◦
Vacuum Fan Level — Adjusts the amount of vacuum at the media drive belt. Observe the media as
the fan speed changes. If the media is lifting off the belt, increase the fan speed. If the media
advance seems impeded by the vacuum, decrease the fan speed.
◦
Feed Method — Roll-fed (with optional supply and takeup system installed) or Cut Sheet.
◦
Weight — Sets the media belt drive motor and media advance amount to handle Light (up to 22
kg (50 lb)) or Heavy (22–113 kg (50–250 lb)) media.
CAUTION: The input and output tables are rated at a maximum load of 68.0 kg (150 lb). Do not
exceed this maximum load.

Misc Settings
●
Use Rollers — Sets whether the Input and Output media rollers are used (Yes) or not used
(No) with the Flat Media setting (see Load rigid media on page 14). When set to Yes, the
rollers will move up or down as needed to be just above the surface of the media. When set
to No, the rollers will move to their highest point and remain there.
●
Detectable to Printer — If Yes, the media sensor and image sensor will be used. If No, the
media sensor and image sensor will not be used (with clear films, for example).
●
Conductive — Sets whether the ionizer bar is used.
●

●
Select UV Lamp Power — A high lamp power setting increases ink curing power, important at
high speeds and for older lamps that are losing their intensity; a low setting for newer lamps
extends their life.
Closing the shutter on the trailing lamp blocks the UV light from the lamp, which allows the
drop of jetted ink to spread out more before it is cured, resulting in a glossier look to the
print. The color profile used must take this into account for accurate color matching.
●
Select Print Delay — A longer printing delay helps dissipate heat from heat-sensitive
substrates, while a shorter delay speeds printing throughput.
