Loading Material
Load the material so the left and right margins from the edges of the material to the pinch rollers are uniform. Load the material so the pinch roller (W) is within the range (Y) of the grit pattern (X).
Depending on the width of the material to load, the left and right margins may not be uniform, and the margin on the right edge of the material may be larger than the margin on the left edge.
| Z: Usage position of left pinch roller | (1): Usage range of left pinch roller Move the left pinch roller when loading material whose width differs from those indicated with A to D. |
(2): Right pinch roller usage range with A material loaded | (3): Right pinch roller usage range with B material loaded | (4): Right pinch roller usage range with C material loaded | (5): Right pinch roller usage range with D material loaded | A: Material with a width of approximately 150 mm (5.91 in.) | B: Material with a width of approximately 306 mm (12.05 in.) | C: Material with a width of approximately 457 mm (17.99 in.) | D: Material with a width of approximately 610 mm (24.02 in.) |
When loading material other than those described above, change the position of the left pinch roller to match the width of the material.
This example uses flat, A4-size material.
If using roll material or other material, load the material by referring to "Setting Up Roll Material" in the user's manual.
If the condition of the material is as described below, stretch or flatten it before use.
- The material is curled upward.
- The leading edge of the material is bent or creased.
-
Lower the loading lever.MEMO
Do not use excessive force when moving the loading lever.
Doing so may damage it.
-
Load the material.With the short edge of the material toward the front, pass the material through the front of the machine.
-
Set the material in the position shown in the figure below.The position differs according to the size of the material to be loaded.
For details, refer to "Loading Position of Material."
-
Move the pinch rollers to the edges of the material so that each one is within the grit patterns.
Load the material so the left and right margins (1) from the edges of the material to the pinch rollers are uniform.MEMOThe pinch rollers must not extend beyond the grit patterns.
-
Align the left edge of the material so that it lies approximately parallel to the guide lines.View from above the Machine
-
Raise the loading lever.The material is secured in place.
