Rigid media guidelines
Never use sheets of media that exceed the maximum published weight specification of
150 lb (68 kg).
For materials between 50–150 lb (22–68 kg), choose Heavy when selecting media weight
in the Media Wizard.
To reduce the risk of damage due to a head strike, do not print on media longer than the
tables are designed to support. Optional Extension Tables are available to support
longer media.
120 inches (305 cm)
Media tables should be leveled such that the tops of the table rollers are level and coplanar
to the flat surface of the media belt.
Ensure that the tables are latched securely to the printer to establish a proper grounding
path for any residual static build up on the media.
Print speed may need to be adjusted when using certain materials that deform when
subjected to sustained heat (e.g. polystyrene-face foam board). In these cases some
combination of a higher vacuum setting, faster print mode, higher-than-standard head
height and the addition of a printing delay (Media > Settings > View Print Mode > Change
Print Mode > Select Print Delay) may be required to achieve the best results.
