DisplayMaker Gator Release Notes
Other Changes ◆ Larger takeup roll diameter supported — the takeup system now accepts media until
it reaches 7.5 inches (19 cm) in diameter.
◆ Vacuum fans may be turned off — the vacuum fans can be turned off completely (see
Printer Settings > Platen Vacuum Control). This allows printing on lightweight media
such as paper or textiles. Use this feature with caution; media feed errors and head
strikes could occur when the vacuum fans are turned off.
◆ Performance purge — you can now perform a 4-color purge and the AutoTune purge
with all four colors at once (“Standard Purge”) or one color at a time (“Performance
Purge”). The performance purge occurs at a higher pressure than the standard purge.
(Printer Settings > Air Purge Type)
◆ Left side gutter spits moved farther left — this reduces the tendency for ink dust to be
pulled over the media by the vacuum fans. Firing the ink jets into left gutter is neces-
sary to keep them firing properly.
Note
Unless you are printing with media that is wider than 72 inches, you can fur-
ther reduce this ink dust “overspray” by covering over the farthest column of
vacuum holes with a piece of black tape. This effect is most noticeable when
printing close to the edge of the media. Use black tape; white or light-colored
tape could prevent the printer from detecting the edge of the media.
◆ New Ready-for-Refill blinking pattern — when you perform the first part of the refill
process by refilling ink or replacing the profiler, the Ready-for-Refill LED blinks fast.
When you perform the second part of the process by replacing the profiler or refilling
the ink, the LED blinks slowly, then turns off after the ink counts have been updated.
◆ AutoJet pattern improved — this improves the detection of missing jets.
