2.Put the piece of media on the top of the leading edge of the textile material to load.
3.Load the media as normal, see Load a roll into the printer (automatically) on page 19 for details.
4.The piece of media will pass through the printers media path with the textile media and emerge
from the other side.

5.The piece of media will rest on top of the loaded textile media and will fall to floor during the load
process, if this does not occur, simple remove it by hand. Continue to load the media as normal
and adjust the skew accordingly.
View information about the substrate
On the printers front panel, select the  icon, and then select View loaded substrate > View substrate
details.
The following information appears on the front panel:
●The roll status
●The substrate family that you have selected
●The width...

2.When the media is being unloaded, the front panel will display the amount remaining so that you
can note down for future reference.
3.Next time the media is loaded, you can enter in the remaining length, and the printer will again
track the media as it is used. If the media was never actually unloaded, for example if there was a
media jam and the media was unloaded and the printer was turned off and on, if you select Last
know Length the printer will apply the values from when the jam occurred (if the...

Download media presets
Each supported substrate type has its own characteristics. The printer changes the way it prints on each
different substrate type. The RIP requires a description of the requirements of each substrate type. This
description is called the “media preset”.
The media preset contains the ICC color profile, which describes the color characteristics of the
substrate. It also contains information about other characteristics (RIP and printer settings) and
requirements of the substrate that...

12.If you experience a substrate jam or noticed ink smears or substrate damage while printing, see
the Maintenance and troubleshooting guide.
13.Check (and correct if needed) the ink quantity in the printed plot; see 
Check the ink quantity of ink
on the substrate on page 45. The print may not be completely dry at this stage; this is normal
and not a problem.
14.After a little time, the print should be completely dry. If the ink smudges when touched, see the
Maintenance and troubleshooting guide.

NOTE:* Unlike other printmodes, 18 pass printmode is 1200 dpi x1200dpi input data resolution at
1bpp (1 bit per pixel). Therefore, to generate a 18pass media preset you should start either from another
existing 18pass or from scratch. In the same way, do not clone a 18pass media preset to generate a
preset with a print mode different from 18pass.

●Horizontal bands.
●Coalescence, grain.
Try reducing the amount of ink in your RIP software, then reprint the chart and check again.
Also consider the following tips.
●You might have chosen a media preset which uses excessive ink compared to the one your
substrate allows.
●Consult your RIP documentation to make sure you’re applying the right media preset.
●Consult your RIP documentation on how to lower the total ink limits of the media preset
