16. Ensure that the spindle diîž«erentials are unlocked.
17. Use the Internal Print Server to lower the carriage beam to its printing position.
18. Go to the Internal Print Server and press the Finish button. The printer rotates the rolls to check their
diameters, and it also checks the width of the roll, the winding direction, the vacuum, and the substrate
advance calibration (this takes about a minute).
NOTE: Some substrates (such as transparent substrates) cannot be measured by the printer in this
way. In such cases, you will be asked to enter the Left Edge and Width îželds yourself into the Internal
Print Server. Use the ruler on the spindle to check these values.
19. An alert about substrate-advance tracking may appear at this point. For more information on when you
might want to turn oîž« automatic tracking, see Substrate-advance compensation on page 146.
20. For more information on when you might want to change the carriage beam position, see Substrate tips
on page 29.
The printer is now ready to print.
Load a roll (roll-to-free-fall conguration)
The substrate roll is mounted on the input spindle; the printed substrate will be deposited on the oor in front
of the printer. The substrate goes from the input spindle (1) over the main roller (3), over the platen, over the
front diverters (5) and then to the tension roller (7), after which it continues to the oor.
