CHAPTER 2
Getting to Know the GERBER MAXX 2
To load the material
1 Raise the material tray.
2 Move the material catching basket away from the front of the base.
3 Slide the right roll hub so that it is the same approximate distance from the left roll
hub as the material width.
4 Unroll some material, then put the roll of material on the left and right roll rests so that
the unrolled material is near the front of the base and the substrate or carrier side is
facing away from the base and toward you.
5 Put the left end of the material core tube on the left roll hub, then raise the right end of
the roll and slide the right roll hub into the right end of the material core tube. Use the
thumbscrew on the right roll hub to lock it into position.
6 Roll the material catching basket so that it locks in place in the basket clips in front of
the base.
7 Unroll several feet of material behind the vinyl flag and into the material catching
basket.
8 Turn on the printer. The message display is
initializing sequence is complete and the display is
VINYL on the control panel.
CAUTION: When performing the next step, be certain that the vinyl slides between
the magnet bars and on top of each bar's keeper plate. If the vinyl goes under the
keeper plate, it will get damaged. In order to keep the mag bars clean, make certain
that the leading edge of the vinyl is clean cut and that there is no residual adhesive.
9 Feed the material across the material tray, under the front vinyl squeegee, through the
two magnet bars, under the rear vinyl squeegee, and out of the back of the table. The
material should extend approximately 4" beyond the rear vinyl squeegee.
Tip: When sliding the material on the material tray, it may help to tilt the material slightly to
get one corner under the front vinyl squeegee and magnet bar as you push the material into
the printer.
10 Align the material with the alignment lines on the front material tray and on the back
of the table. Careful alignment of the vinyl at the front and back of the MAXX shortens
the automatic alignment sequence.
11 Press LOAD VINYL on the control panel to clamp the material with the vinyl
squeegees and magnet bars.
12 Lower the material tray.
