Adjusting the printed length of the image

There is always the possibility that the printed length of a file might

change when using a more elastic substrate. Generally speaking, you only

have to calibrate the printed length once. However, if you change to a more

elastic substrate such as Banner or Tyvek, you should calibrate the

printed length accordingly.

To calibrate the printed length of a file, print a sample. The file should be

no less than 1.5m long.

You carry out the calibrating procedure by using the F

INE ADJUST LENGTH

option in the C

ONFIGURATION dialog box.

The units displayed in this option's list are media-specific and will have a

different relationship to different media.

Select a positive unit to increase the file length and a negative unit to

decrease it. Each unit is approximately equal to 0.5mm or 0.02".

! To adjust the printed length of the image:

• In the C

ONFIGURATION dialog box, from the FINE ADJUST LENGTH drop-

down combo box, select the required unit of length.

Activating the Substrate Sensor

Checking this option will activate the Substrate sensor. When there is no

substrate present, you will receive a warning.

! To activate the Substrate sensor:

• In the C

ONFIGURATION dialog box, check the SUBSTRATE SENSOR option.

Activating the Run Collector

Checking this option will activate the COLLECTOR MOTOR during printing.
