Printer tab
- Refresh level: Select the frequency of print head refresh. You can choose between Low, Normal, High or Very High.
- Scan width: This option allows the user to limit the movement of the head to either the printer's full width or only job's width. You can choose between Printer (the head scans all the printer's width) or Job (limits the head scan over the job's width only).
- Left UV panel power: Select the UV led strength of the left side UV panel. You can choose between Panel (uses value configured on the panel), Off (turn off UV curing or a preset UV strength (Minimum, Low, Medium, High or Maximum).
- Left UV panel power irradiate during: Select when the UV curing will be enabled for the left side UV panel. You can choose between Right to left (UV led will be turned on when head scans from right to left and turned off otherwise), Left to right (UV led will be turned on when head scans from left to right and turned off otherwise) or Both direction (UV led will be turned on when the head scans from left to right and from right to left).
- Right UV panel power: Select the UV led strength of the right side UV panel. You can choose between Panel (uses value configured on the panel), Off (turn off UV curing) or a preset UV strength (Minimum, Low, Medium, High or Maximum).
- Right UV panel power irradiate during: Select when the UV curing will be enabled for the right side UV panel. You can choose between Right to left (UV led will be turned on when head scans from right to left and turned off otherwise), Left to right (UV led will be turned on when head scans from left to right and turned off otherwise) or Both direction (UV led will be turned on when the head scans from left to right and from right to left).
- (6 colors only)Varnish special effect: In case of Special selected in layer configuration and a Varnish separation defined, this parameter defines a preset for UV curing in order to achieve a special effect with varnish ink. You can select one of the following option: Matte (performs a matte finish with varnish ink) or Glossy (performs a glossy effect with varnish ink).
- (6 colors only) Under layer: Select what ink type should be printed under. If the Under layer is the same as the Top layer, only one layer will be printed. If a special layer is selected, you have to choose the layer separation (where to put the ink) in one of the tabs of the page setup. You cannot enable two separations at the same time if two special layers have been selected. An error will occur, as this printer can only print one special layer at the time. You can select one of the following option: None, Color or Special
- (6 colors only) Top layer: Select what ink type should be printed over. If the Under layer is the same as the Top layer, only one layer will be printed. If a special layer is selected, you have to choose the layer separation (where to put the ink) in one of the tabs of the page setup. You cannot enable two separations at the same time. If two special layers have been selected, an error will occur, as this printer can only print one special layer at the time. You can select one of the following option: None, Color or Special.
- Enable workchange feature: If enabled, the printer will automatically switch from remote to local after printing one job (or one copy of a job) and will wait until you switch back to remote before sending the next copy/job. This allows you to change media between two prints.
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.
- Feed adjust: Set the media feed adjustment level value. The value 0.00 disable this function (use value set on panel) but a number -255 and 255 enable it (use selected feed adjustment level).
- Wave shape: Allow the user to select the waveform, changing slightly the ink drop size and speed.
- Overprint: Multiply the amount of ink by the selected factor. Type the number wanted (between 1 and 9) or use the + and - buttons.
- Dot type: Option that allow the user to select either a variable dot size (Automatic) or any fixed dot size (Large, Medium or Small).
