How to Create Custom Vacuum Zones

Introduction
A fabricated aluminum overlay sheet placed on the surface of the printer table is used
to create a vacuum field that is divided into zones. When the printer is installed, three
vacuum zones are available. These default zones are either in Metric or Imperial
dimensions according to operator preference. Vacuum zones may be re-configured
in the field to meet specific customer requirements for media sizes. This section
describes the procedure to re-configure the vacuum overlay sheet to use custom
zones.
Purpose
The vacuum system holds the media in place. The three default zones are arranged
to accommodate common media dimensions. Zones can be turned off or on
according to where media is placed.
When to do
If the default zones on your printer do not match with media sizes that you use
frequently, it is possible to change the layout of the zones to suit your particular
purpose. This helps to minimize the use of tape and placement of media that will not
be printed on when the media size does not match exactly with the zone size.
Required tool
foam tape (part # 3010044085 is supplied in the Accessory Kit)
Note: Make sure you clean the area with isopropyl alcohol before you apply foam
tape to create a new zone.
