Print on rigid media

Introduction

To print on rigid media, you must manually feed media. The printer uses the lane lights to indicate where and when you can load media.

NOTE

Before you place rigid media on the print belt, check that all protective film is removed from the side that you print on.

Before you begin

Before you load rigid media:

  • Check that the media width matches with the submitted print job.

  • Wear gloves to avoid pollution of the media by your fingerprints.

Place the media on the print belt.

The lane lights indicate where you can load media:

  • Continuous green light: you can load media.

  • Blinking green light: you have to push the media further into the printer.

  • Continuous white light: the media is in the correct place, but you cannot let go yet. The light turns off when you can let go of the media.

  • Blinking red light: the media is not placed correctly and you must reposition the media. Do not place the media too far into the printer.

NOTE

For media of irregular shapes, or transparent media, use the rulers on the sides of the tables to align the rigid media on the printbelt.

The printer prints and cures the print job.
