The edge holders are highly recommended when printing on textile substrates. When printing on porous
substrates, use the edge holders included in the ink collector kit (see The ink collector kit on page 36).
NOTE: The edge holders are not recommended when printing on substrate that is more than 0.4 mm (0.016
in) thick.
TIP: The edge holders may be easier to deploy if you raise the carriage beam (see Set the carriage beam
position on page 90); however, they can be deployed without raising the carriage beam.
The correct position is illustrated below. The substrate should be free to move, and should not touch the ends
of the edge holder.
CAUTION: Wrongly positioned edge holders could severely damage the printheads and carriage.
NOTE: If the substrate is loaded with the right edge outside the 161 cm position on the spindle ruler, or the
left edge outside the −162 cm position, the edge holders cannot be used because there is not enough space
for them.
Install an edge holder
To install an edge holder, stand at the front of the printer and attach the front of the edge holder (marked
with the number 1 on the blue part) to the front of the platen. Ensure that the substrate is aligned with the
marks on the edge holder.
