      To find the Paper Feed Calibration Value:
  • Print a line that is 1000 mm long in the paper feed direction
  • Measure the actual printed distance
  • Enter the difference as 1/10th millimeters. For example, enter 1.5 the measurement of the print is 985 mm.

Separation:

When you click on Separation, the following window will be displayed:

• Make Separations on RIP: This will cause the RIP to separate the image into CMYK plates.
• Make Negative: This inverts monochrome images when printed.
• K, C, M, Y, Lc, Lm, Lk, Llk: This allows you to print monochrome images to any of the printheads. This is especially useful to eliminate overuse of a single printhead when printing only monochrome.
