How to Use the Vacuum Zones
Purpose
The vacuum system holds the media in place on the printer table. The zones are arranged to
accommodate common media dimensions. If a zone is activated, you must mask any part of it
that is not covered by the media.
NOTE
An active zone that is properly sealed will read 20" Hg or higher on the vacuum gauge. If the
vacuum gauge for an active zone reads below 10"Hg (34 kPa) and you have ensured that the area
is properly masked and taped off, you may have a leak in the vacuum system. However, keep in
mind that lower vacuum levels will be seen when the media is porous. Place a service call only
after you determine that the zone is correctly masked and the gauge reads consistently low.
Procedure
1.
Place media on the table at the desired location.
NOTE
To place media at the print Origin B (Origin A is the default) you need to set that up either in the
ONYX software or after the job is sent in the Print Job screen (this is explained in the next
section "How to Print with Dual Origin").
2.
Mask off any areas of the active vacuum zone(s) that will not be occupied by the media.
NOTE
The media can occupy more than one zone, but if a zone will be active, all of the area not
covered by the media must be masked so that all vacuum holes are covered.
If the Center Zone is not occupied by media it can be turned Off with the manual valve located at
the Zone 1 end of the printer.
3.
Activate the zones you wish to use either with the icon on the command bar of the Print Job
module or with the matched foot switch (A or B) on the floor.
4.
Start the print job either with the Start icon on the command bar or with the Print Start button
located near the vacuum gauges.
5.
De-activate the zones with either the icon or the foot switch once the image is printed.
6.
Remove the media.
