5 MEDIA Pressing MEDIA will change the media selection
between ROLL media and CUT SHEET media.
Always make sure to select the correct media type,
prior to loading media.
6 VACUUM Pressing VACUUM will reduce the fan power.
Always make sure to reduce the fan power when
using very light media such as synthetic paper or
uncoated paper lighter than 70 g/m².
5.2.2. Media Selection
When working with cut-sheet media, the printer exactly measures the cut-sheet
dimensions prior to plotting. This is why you need to indicate manually if a cut-sheet or
roll is being used.
Just before loading the media, press the Media - key.
If roll media is used, the roll media LED should be ON and if a cut sheet is used, the cut sheet LED should
be ON.
Cut sheet
Roll Media
Important:
If you install a roll media while the key panel indication is on cut sheet, the media
feed is proceeded to search the end of the loaded media. Therefore always make
sure that you set the correct media type on your printer operation panel.
Note:
Depending on the media type used, ink drying time differs.
The Rockhopper 38 factory default value for the ink drying time amounts to 30 seconds.
The drying time cycle is activated as soon as the printer has finalised the plot.
