3. Note the position of the end of the roll on the scale marked on both sides from the center of the spindle.
The input and output rolls should be positioned identically on their respective spindles.
TIP: The r
olls should be centered to reduce the risk of skew, wrinkles, and telescoping.
4. C
onnect the air gun to the pneumatic connector on the spindle, and inate the spindle so that it cannot
move inside the roll.
TIP: If the substrate is telescoped on the input roll, there is a risk of substrate jams and damage to the
printheads. Try to straighten the edges of the substrate to minimize telescoping on the input roll before
loading it into the printer.
TIP: Check th
at the substrate is attached to the input core.
The roll is now ready to be loaded into the printer.
TIP: If y
ou are a regular user of dierent substrate types, you can change rolls more quickly if you preload
rolls of dierent substrate types on dierent spindles. Extra spindles are available for purchase.
