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

  Info

Even on the flatbed version of the printer, the Rewind after Print parameter must be enabled to lay several jobs in the same position for multilayering. Otherwise, the print will start after the previous job, similar to operation on a roll printer.

  • 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.

  Warning

Disabling the checkbox for any of the following options will result in using the parameter value as set on the printer panel.

  • 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: select Low or High to adjust the gap between the head and the plate.
  • 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.
  • Overprint: this performs additional passes to increase ink density. The user can define the amount of overprint layers with a factor between 1 and 9.

 

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.
  • Lamps intensity (%): the percentage of maximum power of the lamps.
  • Passmask overlap: this parameter overrides RIPC (Roland Intelligent Pass Control) pass overlap. Enable this override only if you know what you are doing. It affects fundamental print mode definition.

  Warning

We do not recommend changing the Vardot settings, as they are intended for advanced use only.

  • 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.
  • Fixdot level: choice of the fixdot level between Small, Medium or Large.

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 tab_300px.png

  • 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 %.
  • 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.
