Loading Rigid Material; Using The Material Tables - Gerber SOLARA UV2 Owner's Manual

CHAPTER 4
Loading Inks and Materials

Loading rigid material

When printing on rigid or flat material it is recommended
that you use the rigid configuration, which makes use of
front and rear material tables that can be easily setup and
attached to the printer. These components are collapsible
for easy storage and relocation when not in use. Loading
rigid substrates effectively involves the following steps:
♦ Setting up the material tables
♦ Calibrating the material guide
♦ Loading rigid material into the printer
Note: The GERBER SOLARA UV2 does not detect sheet length. When loading sheet material,
you must use a sufficient length of material for the job.

Using the material tables

Rigid or flat materials need to be level with the platen when entering and exiting the printer.
The GERBER SOLARA UV2 comes with two material tables to provide a level work surface for
delivering material and receiving printed output. Both tables are identical however the rear
table comes with a material guide on the right side for alignment when loading the printer.
WARNING: Due to the size and weight of the material tables, two people are
required to move them into position.
To set up the material tables
1 Make sure there is enough space in front of and in back of the GERBER SOLARA UV2
to place the material tables once they are upright.
Note: With the material tables attached, the total length of the printer becomes approximately
15 feet. It is recommended that you allow an additional 3 feet (1m) around the perimeter of the
machine for loading and receiving material.
2 Collapse the legs of the tables by pressing the button on the leg locking bracket.
