Tip
Always follow the instruction given on the operator panel step by
step in the specified order. For example: in case of error handling,
operating the winder or performing maintenance actions.
You can safely perform actions on the drawer or the ink unit,
when the green light indicators on the drawer and near the ink
bottles are on.
You do not have to use excessive force on any of the handles or
levers of the Colorado 1630. You can easily push or pull the levers
and handles to perform actions on the printer.
Set [Automatic advance correction] to [normal] for printing modes
[High Quality], [Specialty], [Matte Quality], [Matte Specialty],
[Backlit] or [Backlit Density]. The printer then automatically reads
and optimizes the media step accuracy.
When you set [Automatic advance correction] to [enhanced], it
may improve the media step accuracy more but it also prints black
markers on the increased side margin of the media.
For textured media the system may ask to turn automatic advance
correction off.

When you want to control the media steps and optimize the print
quality you can:
• Perform manual or periodic maintenance with [Advanced auto-
matic nozzle optimization]. The printer automatically optimizes
the nozzles to improve media step accuracy.
• Print roll to roll (wind your media).
• Start with a white space ± 50 cm (19.7 inch), before you make
your first print on a roll.
• Print in [High quality ] print mode.
Make sure media is always rolled up evenly on the core. Do not
load media in the drawer that is not rolled up evenly (telescoping).
For more information, see
page 82.
The leading edge of the media roll loaded in the drawer must be
cut straight. Otherwise it is possible the printer does not detect the
leading edge or can print on the platen.
