Printer tab
- Enable bigTIFF: Enables a variant of the TIFF file format without size limitation. This box can be checked if you encounter issues with very big jobs and if the controller supports it. If in doubt, consult the manufacturer's documentation.
Media tab
-
Information: at the top of the window, you are able to see information about your media. There you have access to two actions:
- Save: when you click on this button, the current media settings are saved to the selected media profile (printer, media, resolution, mode) so there will be applied for any new job using the same print configuration. If you don't save, the changes you made are only applied to the current job.
- Reload: will revert back to default as set during profiling or the last saved changes.
- Horizontal compensation (%): we recommend not to modify this. Any deviation is likely to be mechanical on the printer's side.
- Vertical compensation (%): this can be useful if you detect an increase or decrease in the length due to heating or media tension which is common when printing on vinyl or textiles for example. To calculate the compensation, click Compute and follow the software’s instructions.
- Paper ID: ID defined on the printer for an already created media and which can be entered here to link it to that paper/media ID.
- Curing delay (s): Delays the curing of a print pass. You can choose between 0 or 60 seconds. This can help create a more glossy effect, but it is recommended to follow the manufacturer or application specialists' advice before making any changes.
- Backlit print mode (double density): triggers a backlit printing mode on the device which will increase the amount of ink on the media.
- RIP in HotFolder: Generates the output files in a subfolder of the hotfolder to help you sort jobs. For example, if you enable it and set it with the number 2, the output files will be generated in NameOfYourHotFolder/HotFolder2.
Comments tab
On this tab you can see comments coming from the EasyMedia module. It can include comments from the global media window and from the profile project window.
