Operating the Substrate Collecting System Preparing Your Printer for Printing
8-12 Sprinter User's Manual
Loading the Printed Substrate into the Collecting System
If you have a long print run, you should load the printed SUBSTRATE onto
the C
OLLECTING SYSTEM.
! To Load the Printed Substrate onto the Collecting System:
1. Engage the C
OLLECTING SYSTEM by checking the RUN COLLECTOR option
in the C
ONFIGURATION dialog box (Figure 8-16, page 8-14).
The C
OLLECTOR ROLLER will rotate during the printing process.
2. Pull out the printed S
UBSTRATE and roll it over the GUIDING ROLLER and
then the C
OLLECTOR ROLLER, as shown in Figure 8-12, page 8-11.
Do not tape the printed Substrate to the Collector Roller as you might wish to
remove it from the core when the roll is full.
Unloading the Printed Substrate from the Collecting System
When the printed roll reaches a diameter of approximately 150mm, the roll
has to be taken out of the C
OLLECTING SYSTEM.
! To unload the Printed Substrate from the Collecting System:
1. Stop the printing process.
2. Cut the printed S
UBSTRATE from the roll.
3. Remove the S
UBSTRATE COLLECTING MECHANISM COVER by lifting it
slightly and then gently pulling it towards you.
4. Pull out both the L
OCKING PINS of the COLLECTOR ROLLER.
Handle the Collector Shaft with care, to avoid damage to the plastic gears.
5. Pull out the printed S
UBSTRATE roll from the COLLECTOR and lay it on a
clean surface.
6. If you do not need to keep the S
UBSTRATE CORE with the printed
Substrate, go to step 10.
7. If you need to keep the S
UBSTRATE CORE with the printed SUBSTRATE,
loosen the Allen screw at the opposite end from the gear wheel and
remove it together with the printed S
UBSTRATE.
8. Replace the S
UBSTRATE CORE with a new one (it must be with a 3"
diameter).
9. Tighten the Allen screw and go to step 13.
10. If you do not wish to remove the S
UBSTRATE CORE, stand the printed
S
UBSTRATE on the floor, with the end opposite the gear wheel
downward.
11. Turn the gear wheel end of the C
OLLECTOR ROLLER anti-clockwise until
all the printed Substrate is loose.
12. Pull out the C
OLLECTOR ROLLER.
13. Relocate the C
OLLECTOR ROLLER together with the SUBSTRATE CORE in
the S
UBSTRATE COLLECTOR with the gear wheel to the right.
