11. If you are using them, place the three or four substrate edge holders into position and attach them at
the front.
TIP: When aligning the roll edges with the marks on the dual-roll spindle, the center edge holder (if
needed) is shared by both rolls. If you position the rolls differently, and you are using edge holders, take
into account the distance required for the edge holders.
12. Close the front door and the curing module.
13. If you are using them, attach the substrate edge holders at the rear.
14. Close the loading table.
15. Ensure that the spindle differentials are unlocked.
16. Use the Internal Print Server to lower the carriage beam to its printing position.
17. 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 fields yourself into the Internal
Print Server. Use the ruler on the spindle to check these values.
18. An alert about substrate-advance tracking may appear at this point. For more information on when you
might want to turn off automatic tracking, see
Substrate-advance compensation on page 106.
19. For more information on when you might want to change the carriage beam position, see
Substrate tips
on page 26.
The printer is now ready to print.
