How to Print on Roll Media

Introduction
If media is loaded and the Roll Media unit has been initialized, the printer is ready to
print an image. Use the Print Job module and the Roll Media Manager to prepare and
start the print.
Note:
All Roll media operations that involve media movement are disabled while a Flatbed
job prints.
Media Edge Detection
This feature is available in printer software version 2.6 or greater. When roll media is
loaded and the Initialize button is clicked in the Roll Media Manager, a sensor in the
carriage will try to detect the edges of the media. If the detection succeeds, then the media
center is calculated and appropriate correction is applied to center the image. However,
if edge detection fails then the error "Media edge detection failed" appears in the Media
manager status bar after "Ready". If detection fails, the media center is considered to be
the center of the roll platen.
Note:
Even if detection fails, the job will still print. Therefore do not print the job unless you
are sure the media is centered and wide enough to fit the image. Edge detection may
fail with transparent media or media that is close in tone to the platen (dark grey). If
you see consistent fail messages when you use plain white media, it is possible that your
edge detector is not working. In that case, you must place a call to your service represen-
tative.
How to Print on Backlit Media
If your roll media is transparent or opaque and you are going to backlight the image and
you want to increase the density, set Quality mode in ProductionHouse. Then click on
the Quality parameter in the Print Job menu and select Quality-Density before you ini-
tialize the job. This mode increases the density of ink for this image as it prints and
therefore improves the appearance of backlit images.
Before you begin
Media must be loaded and initialized as explained in the section "How to Load Roll
Media".
