Print without winding

Introduction

If media can be transported well and is not too flexible, you can print without winding.

Before you begin

  • Check the media category of your media. Media categories that need a tension bar cannot be printed without winding.

  • Printing without winding is set in the media type configuration in the RIP software. For printing without winding you must select [no tension bar] under [Winding tension]. For more information, see Change the media settings.

  • The printer is ready to print.

Procedure

  1. On the operator panel tap on the [Output] icon.
  2. Tap on [Output configuration].
  3. Make sure [Wind the output] is set to [No].
    NOTE

    Make sure you set the output configuration in time, as you cannot change the configuration once the media has passed the clamp.

  4. Start a print job. The printer continues printing without winding.

What to do next

When you want to stop printing without winding you have to cut the media. For more information, see Cut the media, Cut the media (manual).
