Printer tab
- Check Media Width: Warns the user if the loaded media is too small to accommodate the printed image.
- Don’t Generate White Margins: Disables white margin generation around the image (top, left, bottom, and right), reducing the volume of transferred data. However, this may compromise control over proper positioning and roll size.
- Exit Tray: Allows you to select the desired exit tray for printed jobs.
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.
- Type: Type of media as selected when the media was created.
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 %.

- Refresh: button to refresh the tab.
