Powering the printer

The power switch is located on the left side of the printer. Ethernet connections are located
under the printer near the power switch.
When the power switch is turned on the Gerber CAT|UV will automatically initiate the
following procedures during the initial startup:
♦ Firmware starts up and internal diagnostics occur (the working icon displays). When the
Gerber CAT|UV is powered on the internal firmware starts up just like a computer. The
control panel screen displays the name of the printer and the firmware version that is
currently installed. The printer then proceeds with a series of internal diagnostics to test the
operation of various components including sensors, fans, ink system, lamps and network
connections. If there are any internal issues, a message displays after the startup sequence is
complete. See "Messages" on page 159.
♦ Carriage moves to the home position within the gantry.
♦ Gantry moves to the home position at the front of the printer.
♦ The firmware version displays.
♦ The Printer Ready message displays.
♦ The Clean Heads LED blinks as a reminder to run the Clan Heads procedure which pushes
ink through the nozzles to clear them.
NOTE: It is required that you leave the Gerber CAT|UV powered on at all times in order to
maintain ink vacuum. Do not turn the printer off, even for extended periods of down time. If
the printer will not be in user for longer than two weeks, you must follow the special
procedures described in "Shutting down the printer for more than two weeks" on page 100.

Sleep/Idle mode

After 10 minutes of idle time
When the Gerber CAT|UV is idle for 10 minutes it will automatically go into idle mode. When
in idle mode, the UV lamps, vacuum blowers, and roll-to-roll fans turn off and the gantry rises
