Gerber EDGE FX - Running out of Foil During a Job

CHAPTER 5
Operating the GERBER EDGE FX
Running out of foil during a job
The GERBER EDGE FX intelligent foil cartridges record the type of foil and the length
remaining on the roll on the RFID tag. When you insert the foil cartridge in the GERBER EDGE
FX, it automatically compares the information on the foil RFID tag with the job requirements.
The printer displays a warning message if the foil roll is too short. If you choose to continue
printing with a roll that has an inadequate amount of foil you may run out of foil during
printing. If you run out of foil (or if the foil breaks) the printer pauses and displays the
Check Foil ! message. Replace the foil cartridge and press F1, RETRY. The printing resumes at the
point at which it paused. See “Pausing and restarting a job” for information on overlap settings.
Note: If you run out of foil during a job, print quality may degrade. Gerber recommends using
a roll of foil with an adequate amount to complete the job.
