches (190.5 mm) on a 3-inch core. When the takeup spool
has a diameter of 6.5-7.5 inches (165.0-190.5 mm), the con-
trol panel displays a warning about possible print quality
issues.
◆ The media supply may be wound either printed-side-out or
printed-side-in, but the takeup, if used, must be loaded
printed-side-in.
◆ The default head height set to 0.100 inches, which allows
wide variety of media thicknesses to be utilized without need
to adjust head height. If you do adjust the head height, you
should also adjust the camera height and verify the service
station height. See “Set the Printhead and Camera Height”
on page 5-11 for instructions.
◆ The Media Wizard stores a set of operational parameters for
predefined and user-defined media types. When you load a
new media type, select an existing Media Wizard set, or cre-
ate a custom set. Media Wizard parameter sets can be
selected at any time from the control panel. (See “Media
Wizard” on page 3-32 for details.)
◆ Enable AutoTune during long periods of unattended print-
ing. AutoTune runs AutoJet at user-defined intervals to
ensure that all jets are either working or substituted with
working jets. (See “AutoTune” on page 4-4 for instructions.)
◆ Wear cotton gloves when loading media to prevent finger-
prints that could show after printing.
◆ DO NOT rest or store a media roll on end, or you could
cause edge creases that could strike the printheads during
printing.
◆ DO NOT clean the printhead surfaces with a dry cloth or
paper towel.
◆ DO NOT reprint over any output that has not completely
dried. The rubber pinch rollers could be damaged by wet
ink. If ink does get onto the pinch rollers, clean them with
SolaChrome HR Cleaning Solvent and dry them thoroughly
before printing.
