◆ Follow the guidelines in this chapter for printing on rigid
media.
◆ The media should have parallel opposite edges with 90-
degree corners. Media that is not exactly square with itself
can be used, but will require extra attention when loading
(see "Loading and Squaring the Media," below).
◆ To print to the trailing edge, attach a 6.5 inch (16.5 cm) or
longer trailer of the same media to the trailing edge, so the
pinch rollers can feed the media all the way past the print
zone.

◆ Tape the platen under the left and right edges of the media
to catch any oversprayed ink. Use a colored tape to allow the
printer to find the media edges. A piece of media printed
with a solid color also works for this purpose. Do not use
white tape or media; the printer uses the contrast between
the media and the platen to find the media edges.
◆ Use the supplied head height gauge to set the printhead
height over the media.
◆ From Menu > Printer Settings > Margin Settings, set the
Right and Left Margin, and Leading Margin to 0 as desired.
Set the Trailing Margin to 6.5 inches (which is the mini-
mum).
◆ Optionally, you can set an Overprint distance between 0 and
0.5 inches to print past the left and right edges (0.125 inches
to 0.25 inches is usually sufficient if the media is reasonably
square and unskewed).
◆ From Menu > Printer Settings > Print Position, center the
image on the media.
◆ When loading the media, report the length as the total
length of the media plus trailer.
