Attaching lapel bar
The lapel bar is used to stabilize the media tension of the run-out side.
If the media tension of the roll-out side becomes unstable, printing is adversely affected (ver-
tical black or white lines occurs).
If the tension is too high, the media becomes susceptible to vertical wrinkles which may
cause black or white lines. If the tension is too low, wrinkles occurring at the rear portion of the
pinch roller and passing it make the gap between the media and head uneven, adversely
affecting printing.
Therefore, it is necessary to change the mount position of the lapel bar and perform printing
at an appropriate lapel position. Even with the same cloth type, media characteristics change
depending on the pre-treatment and the presence or absence of the gumming processing at
both ends of the cloth. Be sure to perform test printing to measure an appropriate lapel posi-
tion.
• Be sure to perform test printing, check the printing result, then determine
whether the lapel bar can be used or not.
• The characteristics of material of medium may be changed by pre-treatment.
If the pre-treatment is changed, be sure to perform test printing.
• Please reset the lapel bar properly if it’s shaky up and down.
• Please adjust the attachment of the side plate assembly if the lapel bar does
not rotates smoothly.
