Turn on the machine and load the film according to below diagram:
Once the printer has printed enough transfers to cover the front prehea�ng
board and the media extends to the first of two vacuum cylinders, ensure that
the PET transfer media is aligned squarely from the printer through the
shaker to avoid any material skewing.
When the media is placed correctly to the first vacuum cylinder, the shaker
suc�on system should be in the on
posi�on. From this point the media will
now be controlled by both the vacuum and mesh belt system through the
hea�ng tunnel. It is important that when placing the media under the powder
hopper for the first �me that enough slack is provided to allow powder to fill
at the bo�om and then be shaken off as the media moves back up through
the belt system.
A�er finishing a print job, cut the last part of PET media and enter the print
linkage
mode. The film will then be automa�cally wound by the take-up to
complete the prin�ng process.
At the end of the day, transfer any remaining powder from the machine to a clean bin
with an air�ght lid. Powder le� in the hopper can regain moisture and create some maintenance
issues.
