Operations

Once the printer has printed enough transfers and the media has been fed into the front film loading slot and extends to the vacuum cylinders (pg.5-6) ensure that the PET transfer media is aligned correctly to inhibit any skew that may be present through the heating tunnel and take-up reel.
When the media is placed correctly to the vacuum cylinder the shaker suction system should be in the on or auto position. From this point the media will now be controlled by both the vacuum system and mesh belt through the heating tunnel (pg. 5). It is important to note that when placing the media under the powder hopper for the first time that enough slack is provided to allow powder to fill at the bottom powder scale to 170g and then be shaken off as the the media moves back up through the system. In addition, the media should also have enough slack to allow the front sensor to locate the material which then directs the system to pull the film through to the take-up reel.
After finishing the current print job, cut the last part of PET film. The film will then be automatically wound by the take-up to complete the printing process.
Recycling the hot melt powder is accomplished simply by brushing the powder from the interior walls into the recycled powder tray (pg.6) and refilling it into the powder box.
