Loading Roll Material Into The Printer - Gerber SOLARA UV2 Owner's Manual

CHAPTER 4
Loading Inks and Materials

Loading roll material into the printer

When loading the roll material the UV shields will be positioned to both protect internal printer
elements from over exposure and act as material hold-down devices to keep the edges of the
material from curling or interfering with carriage motion. The following procedure applies to
both sheet and roll fed material.
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.
To load roll material into the printer
1 Open the front cover.
2 Verify that the UV lamps on either side of the carriage are in the LOW position.
See "Adjusting the UV lamp position" on page 44.
3 While standing in front of the printer, pull the material load lever out to raise the
pinch wheels. When standing in back of the printer, push the load lever in to raise the
pinch wheels.
4 Turn the dials on each pinch wheel clockwise a half turn until they lock into place.
This is the HIGH FORCE setting used for printing on vinyl material.
