Maintaining the Printer
Daily Maintenance
Removing the Chad
Chad is the waste (fogged paper) that is cut from the lead edge of the paper roll by
the knife and deposited in the chad area of the printer.
Open the sheet transport door and remove the chad from the chad area several
times each day to prevent paper jams and ensure the proper movement of paper
from the printer to the processor. Also, check the knife and remove any small
strips of chad.
IMPORTANT: The chad should also be removed from the chad area every time a
new roll of paper is loaded into the printer.
Calibrating the Printer
Calibrate the printer after every 8 to 10 hours of operation or when you change
paper emulsions.
NOTE: If the environmental temperature changes more than 5
o
Fahrenheit
(3
o
Celsius) since the printer was last calibrated, a calibration will be
necessary to maintain the image quality of the prints.
Follow the instructions for calibrating the printer. See “Calibrating the Printer” on
page 2-3.
