Loading Inks and Materials
4 Verify that the lamps are level with the platen. If the lamps are not level, then the
assembly is not resting correctly on the carriage. See following picture.
5 Move the carriage assembly back into the home area using the cable track.
6 Close the front cover. The carriage will automatically move to the home position.

Adjusting the UV shields

The GERBER SOLARA UV2 comes with two UV shields that are positioned on either end of the
platen to protect the internal elements of the printer from over exposure to UV light. They also
serve as material hold down devices for vinyl and other non-rigid materials. Proper positioning
of these devices is essential for proper printer performance and to help insure the longevity of
your print heads and UV lamps.
Positioning the UV shield varies depending on what type of material you have loaded.
You can use the following as a quick reference guide but refer to the instructions detailed in
each material loading section for more information.
