2. Select the printer configuration that you intend to use; the on-screen help will appear on the left.
NOTE: The Skip Substrate load check box should be checked only if the printer has just previously
had the same configuration (i.e. the same substrate, same profile), and because of a severe system
error, you had to restart the printer.
3. Load the substrate. Substrate loading instructions are displayed in the Internal Print Server window. For
more detailed instructions, see
Load a roll onto the spindle on page 33 and Load a roll into the printer
on page 35.
4. Select the substrate type.
5. Press the Finish button in the Internal Print Server to start the substrate check, then enter the substrate
type in the Loaded Substrate window.
TIP: If the printer has been idle overnight with substrate loaded, and exposed to high or low temperatures,
advance the substrate 13 to 25 cm (5 to 10 in) before printing, to avoid printhead crashes or ink smears on
the substrate.
The substrate edge holders
The purpose of the substrate edge holders is to prevent the substrate edges from lifting up and jamming
while printing. If you experience this kind of problem while printing, you can try using the edge holders to
overcome it.
The edge holders are highly recommended when printing on textile substrates.
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 61); 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.
