Operating the Printer Preparing the Media Recheck that all the necessary components of the printer are installed. • Is the Wire Form Assembly installed? • Is the Sliding Fence installed? • Is the printer plugged into a power outlet? • Does the printer have an Ink Jet Cartridge installed? • Is the printer connected to the computer? Now that all the parts of the printer are installed the printer needs to be adjusted to work with the media.
Operating the Printer Media Types The printer is designed to feed and print on a variety of media with various finishes and coatings. The sharpness of the print quality will vary with different media types, depending on how absorbent the media is, as well as other qualities. The best results can be achieved using white wove bonded stock. The printing quality will be less sharp on tyvek, recycled and glossy media.
Operating the Printer Setting the proper feed gap To start a print job the feed gap should be set for each type of media used in the printer. The feed gap is the spacing between the feed rollers and the separators. Set the feed gap with a piece media by following these procedures: 1. Loosen the H Block Knob on the three H-Block Assemblies. 2. Raise the three H-Block Assemblies up. Tighten the H Block Knobs to secure H-Block Assemblies in place.
Operating the Printer followed the preceding steps and are experiencing feeding problem using post cards or stuffed media try the following: Post cards (.003" thickness) - set a smaller gap between the HBlock Assemblies and the Feed Rollers. Try using a sheet of copy paper to set the feed gap. Stuffed Media - set a larger gap between the separator blocks and the feed roller. Try adding two or three, number ten (# 10) envelopes, on top of the media before setting the separators.
Operating the Printer • • • Wire Form Center Adjustment to eliminate skewing of the media and print. Wire Form Height Adjustment to allow the printer to feed media of varying density. Example: Rigid media is set low, light weight media is set high. Wire Form Ramp Adjustment improves the feeding of media by distributing the weight of the media stack onto the feed roller. Wire Form Center Adjustment Adjust Feed Carriage The Feed Carriage Assembly needs to be adjusted with the Wire Form Assembly. 1.
Operating the Printer Wire Form Height Adjustment The Wire Form Assembly helps the printer feed the media. Use the following suggestions as a guide for setting the height of the Wire Form Assembly. When the media is: • Heavy media- set low • Light media - set high. • Rigid media - set low To adjust the Wire Form Assembly: 1. Loosen the Carriage Knob on the Feed Carriage Adjust Feed Ramp and Wire Form Assembly Assembly. 2. Move the Wire Form Assembly accordingly. 3.
Operating the Printer Sliding Fence Adjustment Recheck your setup and adjustments: • • • • Is the feed gap set? Is the Wire Form in the center of the media? Is the Wire Form at a good height? Is the Feed Ramp beneath the edge of the media? Position the Sliding Fence before stacking the bin area with media. The fence has to be close enough to the media to keep it from going in at an angle and loose enough for the media to drop down to the Feed Rollers. To properly position the fence: 1.
Operating the Printer 4. Put the media into the bin. Start with a few pieces to get the proper contour. The media stack should be "shingled" when loaded into the input bin with flap away from the feed roller and facing downward. Add several more pieces. Keep adding to the stack until the bin is full of media.
Printer Tips Adjusting the Left and Right Exit Roller Slider Output Stack Height Revision A Push the Exit Roller Slider left or right to move the slider to a new position on the shaft. Place the Sliders to 1/4 of an inch (6.35 mm) from the left and right edges of the media. It is important to check that the Sliders do not contact any printed information on the media. If the rollers do roll over any printed areas they will act as a brush with paint and smear the print.
Printer Tips Adjustment Lever Fine Tuning The Adjustment Lever changes the distance of the ink jet cartridge from the media. This gives the printer the ability to adapt to different types of media.
