Choosing The Mode For Printing Jobs - Gerber EDGE FX Owner's Manual

Choosing the Mode for printing jobs

You can choose the Mode for printing jobs on the GERBER EDGE FX control panel. Depending
on the Mode chosen the printer behaves differently at the conclusion of a job. The Modes are:
♦ Single prints a job and the stops to allow the operator to change material. When Single
is chosen, the printer returns to the Offline status after printing. If other jobs are sent to
the printer, the operator must press Online again to receive the job.
♦ Cont. (Continuous) allows the GERBER EDGE FX to print one job after another
without pausing between jobs. At the end of the job the printer remains Online and
immediately prints the next job that is sent to the printer. When Continuous mode is
chosen, the printer does not instruct you to load the material after the initial job, if
subsequent jobs are to be printed on the same material. In addition, in Continuous
mode you do not have to press OK to continue printing after inserting the correct foil
in the printer. The GERBER EDGE FX confirms the foil type and length and
automatically begins printing that color.
Tip: When printing and cutting multiple jobs on the same material, print all the jobs first and
then cut them. This technique saves you time and material.
Tip: When printing multiple color jobs:
•
Wipe the material between colors with a dry lint-free cloth.
•
Clean the print head between colors if the job is longer than 10 feet (3 m).
