Loading Vinyl Material - Gerber SOLARA UV2 Owner's Manual

CHAPTER 4
Loading Inks and Materials
3 Position the pinch wheels to the right or left of the area you plan to re-install the
shield.
4 Position the front and rear panels of the UV shield assembly so they are over the
notches in the carriage beam and tighten the center screw (5mm). When the screw is
fully tightened the shield assembly should move with relative ease across the beam.
5 Move all remaining pinch wheels that are right of the shield to the far right end of the
carriage beam so that they do not interfere with the shield when loading material.
Note: The UV shield assembly should not need to be calibrated if you are simply moving the
position as detailed in the above procedure. If the shield has been bumped or bent, contact
Gerber Service to verify the shield height is still calibrated correctly.
CAUTION: This is a critical operating component that requires very precise
calibration. If these components are not calibrated correctly, they could damage the
machine. Do not install parts that are bent or warped in any way.

Loading vinyl material

Vinyl material refers to rolled or sheet material. The rolled or
sheet material does not necessarily need to be made of vinyl
as long as is has been qualified for use with the GERBER
SOLARA UV2. When printing on vinyl material it is
recommended that you use the roll-to-roll configuration.
Loading vinyl material effectively involves the following steps:
♦ Loading roll material onto a material roller
♦ Loading roll material into the printer
♦ Loading and removing material from the winding unit
Note: The GERBER SOLARA UV2 does not detect sheet length. When loading sheet material,
you must verify that there is sufficient material for the completion of the job.
