1) Main Power Switch Turns the printer On and Off.
2) Emergency Stops Emergency stop buttons can shut down all motion and hazardous
systems. There are three E-stops, one on the Operator Control Sta-
tion, and one on each end of the gantry.
3) Carriage Guard Protects the operator from exposure to UV light and stops all mo-
tion if dislodged by an obstacle.
4) Registration Pins Allow the operator to register media by placing it against the pins.
Registration pin operation can be set at the user interface to work
in either manual or automated mode. Pins can be enabled or disa-
bled individually.
5) Printer Status Beacon Indicates printer status. See Chapter 3 for details.
6) UV Lamps UV light is used to cure the ink.

than 10"Hg, check for vacuum leaks.
