3. Attach the object to be printed on for the printing test.
- Check that the following screen is displayed.
- Open the front cover.IMPORTANT:
Be sure to hold the handle of the front cover and open and close it gently.
- Attach the spacer table to the LEF2-300D.
- Secure the paper for the printing test.Printing tests are used to check that no dot drop-out occurs. Use paper for testing (width 110 mm (4.33 in.) × length 70 mm (2.76 in.) or more), not the object that will actually be printed on.MEMO:
There are two types of printing tests. Select the type of printing test to match the paper to be used.
Type Features It is difficult to check the white ink if the paper for use in the printing test is white. We recommend printing on transparent paper. Because white ink is printed on a black undercoat, white ink can be easily checked even when printed on white paper. However, printing takes longer than "TEST PRINT." MEMO:Securing the media in place with the suction function (LEF2-300)
Press [PAUSE/VACUUM].
You can use this function to secure media such as thin paper in place on the flat table by way of the suction from the bottom of the flat table. However, if the ends of the object to be printed on are rolled up, if the object to be printed on is thick, and in similar situations, it may not be possible to secure the media in place. For objects to be printed on whose ends are rolled up, secure the ends of the object to be printed on with tape, and then use the suction function.
Point:If you want to further increase the suction force, use paper or something similar to cover the holes that are not suctioning the object.
Affixing the media with tape
Secure the media in place using a substance such as commercially available tape affixed directly to the flat table. If you do not want to use the suction function and for objects to be printed on that cannot be secured in place with the suction function, you can use this method to secure the object to be printed on in place. It can be set anywhere as long as it does not protrude from the top of the flat table. Be aware that folds or kinks in the paper might hit the interior of the printer and cause damage.
