The shipping box and any other items, used for packaging, must be saved in the event the printer will need to be moved. Do not transport the DC4 without completely repackaging it in the original packaging. For safety reasons, the unpacking of a DC4 must be done with at least 2 persons. - Page 10 Slide the ramp under the stand, closest to the end with the foam suspension blocks. From this point on, two people ARE REQUIRED for safety reasons. Lift the DC4 from each side, just high enough so the foam blocks can be pulled out from underneath the DC4.

Page 22: Media Handeling
1.6 MEDIA HANDELING 1.6.1 LOADING MEDIA The DC4 is designed to work with rolls of media, not sheets. It is advised to use cotton gloves while loading the media, otherwise the surface of the media becomes contaminated by oil from fingers, and the beginning of the printout will be unusable. - Page 23 User’s Manual Place the media roll on the DC4 rollers. The right core holder guide is at a fixed position on the supply rollers bar. The left guide is adjustable. Make sure the media roll is positioned as in figure 1-8. Guide the beginning of the vinyl around the second supply roll (1).
- Page 24 After closing the front cover, the DC4 will measure the media width. If the media width has changed, then the printer will prompt the user to check if the right pinch roller is set correct.

Page 73: Screening Tab
Do not confuse this term ‘dots per mm’ (dpmm or dpi). Dpmm is the resolution of the printer. The head of a DC4 has a fixed resolution of 12 dpmm (304 dpi). The number of shades depends on the relation between dpmm and lpmm (lpi and dpi). - Page 74 User’s Manual 4. Angle: To get various shades to reproduce an image, the RIP uses a process called screening. Screening breaks an image down into series of dots. Each screen is set to a certain angle. Thus creating intersecting rows that form a pattern as dot shapes, know as rosettes.
- Page 75 Ellipse is the recommended default shape. Rhomboid, Double Dot and other shapes are can be chosen for special effects, but are not generally recommended. Summa cannot guarantee print quality using any shape other than Ellipse. Tips: For difficult colors, use Rhomboid 0.8 to 1.1 lines /mm (20 to 30 lines/inch)

Page 76: Layout Tab
There is also the option to print out each tile separately. If the weed box option is chosen, then the DC4 cuts a border around the print out.. If there is print and cut information, in the file, then SCC will automatically cut a border around the design. -

6 OPOS 6.1 INTRODUCTION The DC4 has an accurate Optical Positioning System. This can be used when it is impossible to contour-cut right after the printing. For instance when the design has to be laminated and then cut afterwards. OPOS is based on the principle of registrating black or cyan printed squares around the design. - Page 88 Make sure that the origin marker is situated at the right side and above all contours that need to be cut. • Remember the marker size, its value will have to send in a later step of the procedure to the DC4. OPOS...
- Page 89 The exact distance is the distance from the lower left corner of one marker to the lower left corner of the marker just underneath • Remember the Y-distance, this value will have to be sent to the DC4 in a later stadium. 5. Print the design.
- Page 90 User’s Manual • Print the markers and the design on the DC4. Make sure not to scale the design any more. • When printing make sure not to rotate the design any more and leave at least 30cm after the design.
-
Page 91: Setting The Parameters And Loading To Cut
Look for ‘LOAD OPOS MARKERS’ in the cutter menu and press ’ENTER’. • The DC4 will prompt the user to put the knife tip above the first marker. If all previous steps were followed, then this means that the first marker is in the lower left corner of the design that was just loaded in the DC4. -
Page 92: Cutting The Contour
WinPlot also send the OPOS parameters automatically to the DC4. Just click on the OPOS cut icon and the parameters will be send to the DC4 and the special load will be activated (the machine will ask the user to put the knife tip above the first OPOS marker.
