The foil

Keep the foil cartridge in its sleeve and store it in a clean and protected
environment when it is not installed in the EDGE 2. Store the cartridge at
40 to 60 percent relative humidity in a temperature range of 40
(4

to 32

The foil in the cartridge can get dirty in two ways: in storage (where dust
is attracted to it because of static charges) and during use. You can clean
the cartridge before loading it by using a compressed air, ultra-filtered,
non-residue dust remover, such as Chemtronics® Ultrajet® 2000 or
equivalent. Quickly spray the spool ends and both sides of the foil in the
cartridge. Do not soak the foil
If the cartridge is in the EDGE 2, use FOIL SLEW to advance the foil
several inches so that the dirt buildup is rolled beyond the printhead and
onto the take-up spool.

Using the tensioner assembly

The tensioner assembly feeds the material into the EDGE 2 in a
controlled, orderly fashion by applying equal tension across the entire
width of the material.
1 Position the tensioner
assembly next to the
right (on/off switch)
side of the EDGE 2 as
shown in the
photograph.
2 Slide the roll of
material onto the roll
holder and position it
on the tensioner
assembly as shown at
right. Pull the end of
the material away
from the EDGE 2,
around the tension arm roller and back toward the EDGE 2 so the
material will enter the EDGE 2 with the vinyl surface facing up.
C). Do not store the foil cartridge in direct sunlight.

spray it just enough to blow the dust off.
