  • Repeat count X-axis: Similar to Step'n'Repeat material, on the horizontal axis (left-right)
  • Repeat count Y-axis: Similar to Step'n'Repeat material, on the vertical axis (up-down)
  • Save Paper: Reduce blank space at the end of page/print
  • Auto Cut: Automatically cut at the end of print
  • Use status for job management: Uses information returned by the printer for media size, and print end detection
  • EpsonHTM threads: Specifies the number of parallel processes that calculate EPSON rasterization. Note that a trial-and-error approach is required to find the ideal value.

  • 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.

Advanced parameters

  • Ink Density Factor (%): Setting for EPSON Precision Dot modes, which gives EPSON screening the ink usage factor (for all inks except Fluo ones).
    For some media, this value must be increased to obtain optimum results, while for others it must be reduced.

  Info

The previous value can be determined by the use of special tools and test patterns. Please refer to EPSON in this case.

Only on F6400H driver:

  • Ink Density Factor Fluo Pink / Yellow: Fluorescent Pink ink setting for EPSON screening (see above)
