QS Series Basic Operator's Guide
Managing Media
Your QS Series printer is capable of printing on a wide
variety of media. As with any printer, there are some
extremes you should be aware of when choosing print media.
QS 2000 QS 3200
Maximum width 80.0” (203.2 cm) 126.0” (320.0 cm)
Maximum thickness 2.0” (5.0 cm) 2.0” (5.0 cm)
Maximum sheet weight 200.0 lbs. (90.7 kg) 200.0 lbs. (90.7 kg)
Maximum roll weight 170 lbs. (77.1 kg) 267.0 lbs. (121.1 kg)
(see note, below) 300.0 lbs. (136.1 kg)*
Maximum roll diameter 18.0” (45.7 cm) 18.0” (45.7 cm)
Note: The lower maximum QS 3200 roll weight number is for
a 54” (132.2 cm) roll, the higher maximum weight is for full-
width 126” (320 cm) roll. The wider roll can be heavier since
the greater weight is distributed over the full length of the
air core shaft.
Lifting hazard!
Rolls of media are heavy! Lift with care, get help
lifting, or use a mechanical lifter.
Media storage
You will need to allocate additional space for storing ink and
media materials for the printer. Both the ink and media
materials should be stored in a controlled environment, with
room temperature between 68° F and 85° F (20° C and 30° C)
and relative humidity between 30% and 80%. Keep the
storage area clean and dry at all times.
If rigid media is not flat, the jet packs may strike
the media and damage the jet heads.
Rigid sheet materials should be stored as flat as possible.
Even cement floors will introduce bumps into flat stock and
flatten areas of roll stock. Store flat stock on specially
constructed hardwood pallets or plywood. To store rolled
