the chosen Mode. If the current mode is Single the printer returns to its Offline status.

the next job that is sent to the printer as long as the material is the same as the previous
job.
9 When all jobs are complete, slew the material out of the printer toward the roll using
the Right slew key.

Loading material into the GERBER EDGE FX

You can load material in the GERBER EDGE FX before or after the job is sent. This procedure
demonstrates loading the material after the job is sent and assumes that you have the correct
material available.
Tip: For ease of loading the material, you can "Home" the printer. There are two menus that
have the HOME command. The following procedure uses the MATERIAL MENU. You can also
access HOME from the MAIN MENU. Press F2, SYSTEM > MOTION > HOME to rotate the
three closely-spaced sprocket pins to the up position. Alternately you can use the control
panel slew keys to position the sprockets before loading the material.
