29Chapter 2 Operation

The Power-saving Feature

This machine is provided with a power-saving feature that switches to a low-power "sleep mode" when a fixed intervalpasses with no operation. The factory default for the time after which the machine switches to the sleep mode is 30minutes.You can change the setting for the time of the shift to the sleep mode. You can also switch off the power-saving feature.

☞ p 86 "Setting the Interval until Activation of the Sleep Mode," p 86 "Deactivating the Sleep Mode"

When the machine is in the sleep mode, the POWER light flashes slowly. Using the control panel or performingoperations such as sending printing data from the computer (when media is loaded) restore the machine to its normalmode.To reduce power consumption, we recommend leaving the power-saving feature on and setting the activation time forthe sleep mode to 30 minutes or less.

4-4 Optimizing Printing to Match Media Thickness

Adjusting Head Height to Match Media Thickness

Procedure


➋ Press .

➌ Move the lever to adjust the height of the head.

➍ Press to enable the setting.


Description

Depending on the media, media may wrinkle or come loose from the platen during printing, increasing the chance ofcontact with the print heads. When you are using such media, adjust the head height to "HIGH."Note that the height of the heads cannot be determined by just the thickness of the media.When the height is set to "LOW," the media clamps cannot be used. Except in special cases, the "LOW" setting shouldnever be used. Doing so may cause the heads to strike the clamps and become damaged.

Description

The bidirectional-printing mode (in which the heads perform printing during both their outbound pass and return pass)offers the advantage of being fast, but subtle misalignment occurs between the outbound and return passes. Theprocedure to correct this and eliminate misalignment is bidirectional correction. This misalignment varies accordingto the head height and the thickness of the media, so we recommend performing correction to match the media you'reusing.

Description

The movement transfer of media experiences subtle changes due to the thickness of the media. When the movementdistance becomes discrepant, horizontal stripes are more likely to occur during printing. We recommend performingcorrection to match the media you're using. Repeat the process of printing a test pattern and entering a correctionvalue a number of times to find the optimize value.Printing this test pattern using parameters identical to those for actual printing. Also, using material such as mediascraps that have passed through the printer may not yield correct results.Note, however, that you can also make this setting on the computer (by, for example, choosing the media type in theRIP program you are using). Use this feature when you want to make the setting on the printer, without changing anysettings on the computer.

Do the print heads contact the media?The height of the print heads may be too low. Also, if themedia is not loaded and set up correctly, it may wrinkle orcome loose and strike the heads.☞ p 105 "Media Wrinkles or Shrinks, or Feed Is Unstable"

☞ p 72 "Adjusting Head Height to Match Media Thickness"

5-2 Attractive Printing Is Impossible


Are the print heads dirty?The following may cause ink to drip on the media duringprinting.• Buildup of fibrous dust (lint) around the heads• Ink transferred to the heads due to rubbing against themedia.If this happens, clean the heads using the cleaning kit. Werecommend carrying out periodic head cleaning.☞ p 56 "Cleaning the Heads Using the Cleaning Kit"

Are the pinch rollers dirty?Periodically clean the pinch rollers.


The Media Jams

The Media Is Not Straight

Is the width of the media 710 millimeters or more?Media cannot be rerolled straight when its width is lessthan 710 millimeters. Use media measuring 710 millime-ters or more.


5-5 Media Wrinkles or Shrinks, or Feed Is Unstable

A variety of problems can occur if the media feed is notsmooth. This can cause such problems as poor printingquality, contact with the media by the print heads, mis-aligned positioning, media jams, or poor take-up. Take ac-tion as follows.

Media Wrinkles or Shrinks

Is the media loaded and set up straight and securely?Feed is not smooth when the media is not straight ortensioned unevenly on the left and right. Reload the media.

Is the roll media sagging?Sagging of the roll can cause wrinkling or warping. Whenloading media, install the reinforcement pipe. Also, whenstoring media, place it so that it will not sag under its ownweight.

The Media Is Not Straight

Is the media loaded and set up straight and securely?Feed is not smooth when the media is not straight ortensioned unevenly on the left and right. Reload the media.

Media Feed Is Not Smooth

Do the media or the media flanges strike some otherobject?Make sure the media and the dancer rollers do not touchanything else. This may affect printing, even when feed ap-pears to be smooth.

Is the media too thick?Media that is too thick may not only cause unstable feed,but may scrape the print heads, resulting in malfunction.Never use such media.

Are the grit rollers dirty?Check to make sure the grit rollers are free of buildup offoreign material such as media scraps.


5-6 The Print Heads Stopped Moving

If the print-head carriage stops over the platen, take ac-tion immediately to prevent the heads from drying out.

What to Do First

Switch the sub power off, then back on again. (If the mediais jammed, then also remove the media.) If the heads moveto the standby position (inside the side cover), it means theoperation has ended successfully.If the heads did not move, try switching off the main power,then again switching on the main power, followed by thesub power.

If the Heads Still Do Not Move

If the heads still do not move, carry out the following emer-gency response measure, then contact your authorizedRoland DG Corp. dealer or Roland DG Corp. service cen-ter.

1. Switch off the main power and detach the side cover(right).2. Open the front cover.3. Gently move the print heads by hand as far as the standbyposition.

4. Insert the oval end of the pipe included with the ma-chine into the hole at the bottom of the machine and turngently. The cap-unit rises.

5. Make the guides at the edges of the print heads line upwith the print heads at the edges of the cap unit. Turn thepipe further to bring the heads near the cap unit.

6. When the heads make contact with the cap-unit, turnthe pipe one or two more turns.

Make sure the print heads are capped tightly.
