Material preheating

The GERBER SOLARA UV2 has the option of performing a series preheating carriage passes
over the material with the lamps on before applying ink. When enabled the preheating

printed. This option is off by default but can be turned on using the following procedure.

* PREHEAT ENABLED * will appear at the bottom of the menu.

operator initiation when they are received (see "Printing multiple jobs" on page 81).
