TIP: While a print job is being received by the printer and saved to its internal hard disk (a process called
“spooling,”) you can switch the UV lamps on or off as desired, rather than wait for the entire job to be
spooled.
Position and eject options
The sheet-fed printing option Position/Eject, on the Printer Options menu, enables you to control how
images are positioned and whether the automatic sheet eject feature is enabled. By selecting Auto Eject Off,
you can save media by combining print jobs that are smaller than the sheet size onto the same sheet, instead
of on separate sheets. In this mode, you can print the jobs one after the other, or “nest” them across the
width of the media in rows. Position/Eject is available when the printer is configured for sheet-fed media.
●
Position options — For print jobs with a width that is less than the width of the media, you can control
where the image is positioned (flush left, flush right, centered, or nested).
●
Eject options — For sheet fed jobs, you can control whether the media is ejected after each job to the
output side, input side, or not automatically ejected (Auto Eject Off).
●
Nested output — When you set Eject to Auto Eject Off, and Position to Nested, the print jobs are nested
onto the media until all jobs are printed or there is no more room on the sheet.

Printing tips
CAUTION:
Synthetic media commonly used for inkjet printing can build up a static charge, especially in
environments with low relative humidity. This charge can pose an electrostatic discharge (ESD) hazard to
persons, the printer, and other equipment. It can be safely discharged by draping a grounded chain or tinsel
over the top of the media, or by wiping the media with a solution of 90% isopropyl alcohol and allowing it to
dry for five minutes before printing. A relative humidity of 40%-60% will greatly reduce problems with static
electricity.
