!

!

Setting Up the Job
Setting up the job involves turning on the equipment, opening the print
file, and sending the job to the GERBER EDGE. When you send the
job, the keypad display may show "WARMING UP." The printhead
automatically warms to a temperature of 77 degrees F (25 degrees C).
Depending upon the room temperature, the warmup time may be instant
to approximately 2 minutes.
Step 2 below is necessary for each new job if you have not selected a 15-
inch plotter and the GERBER EDGE as preferences in the Plotter
Select dialog box. Be certain that you select the plotter you plan to cut
on prior to printing. If you change plotter selection after printing,
cutting registration may be degraded. If you open a file which was
previously printed and cut, the past parameters and plotter and printer
selections are automatically loaded with the file. In that case, step 2 is
not necessary.
