The Table Vacuum System
Introduction
The printer uses vacuum to secure media to the printer table. The table is divided into multiple
vacuum zones. Manual valves are used to activate or shut down the vacuum zones. In order for
the system to work effectively, all the vacuum table holes must be covered.

Vacuum Zone Control Handles
The valve handles determine the state of the vacuum zones. When the handle is vertical, the zone
is open and has vacuum. To close a zone, turn the control handle a quarter turn clockwise to the
horizontal position.

Masking the Vacuum Table
If your media does not cover all of the vacuum zone, you must mask the area around the media
to eliminate vacuum loss. Use scrap media or material that is equal to or less than the thickness
of the media to mask the table. You can tell when the vacuum table is fully sealed when the
vacuum gauge reads 20"Hg.
