Printer tab

• Cut media after print: it enables the embedded cutter and automatically cuts the job after the print.

• Rewind after print: rewinds the media to its initial position after printing.

• Check media width: a warning is shown if the media width is smaller than the printed document.

• Show job name on printer panel: if enabled, it displays the job name on the printer panel screen. When disabled, the printer panel shows the current print mode.

• Don't check printer inks: doesn't display a warning if the printer inks do not match the selected print mode. When disabled, a warning is shown when a required ink is missing in the printer.

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.

• Vacuum power: you can choose the vacuum power. Use a predefine state:
  • normal
  • strong
  • off
  • or select a percentage

• Space between jobs: space is expressed in centimeters.

• Head height: adjust the gap between the head and the plate by selecting one of the following parameters:
  • Low
  • Middle
  • High

• Media feed calibration (%): specifies the distance-correction value in the media-feed direction, which corrects possible banding effects.

• Cutter friendly: indicates if the media supports cutting or not. It is a safeguard in case the printer parameter Cut media after print is enabled for a media that is not compatible. In order to cut the media, both options must be enabled.

Advanced parameters

• Overprint: this performs additional passes to increase ink density. The user can define the number of overprint layers with a factor between 1 and 3.

Media: Override tab

• Scan Speed: scan speed can only be reduced by specifying the amount in % (in steps of 10%). The value 100% corresponds to the predefined value of selected print mode.
• Feed Speed: 10%-100% by 10% steps. Allows to reduce the feed speed relatively to the print mode.

• Vardot L/M factor: factor between Large and Medium dots.
• Vardot L/S factor: factor between Large and Small dots.
• Vardot max S: maximum percentage of Small dots.
• Vardot max M: maximum percentage of Medium dots.

Media: 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.

Status tab

• Status: global state of the printer:
  • Ready
  • Not available
  • Printing

All data is coming from the printer, if it is not available, nothing can be displayed.

• Inks: information about the ink configuration and the inks levels in %.

• Heaters: temperature level of the Preheater, the Printheater and the Postheater.

• Media: information about the media loaded on the printer.

• Misc: complementary info about the printer (model, serial number, firmware version).

• Refresh: button to refresh the tab.
