5 PREPARATIONS BEFORE PRINTING

5.1 USING MEDIA

5.1.1 Media type

The type and quality of the media effects the printing results. Understand the description below and use the appropriate media for your purpose.

Notes

• For more information about the recommended media, contact your local MUTOH dealer.

• Problems that occur due to use of non-recommended media are not guaranteed.

Notes

• When using the recommended media, the setting values for the printing quality are set for each media

type.

• When printing on media other than those specified, information regarding proper settings for the

media type and settings for the product can be found on the instructions for the media, or contact the retailer of the media.

5.1.2 Cautions on handling media

• Use the recommended media in an appropriate environment.

Be sure to read and understand the safety warnings before handling the printer.

Following are the temperature and humidity ranges appropriate for printing.

• Do not use any of the following media.

o Media with crease, scar, tear, twist or media which tends to curl o Welded media

• The size of the recommended media can change at a fixed ratio according to the temperature changes of

the working environment. Before using the media, place the media in the working environment for at least 30 minutes, to have it match the temperature of the working area.

• Printing before media is adjusted to the printing environment may cause media jams due to slippage or

creases. This also adversely affects the quality of printing.

• Media has a printable side and a non-printable side. If you print on a non printable side, blurring or slight

touching may occur.

• Do not touch the printable side of media. Moisture and/or oil from hands affect(s) the printing quality.

• Do not leave the printer for a long time with media loaded. The media may curl resulting in misalignment of

media, media jams, or decreased printing quality. In practice, avoid this in winter, dry seasons, or during final printing.

• Do not lose the box or rapping bag for storing media.

Operations Instruction Osprey 75/102/130

AP-75720, Rev. 2.0 70

5.3 SET THE CORRECT DISTANCE ADJUST (STEP)

Be sure to read and understand the safety warnings before handling the printer.

Obtaining constant printing quality on an Osprey is not only determined by the working environment, the RIP, the profiles, the inks and the media which are used. One of the key factors for obtaining constant output quality is the correct distance adjustment, also called step.

5.3.1 Basics about the step

Every image is printed in several print passes. After every pass, the media is fed an amount of millimetres. When the step is not set correctly the passes will overlap each other or will not be printed precisely next to each other which results in white bands between two print passes.

Therefore a function, distance adjust (or step), is added to the menu to control this feed operation.

Refer to the table below for visual support.

The passes overlap each other ►Step between the print passes is too small

The passes are printed too far from each other ►Step between the print passes is too large

Procedure:

Notes

• It is recommended to start printing with a step of 100.00% and to adjust it afterwards. Once a step is

set for a particular media it will not change on following conditions:

o The step is only applicable on the printer in question and not interchangeable. o The media manufacturer does not change any specifications of the media.

Step 1: Go to the ‘Media feed compensation’ menu on the operation panel by following "Menu setup on the

operation panel". See image below.

• The ‘Media feed compensation’ menu is named ‘DistAdj.’ menu on the operation panel.

• Refer to: “Printing by Media feed compensation menu” for more details about all the functions in the ‘Media

feed compensation’ menu.

Operations Instruction Osprey 75/102/130

71 AP-75720, Rev. 2.0 - 28/11/2007

Step 2: Push the [F1] key on the operation panel to perform printing by media feed compensation.

Step 3: When printing with media feed compensation has been finished, push the [CANCEL] key on the

operation panel.

Step 4: Press the [F2] key of the control panel to change the media feed value.

Step 5: Push the [F2] key or [F4] key on the operation panel to increase (+) or decrease (-) the media feed

value, using the print result, examples shown below.

No adjustment needed Decrease media feed (-) Increase media feed (+)

Step 6: Push the [ENTER] key on the operation panel to save the adjusted value.

• After setting, shift to the previous upper menu.

Step 7: Repeat Step 2 to Step 7 until a good print result has been obtained.
