An air fan assembly includes a suction box including a wall having an open area distributed across the wall. The suction box is configured to contain an underpressure on an inner side of the wall, so as to cause a cut sheet to adhere to a perforated transport belt. An impingement unit is configured to expel air supplied thereto towards the perforated transport belt. An air fan is arranged to create and maintain the underpressure in the suction box and to supply the air to be expelled by the impingement unit via an air outlet of the suction box. A first valve is arranged upstream of the air fan for conditionally admitting an additional air flow into the suction box. An inkjet printer and a method of operating the air fan assembly include the air fan assembly.

There is disclosed a vacuum table (400) comprising a vacuum plate (402) separating a first vacuum chamber (406) from a substrate zone (60) for receiving a substrate (50). The vacuum plate has a plurality of suction holes (404) for conveying a gas flow from the substrate zone (60) to the first vacuum chamber (406). There is an evacuation port (422) in communication with a second vacuum chamber (420) to evacuate gas from the substrate zone (60) when a substrate (50) is received over the suction holes (404) of the vacuum plate (402), and a vacuum port (424) for discharging gas received in the second vacuum chamber (420) to a vacuum source. The first vacuum chamber (406) and the second vacuum chamber (420) are in fluid communication via a valve (430) so that gas flows from the first vacuum chamber (406) to the vacuum port (424) via the second vacuum chamber (420). The valve (430) is controllable to vary a gas flow rate through the vacuum plate (402) and thereby vary a retaining force on a substrate (50) received thereon.
