Pausing, Restarting, And Canceling Jobs; Pausing A Job Due To Data Starvation - Gerber SOLARA UV2 Owner's Manual

CHAPTER 5
Printing Jobs on the GERBER SOLARA UV2

Pausing, restarting, and canceling jobs

Pausing a job suspends it temporarily. You can pause a job by pressing F1, Pause-Job while the
job is running. The printer will stop at the next available break point. The slew keys are not
operational when a job is running or paused.
If you pause a job for more than 60 seconds, the lamps turn off and begin the three-minute cool-
down. When F1, Start-Job is pressed to resume printing, the lamps automatically begin the one-
minute warm-up sequence before proceeding. Each lamp on/off cycle reduces the usable lamp
life by three hours.
Note: Performing any of the following action while the printer is paused will terminate the job.
♦ Moving the material load lever and raising the pinch wheels
♦ Turning the material wheel and adjusting the beam height
♦ Pressing the CANCEL button.

Pausing a job due to data starvation

If job data is slow to arrive at the printer from the computer, the printer will move the carriage
to the home position temporarily. When sufficient data is received, printing will automatically
resume. If the data delay last more than 60 seconds, the lamps will turn off and begin their
three-minute cool-down cycle. Printing will not begin again until after the lamps cool down, re-
strike, and then warm up again.
Some causes of data starvation include: slow computer processing of data, busy network traffic,
slow network connection, and excessive processing on the computer during data transmission.
