1.8. LOADING MEDIA
The following procedures are mainly written for the use of roll media. When
using sheets, there are two possibilities. Firstly, when using long sheets, roll up
the sheet so that the alignment is identical to that of a roll. Secondly, when
using short sheets, the alignment is not so important. If the sheet is cut off
perpendicularly, it can be aligned to the front border.
1.8.1. POSITIONING THE PINCH ROLLERS
When working with cut sheet or roll media, the traction resulting from the
contact between the pinch rollers and the drive sleeves moves the media in
the direction of the X axis (forward/backward).
Proper movement of the media will only occur if the media is driven by the
pinch rollers correctly located over two drive sleeves.
The pinch rollers are lowered or raised simultaneously by means of the pinch
roller lever arm located on the right hand side of the cutter. The rollers must be
lifted to facilitate vinyl loading, during which the media is fed from the rear of
the cutter to the front.
When in the up position, the pinch rollers can be moved manually to the left or
the right along the pinch roller shaft, so that they can be easily positioned in a
detent (click position) where they are to be lowered to ensure optimum
traction on the media.
When the pinch rollers are in the up position, the origin LED will flash.
CAUTION
Always make sure that the pinch rollers are fully raised before sliding
them to the left or right.
The pinch rollers MUST be positioned correctly and lowered onto the media
before an automatic load sequence is initiated. Make sure that the two pinch
rollers are positioned above the drive sleeves. The left pinch roller should be
positioned in a detent (click position). The right pinch roller should be
positioned somewhere on the long drive sleeve that only has a click position at
the beginning and at the end of the sleeve. The drive drum will move the
media only when the pinch rollers are lowered onto the sleeves.
