Using The Substrate Edge Holders With Rigid Substrates; How To Install Shims - HP Latex R Series User Manual

2 Using the substrate edge holders with rigid
substrates

How to install shims

Shims are provided with the substrate edge holders kit so that the edge holders can accommodate thicker rigid
substrates.
Before installing the shims, first decide on the height that the edge holders will need, depending on the thickness
of the substrate. There is a base to which shims are added to reach the required height. Use the table below to
decide which base and which shims you will need.
