Starting Output

WARNING

Never touch the print-head carriage while output is in progress.

The print-head carriage moves at high speed. Coming into contact with the moving carriage may cause injury.

Procedure
  1. Close the front cover.
  2. Check that [SETUP] is lit.
    If [SETUP] is not lit, the setup is not completed. Lower the loading lever, and then press [ENTER].

    ER-642_SETUP-LED-on

  3. Check that the screen shown below (the top menu) is displayed.
    If the top menu is not displayed, press [MENU].


  4. Send the output data from the computer.
    For information on how to create the output data, refer to the documentation for the software RIP.
    MEMO

    When you send the output data, "CLEANING..." may be displayed on the screen. These indicate the preparation operations performed before output. Output will begin after the time displayed on the screen elapses.

    IMPORTANT

    Output Is Not Possible in These Situations

    • The machine does not run when a cover (front, left, or right) is open.

    • Data from the computer is not accepted when [SETUP] is dark.

    • Printing does not start until [HEATER] lights. However, in the following cases printing is possible even if [HEATER] is not lit.
      • "PRINT HEATER" and "DRYER" are set to "OFF"
      • "POWER" in the heater settings is set to "OFF"
    • Data from the computer is not accepted when you are not at the top menu.

    Points that must be observed

    • Never open a cover (front, left, or right) while output is in progress. Doing so interrupts printing.

    • When you are performing printing, clamp the edges of the media with the media clamps. Otherwise, the edges of the media may warp and catch on the print heads.

    • During output, do not touch the media. Doing so may obstruct the media feed or cause the media to rub against the print heads, which may result in a paper jam or damage to the heads.

    • Keep the loading lever raised when the machine is not in use.

    When not using the machine, remove any media and store it in a suitable environment.

    • Keep the loading lever raised when the machine is not in use.

    • If the machine is left with the media loaded, the media may be damaged, which may adversely affect printing. When not using the machine, remove any media and store it in a suitable environment.
