Using The Material Roller - Gerber SOLARA UV2 Owner's Manual

CHAPTER 4
Loading Inks and Materials

Using the material roller

When loading roll material onto a material roller, place the roll on a flat surface. Never load a
roll of material onto a roller standing on end as it can damage the material and the roller.
WARNING: Material rolls can be heavy. Maximum roll weight is 100 lbs./45.36 Kg.
Take care when lifting and loading the material rolls.
WARNING: Be careful not pinch your fingers in roll feed system when loading
rolls of material.
To load roll material onto the material roller
1 Loosen the white thumb screw and remove the adjustable core flange from the left end
of the material roller.
2 Lay the roll of material on a flat surface and insert the roller as shown. Insert the roller
until the material tube fits firmly against the fixed core flange of the roller.
Note: Make sure that the material is properly oriented when inserting the roller so that the
material enters the printer print side up. From the back of the printer, the adjustable flange will
be at the left end of the roll.
3 Insert the core flange onto the roller until it fits firmly against the material tube.
4 Tighten the white thumbscrew to hold the flange in place. Do not over-tighten the
thumbscrew.
5 Standing behind the printer, hold the material roll loaded on the roller with the
adjustable flange to the left.
6 Insert the fixed flange end of the roller into the right receiver. The roller has two metal
rings that position it correctly in the receiver.
