Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Do I have to physically unload the paper roll to print single pages or specification sheets?
  No. The T5170 chassis features an automated multi-media feeding system. You can load a standard 36-inch technical paper roll while keeping the automatic cut-sheet tray filled with up to 50 sheets of smaller paper. The printer automatically senses the job dimensions and switches paper paths internally without manual intervention.
• What unique advantages does the UltraChrome XD2 ink chemistry provide over older formulations?
  The next-generation UltraChrome XD2 all-pigment ink system provides exceptional archival resilience. Final construction site blueprints, CAD map drawings, and presentation layouts boast high resistance to rain moisture smudging, oil fingerprints, scratching, and fade breakdown under harsh field environments.
• Can this printer sit directly on a tabletop workspace desk instead of the floor stand?
  Yes. The printer core base is engineered with a modular, sleek desktop architecture. If floor space is at a premium, the printer can be safely decoupled from the included stand frame and placed flat onto a heavy-duty counter, shelf unit, or desk workspace surface.
