Position the front roller slightly over the edge or place a collection bin underneath to catch finished insoles as they automatically eject.
-
Leave at least 20 cm of open clearance on both sides of the printer so operators can easily change spools and reach controls.

It's best practise to connect your design computer and Orion printer to the same local network subnet, so Stryde Print can locate the printer instantly. Alternatively, the printer can also be on different network from your laptop which is running Stryde Print.

-
Place the printer in a well-ventilated, shaded, and dust-free room.
-
Maintain a steady ambient room temperature between 20°C and 25°C (68°F to 77°F).
-
Keep room relative humidity between 30% and 50% RH.
-
Keep the printer away from open windows, direct air conditioner drafts, or exterior doors, as temperature swings can cause nylon parts to warp.
